Am I the only one that wants to see more Darrin Reaves, possibly even with the first string?

The kid 5'10 220 , but can cut like he is on rails and gets low. It seemed to me the entire run game picked up a bit the moment he stepped onto the field.

 

Do the Panthers need to get a really good look at him earlier in the game to really be able to evaluate him? Would it be worth it to limit Barner carries to give him more?

 

What sayest thou, huddle?

You're not alone. I believe at this point he could be a better option that JStew ( who stays injured).

The entire running game struggled to get much going... Barner was shut down all game long and Fozzy Whittaker and Darrin Reaves had a couple decent runs, albeit late in the game... This all still points to our issues at OL and getting those big men settled in their new positions and finding a rhythm with each other..

I'm sure we will.  The Reaves v. Barner v. Whitaker preseason battle is one that's winner could definitely see playing time.

 

Reaves looks like he's got the most authority when he runs.  Decisive with his cuts as well.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
