It's been a rough few years for Carolina Panthers fans as the franchise hasn't appeared in the postseason since 2017 and has endured back-to-back five-loss seasons under third-year head coach Matt Rhule. The organization is also in search of a franchise quarterback. Despite all of that Julian Council believes that there are several things Panthers fans should be looking forward to heading into the 2022 season, such as the breakout potential for Brian Burns, reconstructed offensive line, growth of Terrace Marshall, and more.

Julian also believes that the Panthers shouldn't just be excited about things but there are things to be hopeful about heading into the year, including contending for a playoff spot and the development of rookie quarterback Matt Corral.

Plus, the Panthers are headed back to Wofford College for training camp. When can fans attend practices? What key dates should fans have circled?
