DE Charles Johnson said after the season he put on about 10 pounds while working at Maake Kemoeatu’s football camp for kids in Waikiki Beach, Hawaii. “That Hawaiian food is hard to resist,” Johnson said with a laugh. Since then, Johnson has dropped those 10 pounds along with an additional 10 more to get down to 279, a weight he feels he’s comfortable playing at. "I'm a lot quicker now," he said.

The Panthers like what they see out of rookie DE Greg Hardy, but at this point the team has no plans to move him inside on pass-rushing downs as they like to do with DE Charles Johnson.

“He probably could from a temperament standpoint and strength and speed,” said defensive line coach Brian Baker said of Hardy. “Problems with it is, him being a rookie, he has to learn everything up front in our sub package -- and that’s a lot. I want him to get down the base stuff first and the nickel stuff as an end, and if he can handle more we can explore it.

“I’d like to do that. I like to have moving parts and matchups. I’m just not sure he’s ready for that.”
