Two things popped out on this for me.

 

 

Benjamin has made more spectacular catches in his first few weeks of camp than arguably any receiver in Carolina history.

 

 

Smitty?

 

 

 

1. Kalil laughed when I asked him about all the questions surrounding the restructured offensive line, saying the line has been a question mark since he arrived eight years ago. The difference is Carolina had Jordan Gross at left tackle all those years. The Panthers don't now. Regardless of how the battle between Byron Bell and Nate Chandler shakes out to replace Gross, Carolina will have two undrafted players starting at the tackle positions because the other will start on the right side. No other team probably can -- or wants to -- say that.

 

 

Didnt realize Kalil has been here that long. 

 

 

Besides those article was pretty spot on.

A bit of info on our man Nate Chandler...

Nate was a California kid. He actually projected as a TE when he was a high profile national recruit coming out of high school. A big athletic kid with good hands. He choose to stay close to home when he signed with UCLA.

People who follow college football on the west coast may know better than me but I think Jim Mora became the HC there at some point during Nates college career.

Anyway.. After a redshirt season Nate started as an OT as a frosh then moved to TE as a soph. Due to his size and athletic ability and the needs of the team Nate switched sides his JR year playing inside and outside d line.

Nate Chandler has shown a maturity and selflessness to change positions and also had the ability to have some success. He's a smart player and it was likely all of these qualities with diverse experiences and versatility that made our man Ron fall for him back when no one knew who he was or why we kept him around as a UDFA.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
