Some Carolina Panthers Wouldn't Talk To Rivals Because Of Their Recruiting Rankings
By Ty Duffy
Rivals’ Krysten Peek was at Super Bowl Media Day, or whatever it’s now called. Per her, some Carolina Panthers players felt Rivals underrated them and would not talk on camera. No word on whether they pointed a baseball bat at her.
Some Carolina Panthers players refused to talk to me on camera because Rivals 'didn't have me ranked high enough in high school' #seriously

I felt like reminding these guys YOU'RE PLAYING IN A SUPER BOWL! What do you care what you were ranked?!

Peek does not mention the players. So, we’ll just presume this was Cam Newton still smarting about being ranked the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback behind Tyrod Taylor.
