Elijah Hood returns to the neighborhood

Posted May 12, 2018
For Elijah Hood, all is good in the world thanks to another dose of Carolina blue in his life. "I was just in California earlier this week, and now I'm in this Carolina blue, playing for the Panthers," Hood said, looking down and tugging at his Panthers jersey after the first practice of rookie minicamp almost as if to confirm that it was still there. "I couldn't be happier." (Carolina Panthers)
