Kony Ealy: 'I'm just trying to elevate my game' in 2015

Second-year defensive end Kony Ealy is ready to make some noise this coming season. As a rookie, he started to get things going in the second half of the year. Heading into his second season? He's looking to contribute "way more" than he did last year, according to Max Henson of Panthers.com.

"I'm just trying to elevate my game and take it to another level," Ealy said after a recent OTA practice. "I want to help the team out more than I did last year."

"I've transitioned but am still learning and trying to mold myself in the league," Ealy told Panthers.com. "It's hard work, and I take it one day at a time."

Ealy has a great opportunity in front of him with the Panthers. Over the final three regular season games of 2014, he totaled three sacks and a forced fumble, showing his true potential heading into the upcoming year.
