Panthers Linebacker Group Just Got Bigger
/If you are an East Carolina Pirate, you know and love Zeek Bigger. He led the team in tackles in 2014 and 2015. His name alone sparks an excitement that was missing from last year's Pirates team. The ECU linebacker didn't get an invite to the combine after his senior year nor workout invitations from a pro organization in 2016. Bigger, however, wasn't going to let that adversity make him feel small. He played in a Spring Developmental League last season and attended Panther's rookie minicamp tryouts in April.
The Panthers have signed LB Zeek Bigger from East Carolina and waived LB Alex Bazzie.

Today, the Panthers signed Bigger to the 90-man roster. It's a big day for Zeek and one step closer to bigger days ahead.
