No matter how fast the receivers are, they need a quarterback to deliver them accurate passes. Teddy Bridgewater has shown the leadership ability necessary to command the huddle, with both Samuel and Anderson noting how Bridgewater's teammates gravitate toward him. But Bridgewater has also faced criticism for his effectiveness throwing deep. Like head coach Matt Rhule, Samuel is unconcerned with that line of thinking.
"People are going to talk," Samuel said. "All we're going to do is focus and keep going out there each and every day, keep working on what we need to work on, and we're going to do great."
Anderson, who spent his first four season with the Jets, agrees.
"This is probably my first time being around an all-around group like this of athletes," he said. "I played with some very good, great players. But I think all around, this is the best situation I've been in across the board."
And because the Panthers have fast corners like Donte Jackson, Eli Apple and Troy Pride Jr., there's a sense that both sides can improve one another. They likely won't be seeing the same sort of speed from an opponent when the regular season arrives.
"It's a great challenge for us to have receivers like that with that type of speed in practice, because therefore once you get into the season, once we get rolling, you've seen it already," Whitehead said. "I don't think there's too many other guys that have that type of speed, and finesse, and hands."
So for all the sleep Whitehead's losing now, he may be able to rest a bit better in the regular season, knowing he's better prepared to face speed.
