In the backfield RBs Kevin Gray and Layton Dworaczyk are a solid one-two punch that combined for 1,500 yards last year. Derek Tesch moves to QB and may need a little time to adjust. On defense, linemen Anthony Vela and Griffin Giorda are capable. At LB Chase Howells, Adrian Young and Lance Gottardy will start. The Panthers seem well equipped for a good year.
