Regardless of who is next to him, though, Wallace knows the job has become moderately easier thanks to the Panthers’ beefing up the defensive line. In addition to Derrick Brown<\/a> returning from injury to join A’Shawn Robinson<\/a> in the trenches, the defense also added Bobby Brown III<\/a> and Tershawn Wharton<\/a> in free agency. It’s a lineup that still takes Wallace by surprise when everyone is on the field together.<\/p>\n

“It’s great to have that great, a good D-line in front of us, so just watching them play and all that, sometimes I’ll be starstruck like ‘Oh boy, them boys balling.’ But then have to get to the play like ‘Oh Trevor, you playing ball.’ So you know it’s real good to have that,” Wallace said.<\/p>\n

“Upfront, (having DB back is) a lot of difference. That’s a big dude, and he can clobber a hole and do things that’s just crazy, and it’s really good having that in front of you.”<\/p>\n

Even with a stout line up front, much is asked of a middle linebacker in this game. And as Trevin Wallace continues to evolve into the player he’s going to become, he has two of the best in his corner, and in his text messages, every day, offering guidance only they can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Regardless of who is next to him, though, Wallace knows the job has become moderately easier thanks to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246280,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2075],"tags":[23699,79,235,260,2567,7,81,6942,6,236],"class_list":{"0":"post-246279","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-carolina-panthers","8":"tag-2025-training-camp","9":"tag-app-news","10":"tag-carolina","11":"tag-carolina-panthers","12":"tag-carolinapanthers","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-latest-news","15":"tag-luke-kuechly","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-panthers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114938566735657678","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246279\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
