Nice read from Panthers.com.....

CHARLOTTE -

"With the new rules that have come about through the CBA, we're trying to feel our way through it to make sure we do things the right way," Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said. "It was actually pretty good. I was very encouraged. There are a lot of good things that came out from a lot of the young guys that we have out there."

While Kuechly does have some experience on the outside, Friday's late-afternoon practice was a new experience for second-round draft pick Amini Silatoluicon-article-link.gif, who will play guard for the first time since high school after playing tackle throughout college.

"It was pretty hard. I've still got a lot of catching up to do," Silatolu said. "I was real nervous coming in, but I learned a lot from Coach (John) Matsko and Coach (Ray) Brown about pass sets and footwork and technique. I've just got to keep getting in shape and keep working at it, just learning the position."

Cornerback Josh Normanicon-article-link.gif, a fifth-round draft pick out of Coastal Carolina, spent portions of his first day as a pro learning an unfamiliar backpedaling technique.

"It was a very fast tempo, and I'm just trying to get used to everything," Norman said. "I was a little cautious. There were some nerves in there as well, just getting used to everything and feeling my way through stuff.

"This is a dream come true, but I haven't had time to think about that."

The good news for the draft picks is that there is time.

They may be fast approaching their final round of final exams back at college, but they're just starting their first semester at the school of hard knocks that is the NFL.

"It's only the beginning," Silatolu said. "I've still got all spring and summer."
