Captain Munnerlyn is officially back with the Panthers as of this morning and spoke on how he made it back, why, and what he looks forward to. Here are the highlights.

Munnerlyn also faced questions regarding his comments on the Panthers being "front runners" last season. He said he was just "talking a little noise." He was also asked about his criticism of Devin Funchess last season not "being all that good." 

That competitiveness may be some of the reason why Captain is back. After the loss of Josh Norman, there wasn't much chirping going on in practice. You may remember the Norman-Newton scuffle prior to the big 2015 season's Super Bowl run. Munnerlyn also said Charles Johnson, Thomas Davis, and Luke Kuechly all played a role in recruiting him back to Charlotte.

Julius Peppers is expected to meet with the media sometime this week.
