So Grier’s focus is on being ready, admittedly a tough adjustment after starting every game his two seasons at West Virginia and starting from the time he first played quarterback. Grier completed only 52.8 percent of his passes for 228 yards with four interceptions and no touchdowns. Walker will start the game, and Grier will come in after.īefore that, Rhule’s only game exposure to Grier was when his Baylor team played West Virginia (Grier had 353 yards passing and three touchdowns) in 2018 and film of the last two games of the 2019 season, when Grier started during Cam Newton’s injury-plagued year.Īnd those starts weren’t résumé material. With Carolina's starters not playing in the preseason opener (1 p.m.) against the Colts, this will be Grier’s first opportunity in a game to impress since they met in college. His audition starts Sunday in Indianapolis. The 26-year-old has to prove to coach Matt Rhule he’s better than Walker, who played for Rhule at Temple and was the choice last year when Teddy Bridgewater missed a game due to injury. So the next few weeks are crucial in terms of Grier’s future, not just with the Panthers but perhaps the NFL. And there are no guarantees he will beat out former XFL star P.J. He won’t be Carolina’s starter, like the top pick of the 2021 draft is expected to be in Jacksonville, because that job belongs to Sam Darnold. He began growing it initially because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but now it’s to the point of becoming a thing.īut what Grier would rather have in common with Lawrence is a lock on a job. Grier’s dark brown locks flow from the back of his helmet just like Lawrence’s signature blond mane does in Jacksonville. – Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence doesn’t have much on Carolina Panthers backup quarterback Will Grier - at least in the hair department. Will Grier has 'rally hair' and the focus it may take to be Panthers' backup QBĬHARLOTTE, N.C.
