Verret's only private work out was with, guess who?

Recommended Posts

Jason Verrett has everything you would want in an NFL cornerback – fluid hips, a great burst and a cool nickname.
 
The only thing Verrett doesn’t have is size.
 
A 5-foot-9, 189-pound former Texas Chrtistian standout, he is quick to point out several other short-statured defensive backs who’ve had success in the NFL.
 
“Captain Munnerlyn, Brent Grimes, Tyrann Mathieu – all those guys are Pro Bowl-caliber guys and make a lot of plays,” Verrett said Wednesday. “Being that they’re about the same stature and size, it only motivates me even more to make plays on the field.

 

 

Verrett got his chance when Don Gregory, the Panthers’ college scouting director, and secondary coach Steve Wilks flew to Fort Worth, Texas, in March to work out Verrett the day after TCU’s pro day.
 
It turned out to be Verrett’s only private workout before he had shoulder surgery March 17 to repair the torn labrum he played through during his final season at TCU.
 
“Definitely if Carolina wants to take me, I’d love to be out there,” Verrett said during a phone interview from his family’s home in northern California. “I felt like I killed the (dry erase) board work. I understand their defense and their scheme and places where I would fit, whether it’s in the nickel or even on the outside.”

Would love Verrett and have thought for some time he would be the pick if there. I even listed him first in an earlier post from today of D players that wouldn't annoy me for that reason. We didn't replace Captain and Verrett is a helluva lot better, younger, and cheaper.

    • I don't do locks lol. I just bet +1000 and up and can hit at a decent rate. Combine ml winners and team shots on target. Do better in champions league than anything else
    • Did not expect this from national media. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/10-best-nfl-defenses-2026-texans-seahawks-broncos 10. Carolina Panthers   Key additions: OLB Jaelan Phillips (FA), LB Devin Lloyd (FA), DT Lee Hunter (draft) Key losses: DT A’Shawn Robinson (FA) Don’t be surprised to see the Panthers, who ranked 15th in points allowed and 16th in yards given up last season, make the leap into the top-10 conversation in 2026.  They added two of the marquee defensive free agents in edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd. Cornerback Jaycee Horn is coming off back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons. Carolina lost starting defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson in free agency but essentially replaced him with second-round pick Lee Hunter, who had 10.5 tackles for loss at Texas Tech last season.  Ejiro Evero, one of the NFL’s most respected defensive coordinators, has plenty of talent to work with.
    • unless you have a bonafide superstar at Qb you bring in competition every year until you do & or at the very least you want a legitimate plan B in case of an injury .the problem in Carolina is they know Bryce ayoung most likely could not actually win a real legitimate NFL Qb competition right now & if & when he did not win that aforesaid Qb competition it would not only be a major distraction but a setback to his overall development.& moreover once the fans realized they had a much better Qb on the roster it would be alot of public pressure to start the better Qb  ...just saying
