Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess has said that he and teammate Kelvin Benjamin will cause "havoc" for opposing defenses next season.

The Panthers selected Funchess in the second round of the 2015 Draft, a year removed from picking Benjamin in the first round, who had immediate success in the league.

Funchess has insisted that he can make Benjamin even more of a threat and provide quarterback Cam Newton with another big target to hit in the endzone.

"We're going to be a dynamic duo, two 6ft 5in guys out there on the outside just making damage and causing havoc on the field," Funchess told the Detroit News.

"You never see that type of duo in the league, two 6ft 5in guys on the outside that are athletic and that can run and go up and get the ball.

"Nobody has that wingspan in the league like us, so it's going to be fun during the season."

The Panthers face the Jacksonville Jaguars in their 2015 season opener.
