SPORTS REPORT WE’RE HERE IN UPTOWN CHARLOTTE ON THE PANTHERS PRACTICE FACILITY, WHERE ROOKIE MINICAMP WAS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY WITH THE FIRST OF TWO PRACTICES SLATED FOR THIS WEEKEND. NOW, THE MANTRA OF KEEP POUNDING IS VERY MUCH PART OF THIS FROM THE BEGINNING OF ITS EXISTENCE, BUT SO IS THE BLOODLINES AND THE FAMILY TIES, NO MORE SO THAN WHAT WE’VE SEEN ON THIS PRACTICE FIELD. ON FRIDAY, MOOSE MUHAMMAD THE THIRD, THE SON OF MUHSIN3 MUHAMMAD, WHO’S A PANTHERS HALL OF FAMER, WE HAD A CHANCE TO GO ONE ON ONE WITH MOOSE AND HIS CHANCE TO MAKE THIS FRANCHISE’S ROSTER AND A CHANCE TO MAKE AN IMPACT WITH THIS ORGANIZATION. YOU KNOW, THIS JERSEY. WHAT’S IT LIKE TO PUT IT ON FULL CIRCLE MOMENT? MAN, I KEEP SAYING IT LIKE IT’S JUST IT’S A BLESSING TO SAY THE LEAST, FOR SURE. WAS THIS ONE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT YOU WERE HOPING TO GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO TO PLAY WITH? MAN, IT’S ALWAYS BEEN A DREAM, YOU KNOW, TO PLAY IN THE NFL. WHATEVER TEAM WAS WILLING TO REACH OUT AND GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY, THAT’S WHERE I WAS GOING TO GO. BUT MAN, LIKE I SAID, A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT BLESSING JUST TO BE HOME IN MY CITY, YOU KNOW, PLAYING, PLAYING BALL, PLAYING THE GAME I LOVE. YOU KNOW, THERE’S THERE’S THAT NAME ALONG THE BOARDS. DAD’S NAME THERE FOR YOU. WHAT HAS HE TAUGHT YOU ABOUT PLAYING HERE? WHAT HAS HE SPOKEN TO YOU ABOUT THIS ORGANIZATION? OBVIOUSLY YOU LIVED IT, DREAMED IT, YOU KNOW IT. BUT WHAT IS HE KIND OF IMPARTED ON YOU AS WELL? EVERYTHING. I MEAN, EVERYTHING I KNOW. KUDOS TO MY FAMILY, MY COACHES, MY TEAMMATES. IT’S A BLESSING. ALSO FOR YOU, THOUGH, YOU HAD A GREAT COLLEGE CAREER ON YOUR OWN, MAKING YOUR OWN NAME, HOW MUCH IT NOW, IS IT ABOUT YOU DOING YOUR OWN THING, MAKING YOUR OWN NAME, TRYING TO BUILD YOUR OWN LEGACY AS A PLAYER NOT ONLY FOR THIS ORGANIZATION BUT IN THE NFL? IT’S ABOUT THE SAME FOR SURE. I HAD A GREAT I WOULDN’T SAY GREAT, BUT I’D SAY A PRETTY GOOD FIRST DAY OF CAMP OVERALL. JUST HAPPY TO
