DJ Chark is nonstop with the interesting stories today!

On Andy Dalton, Chark says Dalton's son had a photo of Chark as the screensaver on his iPad – so that obviously bonded them.

DJ Chark on Adam Thielen:
"He runs like he's 26, which is pretty impressive, because he's not."

DJ Chark says he's learned some interesting things about Bryce Young off the field, including the fact he used to drive Door Dash during his first year at Alabama.

"I don't know if I was supposed to say that."

DJ Chark asked who the fastest receiver on the team was: "You're looking at him. At least that's what Madden says."

Ickey Ekwonu said Bryce Young "brought the house down," during the rookie show, perhaps better than his own performance last year (and Ekwonu got a standing ovation then).

Said it turned into a sing-along, everyone was into it.

Shaq calls Kamu Grugier-Hill a "silent killer" after his second pick in as many days.

Thinks he can play a role on defense, and offers something significant beyond his special teams ability.

Shaq Thompson said Bryce Young "set the stage" during the rookie talent show.

Said he "shocked" them a little with his performance and personality.

"A whole different Bryce."

Head coach Frank Reich says there was a "really good back-and-forth" between the offense and defense today, after the second day of Panthers training camp practice

Kamu Grugier-Hill with ANOTHER pick (his second of camp — on the second day, mind you) vs. Andy Dalton…

The celebration that followed between him, Jaycee Horn, Brian Burns, and Brandon Smith was a delight.

Undrafted rookie Nash Jensen has gotten some run with the starters at both guard spots today. Coaches like what they’ve seen from him so far. Obviously the real test will be when pads come on but he has impressed.

This personnel grouping with Sanders, Shenault, Hurst, and two traditional WRs (Thielen and Chark) creates a lot of opportunities for the Panthers.

You can come at opponents a lot of different ways with those cats.

RG Austin Corbett adding some on-field drills into his rehab routine. Another step in his recovery from a torn ACL in January.

Cade Mays has been working in his spot with the starters, as Corbett isn’t expected to be ready for the start of the regular season. pic.twitter.com/3tcKkfdXaU

Laviska Shenault taking individual drills with the RBs. He’s going to touch the ball a good bit this year.

He was in the backfield during yesterday’s team drills, lined up there and motioning into some two-back looks. A lot of different ways to use him.

That American flag might be fluttering up on top of the hill, but as you can see from the uprights, there is no breeze down in this hole. pic.twitter.com/GXdxIdjKMV

OLB Marquis Haynes getting some attention in the athletic training tent, getting stretched out.

He’s lining up with the starters opposite Burns, so that’s an important one to keep an eye on.
