The best thing about being the worst team in the NFL, is you get the #1 pick in the Draft. Since the Carolina Panthers had the first pick, they had a BIG Draft Party at the stadium and outside of it last night. It was a great event for families and we headed over to check it out! Here the boys are with one of the Panther Cheerleaders.
There were lots of free items and give-a-ways.
Bubba's favorite was the Krispie Kream Donuts! With sweet tea coming in a close second!
They opened up the locker room for the fans to have a look around.
Curtis and Johnny wanted their picture taken by Jimmy Clausen's locker...the old Notre Dame quarterback, and the Panther's quarterback. (For now).
Look at all his CLEATS!
Love this sign hanging in the room!
The boys were VERY excited!
Next they got to run out of the tunnel and onto the field!
On the field was a combine for kids to do, just like the players have to compete in to get drafted to the NFL. Here they are lined up for the 40 yard dash.
Curtis doing a course and catching a thrown ball in the process.
Here's another drill they had to do.
Curtis got a hand off and had to run through these drills!
They all loved it!
Here's Johnny above.
Even Bubba loved it!
Finished!
Staying focused!
LOVING SIR PURR the mascot!
Below is Johnny doing another drill in the end zone! It was a really fun and cool experience for the boys to act like a REAL player for a little while! The Panthers know how to throw a party! We didn't stay for the #1 announcement, or for a free country music concert outside the stadium, as it was a school night. But we did really enjoy ourselves!
