Damiere Byrd WR, South Carolina to Panthers


Recommended Posts

To have that much athletic ability and go undrafted is a head scratcher. If we can find room for him on the roster he sounds like a speed specialist. Go deep or run the reverse. It would be like that NBA player that can catch and shoot but literally do nothing else.

I can't wait to see him in preseason. Running full burst and having the safeties scrambling.

hopefully we can find a way to make hi wok

Benjamin-Funcess-Brown-Ginn-Byrd going into the season would be great. Hope he can work his way into a roster spot.

It doesn't sound like Cotchery is going anywhere based off the recent draft interviews. Few other guys he'll have to beat out as well.

He is incredibly fast. He does a pretty good job tracking and catching the deep ball. USC QBs were not great at throwing deep during his career so he ended up being underutilized.

He'll need to bulk up to survive in the NFL. I think he's exclusively special teams to start out. It is certainly possible that Phroel can develop him into a complete receiver. He's top 10 in his draft class for overall athleticism.

    • Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4
    • Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.    
    • Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
