UDFA Damiere Byrd - WR - South Carolina

Although he is only 5'9 and 173, Byrd stood out to me today and not just in contrast to Funchess....

Byrd showed greats hands...

But more importantly he showed another gear that no one else on the field showed this morning. This kid has quicks and could be a sleeper. Haven't seen anyone that quick out there in quite a while.

 

The WR spot is pretty full on the roster but it may be worth keeping a player like him around on the PS and see what he becomes.

So is it safe to say he is as fast or faster than Cory Brown and Ginn?

I don't know about fast, but the kid goes from 0-60 quicker.

 

 

Would like to see him return punts.

 

Yes. Yes. Yes!  I know its early... how many WR do you think make the roster this year. The amount of competition we have tells me we can be deep and versatile.

He ran a 4.28 on grass (I know that's been beaten to death).

 

Ginn ran a 4.28

Brown ran a 4.51 at the combine.

 

According to reports, there was a pretty significant tailwind at the South Carolina pro day which probably counteracted the fact that it was on grass.

Long time reader...seldom poster here. Byrd's special team work at USC was on defense. He ran down everyone who would have taken it to the house. So think of him more along the lines of a defensive special teams guy.

    • I'll say 6. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition and will do more to help the defense than anyone. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole there. For all the hype surrounding Sanders and Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
    • 2010 was worse. Not much worse but worse. 
    • Lol since 2017 the Panthers are 47-85,    Also since 2017 the Giants are 40-91-1   Lol
