CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PANTHERS WIRE) -- A lot of players will make their debut in a Panthers uniform today. Guys like Dontari Poe, Torrey Smith, Da’Norris Searcy, Donte Jackson and D.J. Moore will all be making their first impressions on Carolina fans.
One guy who’s already extraordinarily popular is new owner David Tepper, who seems much more personable than his predecessor.
Watch Tepper greet tailgating Panthers fans before his first game as owner.
Tepper's public appearance comes after the Panthers painted the team logo on the field at Bank Of America Stadium earlier in the weekend. During Jerry Richardson's reign as owner, the NFL shield was painted over the midfield.
