Panthers’ Brian Burns, Stephon Gilmore arrive at 2022 Pro Bowl

Panthers representatives Brian Burns and Stephon Gilmore hit Vegas on Thursday to kick off this weekend’s 2022 Pro Bowl festivities.

There’s not much to be celebrated about the Carolina Panthers’ 2021 campaign. After all, what’s really left when the team goes 5-12 with seven straight losses to close out the season?

But, regardless of how many times they’ve done it, it’s always worth taking the experience in. Here’s how Burns and Gilmore hit the Las Vegas scene to kick off the weekend’s all-star festivities.
