    Panthers third-year cornerback/punt returner Captain Munnerlyn came away from the team's player-run workouts impressed with first overall pick Cam Newton's arm and work ethic. "He's a great kid, a great guy. He works hard. I'd say he's a workaholic," Munnerlyn said according to Ben Thomas of the Mobile Press-Register. "I didn't think he could throw at first, but I was wrong. I watched him in the 7-on-7 drills and he looks great. He's a big dude and a great athlete. I hope we can make something happen with him." A 2009 seventh-round pick out of South Carolina, Munnerlyn has started nine games in his 31-game career with the Panthers, totaling 89 tackles and three interceptions, all coming during the 2010 season, and averaging 9.9 yards on 61 punt returns.
