Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule is staying patient on making any depth chart decisions as competitions heat up a week into Training Camp. Julian Council explains why Rhule actually has a good reason not to rush personnel decisions.

One player that isn't running with the first team that has fans concerned is rookie Ickey Ekwonu. Rhule has maintained that the sixth overall pick will have to earn his spot on the Panthers starting offensive line. In the meantime, Taylor Moton has taken up a role as a mentor for Ekwonu, highlighting a few things that he has to improve on to reach the level Rhule is expecting. Julian recalls how the start of Moton's career in Carolina is similar to Ekwonu's at this current stage.

Plus, the Panthers will scrimmage in pads for the first time on Saturday. Julian details what he's looking forward to seeing.
