Three weeks before they open the preseason against the Ravens, and the Carolina Panthers are the talk of Baltimore. Well, on a small section of sand, at least.
On Monday night, Cam Newton and company crashed Baltimore Beach's summer volleyball scene. On Tuesday, they went back to the Inner Harbor for more:

So Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers are down here on the beach playing volleyball. I have no clue who that is. They sorta suck at beach but DAMN they can jump!

If you're wondering why so many Panthers are up North, it's because, like last summer, Newton invited his pass catchers to Under Armour's facilities for three days of pre-training camp workouts.
All six tight ends, Joe Webb, and most, if not all receivers accepted the invite, including Kelvin Benjamin, who missed the trip last summer.
The Panthers came to work. Great start to the week being able to help Cam Newton and some of his teammates get some work in. Keeping it rolling the UA way with some two-a-days. @natecosta19 @ponton27 @junemix5 @seantn_45 @spencerjhawk @underarmour #underarmour #UA #iwill #iwillwhatiwant #grinding #humbleandhungry #carolinapanthers
