CHARLOTTE — Rookie edge rusher Nic Scourton has made a significant impact on the Carolina Panthers, recording 28 quarterback pressures this season, which is the highest number for a rookie since tracking began.
Channel 9 spoke to Scourton this week as he and the Panther defense prepare to take on the Buccaneers for a second time this season. This time the NFC South title is on the line.
“It’s a blessing to be a rookie and to be in this position, especially just thinking about the history in Carolina,” Scourton said. “Coming into the season with that mindset, everybody’s against us, and we don’t care about anybody but the people in the building.”
