Football season is around the corner, and on Tuesday NFL players began reporting to training camp. It was a special day for Panthers rookie Curtis Samuel, who’s attending his first-ever pro camp. It can be intimidating to start school for the first day, so Samuel’s mom was there to drop him off:
Panthers rookie gets dropped off by his mom on first day of training camp
Awww it’s like the first day of school!


James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
This is so sweet. The video shows Samuel’s mom watch on like a nervous parent while her son walks to camp with Panthers.com writer Bill Voth. Now comes the horrible wait until the end of the day.
Did Curtis have fun?
Did he make new friends?
Are his teachers nice?
Did he find people to sit with during lunch?
Hopefully his first day goes well. This is just the best.
