SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) -If Jimmy Clausen indeed becomes Carolina’s franchise quarterback, it’ll be after overcoming a humble beginning to his professional career.
Three months after his draft weekend snub, a nervous Clausen fumbled a couple of snaps early in his first workout of training camp with the Panthers on Thursday before laboring in the intense heat in his new role: third-stringer.
It was a long way from all the high school hype, the brashness at Notre Dame and the declaration after the Panthers finally ended his two-day draft wait with the 48th selection that his goal was to be the starter from day-one.
The cockiness was missing after his first workout as he tries to move up the depth chart.
