While the Carolina Panthers were down in Spartanburg, S.C., for training camp, fans received a number of updates on popular players like Cam Newton, D.J. Moore, Greg Olsen, Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis, Donte Jackson, Christian McCaffrey and Shaq Thompson.

And what of fourth-round pick Ian Thomas?

Some of the plays Thomas made at training camp did not get the attention they deserved, but his teammate Luke Kuechly wants people to understand that Thomas played well, saying the rookie stood out on offense.

We witnessed Thomas’ best performance at Fan Fest early on in training camp. He kicked off the night with an excellent juggling catch down the middle of the field. He finished the night with a handful of receptions and compliments from his teammates, including Kuechly and Greg Olsen.
