Elijah Hood provides power for Carolina Panthers. Can he make the team?

Posted Aug 20, 2018
Friday night’s touchdown wasn’t the first that Elijah Hood had ever scored at Bank of America Stadium. Now he must try to make sure it won’t be the last. A former star at both Charlotte Catholic and North Carolina, Hood bullied his way into the end zone from 3 yards out for the Carolina Panthers’ final touchdown Friday in a 27-20 preseason win over the Miami Dolphins.
