“Four Downs with [name of a Panthers’ player here]” will be a weekly Q&A featuring at least four questions. Most questions will be Charlotte-related. Some will be serious, others not so much. But hopefully, it’ll all give you a better sense of these guys.
First up is long snapper J.J. Jansen. He leads things off because he’s sometimes the forgotten member of Carolina’s “Bomb Squad.” For example, kicker Graham Gano was the central figure in last week’s “Why the Panthers Are Mad About Madden” piece and punter Brad Nortman was featured in a lovely Charlotte Magazine spread last October.
Jansen needs some love, too, so let’s give him some:

BBR: “Out of you three, Graham and Brad get most of the attention. Where does that leave you?”
Jansen: “Right where they want me, which is with no attention at all.”
