     We are 30 days away from the beginning of the Carolina Panthers 2018 season. That means today we take a closer look at running back Elijah Hood.Elijah Hood http://www.pantherscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-christian-mccaffrey-jersey , Running backBioHeight: 5’11”Weight: 230 lbsAge: 22College: North CarolinaNFL Experience: 1 yearElijah Hood was drafted in the seventh round (No. 242 overall) by the Oakland Raiders in the 2017 NFL Draft and spent 15 of 16 games last season on their practice squad. In the one game he appeared, he didn’t record any statistics. The Raiders released him in May, and the Panthers claimed him off waivers.Here’s a brief summary of his college career, courtesy of the Panthers’ website:Hood is from Charlotte and was excited to find out he was picked up by the Panthers since they are his hometown team. He’ll enter a very crowded room at running back and is probably a long-shot to make the roster. He’ll have to beat out Cameron Artis-Payne and/or Kenjon Barner to make the team, and then he’ll have to compete with Christian McCaffrey and C.J. Anderson to get carries. There’s also a possibility that he could be used as a fullback Womens Dontari Poe Jersey , which would give him an easier route to the 53-man roster as only Alex Armah would be standing in his way.I don’t think Hood will make the 53-man roster, but I do believe the Panthers will keep him on the practice squad in case of an injury to one of the other four running backs. On the bright side for UNC fans, you should see plenty of him during the second half of all four of Carolina’s preseason games. At least you’ll have that, right?Panthers 2018 season opener countdown: 58 days to go We are 58 days away from the beginning of the Carolina Panthers 2018 season. That means today we take a closer look at linebacker Thomas Davis.Thomas Davis, LinebackerBioHeight: 6’1”Weight: 235 lbsAge: 35College: GeorgiaNFL Experience: 14 yearsThomas Davis has been with the Panthers since they drafted him with the No. 14 pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. Since entering the league Womens Jarius Wright Jersey , he has been a three-time Pro Bowler (2015-2017), First-Team All Pro (2015), Second-Team All Pro (2013), and the Walter Payton Man of the Year (2014).Needless to say, Davis is one of the best linebackers in the NFL. This is especially true when you consider that he’s the only player in the history of the league to recover from three ACL injuries and not only continue his career http://www.carolinapanthersteamonline.com/daryl-williams-jersey , but get better. He is the physical embodiment of the ‘Keep Pounding’ slogan that was coined by former Panthers linebacker Sam Mills, and is widely considered as one of the best representatives of the Panthers on and off the field.Davis made waves back in January when he stated that 2018 would be his last season, but later said he was ‘very open to playing beyond 2018’ after he announced that he was suspended for the first four games of the 2018 season for violating the league’s PED policy.The one benefit for the Panthers regarding Davis’ suspension is that they have a more than capable replacement in Shaq Thompson, and they’ll also have a less worn down Thomas Davis when he’s eligible to return to action in Week 6*. It’s unclear if Thompson will continue to be the starter when Davis returns, but at the very least the Panthers will have a solid rotation between the two players.While 2018 may not be the last year for Davis in the NFL Youth Ian Thomas Jersey , it could be the last year for him in Carolina, provided the Panthers don’t give him a contract extension. If this is indeed his last ride with the Panthers, hopefully they can send him out on top with a Super Bowl victory, as he’s certainly someone who deserves it.*- Davis is suspended for four games, not four weeks. Since the Panthers have a bye in Week 4 Authentic Ryan Kalil Jersey , they won’t play their fourth game until Week 5.Information from Wikipedia contributed to this story
