To the young Carolina Panthers team, video games aren't just a way to wind down after a tough game or grueling practice. It's a way to bond with teammates off the field while, of course, shooting each other in the face.

"It's always fun to shoot your teammates," laughs Jonathan Stewart, one of the biggest gamers on the Panthers, and ringleader to the team's "Call of Duty" deathmatches.

"When I first got to Charlotte, one of the things me and DeAngelo (Williams) had in common was our love for 'Call of Duty.' We'd always play online against some of my friends from back home or we'd get some of our other teammates into playing the game. We play it all the time," Stewart explains over the phone as he shares his passion for Activision's billion-dollar franchise. "There's a lot of trash talking going on, that's for sure."

Besides talking junk, another thing you can count on when Stewart's pulling the trigger, is the game will feature a lot of blood.

"I don't care how many times I die in the game. All I care about is how many kills I get," he says. "I'm doing whatever it takes to get a kill. I'll run into an area where the enemy is at, I don't care if there's four of them hiding there, I'll try to kill as many of them as I can before they take me out. I'm not much of a sniper. I'm too antsy for that. I want action."
