Hints for getting the most out of TC?

Recommended Posts

I'm headed down to training camp one day next week, probably taking my little brother who is a huge fan as well.

I've never been to training camp and this is my shot so I'm looking for some hints from you guys who are old veterans. I'm not an autograph guy-- I want to see the football stuff....drills, scrimmages, etc. I used to coach high school football so I'm definitely interested in the nuts and bolts.

Gonna do a morning practice.... so, any hints?

Thanks!

I just got back today so i may be able to help. If you don't care about autographs then it'll be easy for you to fit right in. Don't even have to be there early just to watch practice.

They switch around on 3 different fields so it's hard to guess where the action that you may want to see will be held. You'll just have to move around. If you don't care about being right in front of the action then simply take a chair or blanket and relax on the hill and see it all. Binoculars are pretty good to have at times if you're on the hill.

Wear light clothing and a cap. Sun block is a must. No coolers but can have water bottles.

I was there for 3 days and I miss it already. It's a lot of fun. I recommend staying for several practices.

Do they have rosters printed up or anything down there, or can I print one off the Panthers website? I don't know some of the new guys numbers.

Any particular day that's better than another to go? Just have time to hit one morning practice.

Thanks all!

Yes, they have rosters available at the Team Spartanburg / Convention & Visitors Bureau tent right outside the gate to the viewing area.

Morning practices are on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 9:10 a.m. They also have a 9:30 a.m. scheduled on Sunday, Aug. 16.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
