Jeremy Shockey says he feels great and OC a factor in signing

Jeremy Shockey says he feels as healthy as he has in years this offseason.

"I feel like a different person compared to what I was doing last year in New Orleans and the year before in New Orleans," he said. Shockey missed nine games during his three years with the Saints, and was almost never at 100 percent health. Although it's nice that he is now, he's as unlikely as anybody to stay that way whenever the 2011 season finally gets under way.

Shockey said one of the factors in him signing with the Panthers was that he has a close relationship with offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski. Chudzinski was Shockey's tight ends coach during his college career.

Shockey also said he will not be attending the start of the team's player-organized workouts next week but plans to attend some of the workouts. He has been working out in Miami with several former University of Miami players.
