CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Panthers wide receiver Brenton Bersin has something in common with the man writing his paycheck.
Bersin made Carolina's 53-man roster over the weekend, becoming only the second player from Wofford College to make an NFL roster. The other is Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, who played receiver for the Baltimore Colts more than a half century ago.
Bersin says "that's an honor, right there."
Bersin can only hope for the same success as Richardson, who caught a touchdown pass from Johnny Unitas in the 1959 NFL Championship game and later his used his signing bonus to open a successful burger chain and eventually bring the Panthers to the Carolinas.
Bersin isn't too worried about owning a team right now. His goal is much simpler -- to have an impact with the Panthers.
