Will Grier
Carolina Panthers (NFL)
QB | 6-1 | 220
Charlotte, N.C.
Will Grier got his inaugural start of the season this Sunday. In his debut, Grier went 27/44, completing 61% of his throws and threw for 224 yards while also serving up 3 interceptions. On paper, these stats don't look enticing, but it's important to note that the Panthers are a weak team this year and Grier had very little help surrounding. He also lost his best wide out, DJ Moore, very early in the first quarter. Grier will remain the starter for the final week of NFL action.
