Panthers' offensive mind got its start on line[Jan. 5, 2009] Play-calling wasn't in Jeff Davidson's master plan.
The man who now coordinates the Carolina Panthers' quickly-evolving offense grew up near Columbus, Ohio, born and bred to be an offensive lineman.
He was a Parade All-American as a high school senior, and went on to star on the line and serve as a captain for the Ohio State Buckeyes, just like his father, Jim.
