Trying out for our Panthers 53-man roster is 28 year old linebacker Philippe Gardent (6'1" 240 lbs). This member of France's national bobsled team passed up the Olympics to pursue his dream of playing in the NFL some day.
Is he good? He was the first European-born player to claim NFL Europa MVP. Last year he led the league with 70 tackles and was co-Defensive POTY. This year he had 77 tackles and made the All-NFL Europa defensive team.
He's hoping he can do for the NFL in France what Tony Parker did for the NBA.
Bon chance!
