SAN FRANCISCO, CA — The Carolina Panthers are on the west coast this week for their first game in prime-time since 2023.
Defensive lineman Turk Wharton is no stranger to big games.
He won three Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Channel 9’s DaShawn Brown asked him what he brings from that winning culture to the Panthers.
“In Kansas City, it was always focused on a game at a time. Those conference games, we circled them because they count twice,” Wharton said. “Like even this game, we haven’t been on Monday Night Football here, so just understand that the world is watching you. So, you’re supposed to take that in and make sure when you go out there you go perform.”
You can hear more from Wharton, including what he enjoys about the Panthers defense, and how yoga and Pilates play a big role in keeping him game-ready.
That’s all on Eyewitness News live at the game. That airs on Channel 9 Sunday at 11:30 a.m.
The Panthers kick off in San Francisco Monday night, at 8:15 on Channel 9.
