Who is Carrington Byndom?

[Jeremy Igo]

I have seen more than one person around these parts ask who Carrington Byndom is and wonder how he ended up on the Panthers regular roster.

 

 

Well here is the low down....

 

 

Byndom was signed as an UDFA corner this season (The Panthers have another UDFA on the roster? Shocking....)

 

 

He was listed at 5'11 and 177 pounds at his pro day, which is a bit lighter than he needs to be with his frame. It is unclear if he has picked up some weight over the past several months, but in a pro regimen its reasonable to think so.

 

 

Training Camp and Preseason Impressions:

 

Struggled early but seemed to improve as the weeks went on. Has the length and speed to play the position, but was a bit timid. Did not press well, and that is an understatement. Needed lots of work on his hands. Also, appeared to be a bit apprehensive to get in and get physical when needed against the run. Not a great tackler.

 

 

How has be progressed since then?

 

No one knows. In the portions of practice that would indicate his progress, media is locked out. So we will have to wait and see on Sunday if he plays well enough to stick around for 2015.

At his pro day on a fast track, he ran a 4.35 and had a 36 inch vertical.  Broad jump was near 10'.  Good athlete.

i thought he looked pretty good in preseason. had a couple near INTs. he was around the ball a lot. a good 10-15 pounds is/was needed. i do worry about his physicality against slot guys, but at this point...it doesnt really matter.

He can't be worse than Cason, oh wait, Cason is a Pro Bowler right now.
