Panthers Signing QB Tommy Stevens To Practice Squad

According to Tom Pelissero, the Panthers are signing QB Tommy Stevens to the practice squad. 

Stevens was converted to tight end for the Saints after they drafted him this past April. But Pelissero says Carolina is listing Stevens as a quarterback. 

Stevens, 23, was selected in the seventh round by the Saints this past April out of Mississippi State. He signed a four-year, $3.37 million contract with New Orleans, but was waived coming out of the preseason.

The Saints re-signed Stevens to their practice squad soon after before releasing him a few days ago.

During his college career at Penn State and Miss. State, Stevens threw for 1,459 yards while completing 59.9 percent of his passes to go along with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also rushed for 887 yards and 12 touchdowns over the course of four seasons and 29 games.
