The most interesting development from the Carolina Panthers OTA’s today was the amount of time rookies James Bradberry and Daryl Worley spent together with the first string defense. Together the duo spent the most time together out of all of the other Panthers corners with the first string defense. This may, or may not, change when Bene Benwikere is once again fully healthy.

However, while watching them out there together it became clear that a rookie corner duo come September is a real possibility. Both corners have such a similar game it is sometimes difficult to tell them apart. Both players are the prototype zone corner. Long, physical, and fast.

It is unclear which player is faster at this point. I asked them both after practice. “We still don’t know” Worley replied as both laughed. I had the feeling that each thought they were the faster player, but didn’t want to make a competition out of it.

What was clear, however, is that these two rookie corners seem to get along like longtime friends, not two guys that just met a few weeks ago.

You can see here for yourself, as Worley reveals a secret about Bradberry to the media.

As a baked bean lover myself, I feel like Bradberry’s stock just rose quite a bit.

In any event, it seems to me the demeanor of these young men away from the football is a positive sign that the Panthers defensive backfield chemistry will be stronger than ever. Don’t overlook that as meaningless media fodder. Chemistry on the Panthers defense is everything.
