CHARLOTTE — As the Carolina Panthers gear up for their big Monday Night Football match-up against the New Orleans Saints we’re sitting down with some of their key players.
Linebacker Shaq Thompson is one of six captains for the team. It’s his fourth year serving in that role.
“I had to be that guy next to Luke (Kuechly) that could also help the defense, be vocal, help guys out, get guys aligned because Luke can’t do it all by himself, even though he can,” Thompson said. “He can’t do it all by himself.”
In the video at the top of this webpage, Channel 9′s sports team with Phil Orban and DaShawn Brown share an inside look at linebacker Shaq Thompson’s journey with the team.
The Panthers will be on TV64 Monday night. Pregame coverage starts at 6:30 p.m. The game starts at 7 p.m. and will be followed by Eyewitness News live from the game.
