One other note: The Hall of Fame Class of 2016 will be announced Saturday. Marvin Harrison, Terrell Owens and Brett Favre are among the finalists.

Quotable: "It's a bunch of people around you that care about you, (who) care about your everyday problems. And when you're this close with people it's easy to have fun," said Panthers wide receiver Corey Brown, a Cardinal O'Hara alum. "The wideouts have fun with the linebackers and the d-line . . . there's not a person on this team that I couldn't hang out with outside of football."
