CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -There is plenty that differentiates Rhys Lloyd from his Carolina Panthers' teammates, ranging from his wild mop of hair, to his giant calves, his English accent and his ability to analyze international soccer. Lloyd's title also is something new for Carolina: kickoff specialist. But after seeing kickoffs routinely land at the 15-yard line or out of bounds last season, and after Lloyd's impressive one-game trial, the Dover, England native could provide some diversity this fall on the 53 |

Delhomme downplayed the significance of throwing about 40 passes in his latest rehabilitation milestone following ligament-replacement surgery, but his teammates and coaches |

The speedy and strong linebacker, whose life for so long had been defined by football and little else, saw his two children and pregnant wife, due in three weeks wi |
