Edwards ended his 2009 season at Appalachian State by becoming the first two- time winner of the Walter Payton Award, which honors the outstanding player in FCS. The Carolina Panthers drafted the quarterback, who was the first player in NCAA history to pass for 9,000 yards and rush for another 4,000 yards, to be a wide receiver. After his senior season at James Madison, Moats met up with Edwards on the day he received the Buck Bu |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -Before Carolina Panthers receiver Steve Smith arrived at his first minicamp minus his old quarterback, fullback, defensive end and other longtime teammates, he called buddy Muhsin Muhammad to tell him he misses him. Forgive Smith for feeling a little nostalgic. Muhammad, who wasn't re-signed, was part of a major offseason veteran purge that's left Smith among the last standing. The four-time Pro Bowl selection, who turns 31 next week, is now the third-oldest player on the roster afte |

| Lake Forest, IL (Sportsbooks) - The Chicago Bears acquired safety Chris Harris from the Carolina Panthers for linebacker Jamar Williams on Tuesday. Harris was picked by the Bears in the sixth round of the 2005 draft and spent his first two seasons with the club, but was traded to Carolina in 2007 for a fifth-round draft pick in 2008, which the Bears used to pick cornerback Zackary Bowman. Over his five years in the league, he has totaled 338 tackles, 10 interceptions, 22 passes defensed, 12 forced fumbles an |

All the concern that Appalachian State's Armanti Edwards had to switch from his natural quarterback position to wide receiver in the NFL didn't stop the Carolina Panthers from reaching across the state to grab the only two-time Walter Payton Award winner with the 89th overall pick in the third round.

NEW YORK (AP) -Jimmy Clausen turned out to be a first pick, after all. A day after being passed over in the first round of the NFL draft, Clausen was one excited quarterback: The Carolina Panthers used their first pick in the draft to select him in the second round Friday night, No. 48 overall. It could be a perfect fit. Coach John Fox told Clausen that the Panthers' offense is similar to the one he excelled in during his three years under coach Charlie Weis at Notre Dame. And there's this little nugget |

| New York, NY (Sportsbooks) - Jimmy Clausen waited longer than anticipated to hear his name announced during the 2010 NFL Draft, as the Notre Dame quarterback was taken with the 48th overall pick by the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers, who did not pick in the first round, were in need of a new signal-caller after waiving Jake Delhomme in March. Clausen, 22, opted to leave school a year early after tossing 28 touchdowns with just four interceptions last season for the disappointing Fighting Irish. "We talked t |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -The Carolina Panthers ended their long wait in the draft by ending Jimmy Clausen's surprising drop, taking the Notre Dame quarterback with the 48th pick on Friday. After sitting out the first night of the draft with no first-round pick, the Panthers addressed one of their biggest needs and perhaps presented competition to newly minted starter Matt Moore. The 6-foot-3, 2220-pound Clausen was rated as a first-round pick by many analysts, but wasn't selected on Thursday. Carolina took h |
