There was some good great news of the Panthers recently. LB Thomas Davis ran a 4.47-second 40 yard dash.

If we consider some of the previous performance, this was slightly off. A fact to be noticed here. Davis had a surgery just few months before to repair a torn ACL.

Well, he surprised everyone with his speedy recovery and doing more in post-draft minicamp than what was expected from him.

However, it was a good indication that Davis is almost 100 percent back from his blown knee last November.

It is a good news for a defense because it needs to be solid in the back seven to make up for the transition happening in the front four. With his being fit, it seems like he is taking challenges seriously.

He said that last Monday he turned in the time. He also mentioned that he is not far off his previous record.

He best was during the offseason last year.
