If preseason is an indicator, Ted Ginn Jr., above, offers the Carolina Panthers a quality they’ve lacked since Steve Smith returned kicks and punts.

There are basketball players I’d pay to watch shoot jump shots inside an empty gym. I’d pay to watch Ted Ginn Jr. run.

Ginn runs as if running is what he’s supposed to do. He’s 5-foot-11 but runs taller. His stride is smooth, his acceleration immediate, he’s here and then he’s not.

Be sure and write.

Ginn, 28, figured he was fast as a sophomore at Glenville High in Cleveland.

“That’s when I knew I had a gift,” Ginn says after practice Thursday. “And I just tried to enhance it. I took track so importantly that it really became my main sport over football. But it was just that I was much faster than anybody in football and track is what made me excel.”

If preseason is an indicator, Ginn offers the Carolina Panthers a quality they’ve lacked since Steve Smith returned kicks and punts.

Ginn returned only two punts during the preseason, one of them 74 yards for a touchdown against Baltimore.

A free agent whom the Panthers signed during March, Ginn also caught eight preseason passes for a team-high 214 yards and two touchdowns.

I picked up Ted in the last round of my keeper league. I think he's really going to have a good year. If they throw it deep to him 3 times per game minimum, he'll scorch the defense enough this year to make a huge difference for Carolina.

caught another td today....47 yards...carolina beat the giants 38-0

this could be his "breakout year"....scoring lots of touchdowns with carolina, 3 in the preseason and two already in the regular season

newton could be that quarterback that ginn has been looking for...and playing alongside another speedy guy in steve smith...i think smith must be teaching ginn a thing or two...

With two 40-yard TDs already, Panthers’ Ted Ginn Jr. has speed to burn

As Panthers quarterback Cam Newton fired the ball deep to receiver Ted Ginn Jr. on Sunday, the fans in Bank of America Stadium hushed expectantly.

Ginn was on a full-out sprint, and that is always a sight to behold. But Newton had really flung it – the ball went 54 yards in the air.

“I thought I overthrew him,” Newton said.

Watching the ball descend, Ginn had the opposite reaction.

“Oh yeah, I had it,” he said Wednesday. “But I had to slow down two or three steps.”

Ginn caught the ball, scoring on a 47-yard touchdown to match the 40-yard TD he had grabbed from Newton the week before against Buffalo. Ginn is now the only NFL offensive player with two touchdowns of at least 40 yards so far this season.

Playing on a one-year contract he signed in March that pays him $1.1 million – a lot by normal standards, but not much by the NFL’s – Ginn has already become a serious short-term bargain for Carolina.

Long-term? Ginn, 28, said he’s not thinking about it (“That’s what agents are for”), although he would like to stay in Charlotte. The Panthers undoubtedly will want him back for 2014, too, if he keeps producing like this.
