I’ve never seen anything like this in the 20-plus years that I have been watching football. Carolina Panthers’ gunner Dante Wesley simply launches into Clifton Smith as he was setting up to make a fair catch on a punt.
This was just an ignorant play by Wesley. Regardless of whether Smith signaled for a fair catch or not, he has to be given time to receive the ball before he can be contacted. Wesley had to know that he was early, but he made the hit anyway.
Wesley has been suspended for one game due to his lack of proper judgment.
