Sophomore linebacker and defensive back Christopher Williams watched the proceedings from the side, then stood next to the coach he might be taller than. Williams said he’s mostly familiar with Munnerlyn from seeing his highlights online and recognizing the name of a former Panther. That’s understandable since many of these high schoolers were born around the time Munnerlyn was being drafted in 2009, but they also have quickly picked up on his story, and what he’s selling.

“It’s impressive; I know that he knows what he’s talking about,” Williams said. “So you just hear him talk up there, his passion up there, and I’m excited to see where this goes, and I think he’s going to do good things for this program.
