Panthers safety Tre Boston: NFL players will fear me one day

Posted Aug 2, 2016
Tre Boston’s speech began to crescendo. The third-year safety, having earned the Week 1 job for the first time in his career, had something more to say. “It’s what I’ve always wanted and now it’s time to take off with it. I don’t see it as, ‘Oh this is your first year starting.’ No, I see it as it’s my first time to make plays. Really be somebody the league fears." (Charlotte Observer)
