Efe Obada hails Matt Rhule and the Carolina Panthers’ virtual offseason programme

1:26 NFL Network’s Steve Wyche feels there is “genuine sincerity” behind NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s apology to players for not listening to them about racism in the past

Obada appeared in a career-high 16-games last season as a rotational option on defense and special teams, finishing with 24 tackles and one pass defense.

A tough season posed another new technical challenge to the 28-year-old as the Panthers converted to a 3-4 base defense, which saw Obada play both on the edge and the inside.

Rhule looks set to revert to the 4-3 in 2020 and hinted at a more prominent role for Obada earlier this offseason, suggesting he is “really, really high” on him.

Obada continued: “I’ve been very fortunate to be around some amazing coaches and amazing players that have created an environment where it’s allowed us as players to develop and grow as humans, as well as football players.

“I can see that Matt Rhule has that same idea and philosophies and he has some really great morals. He’s very family orientated and he’s creating an environment that will allow us to thrive.

“I’ve seen that already in the virtual offseason so I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like when we’re in the building together as a brotherhood and going through the fire together in training camp.”
