Stephen Hill and Corey Brown Impress at OTAs

[Jeremy Igo]

In the first open media OTA session of 2015 my main objective was to get a real glimpse of how the Carolina Panthers receiving corps were shaping up. With Kelvin Benjamin out with injury and rookie Devin Funchess out of town, there was a real opportunity to see which players would step up and make a case for themselves as that second or third option. 

Those two receivers today were Corey Brown and Stephen Hill.

Imagine if Cotchery and Ginn are the WORST receivers on our depth chart. It looks like it's shaping up to be a possibility. I'm pretty excited about this season....

I'm telling everyone right now. Philly will be our #3 WR this season. I've been saying this for the past couple months, after watching tape from last season. Not saying it'll happen, but don't be surprised if he explodes like Victor Cruz did. As much as people here want to call him a JAG (top dawg...), he is a legitimate threat and I think he'll be a longterm WR for us. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he pushes Funchess for the second most snaps at wideout, depending on Funchess' development. I don't anticipate that but it would not surprise me at all. Working on getting video clips set up and I'll post a breakdown hopefully this weekend.

Can you imagine the the impact on this team if Brown improves, and Hill finally comes into his own. No wonder Cam seems to be so enthusiastic.  If all this comes to fruition and KB keeps his production on an upward trajectory, and Funchess has a Benjiman type rookie season. The sky will be the limit for this offense. IS IT SEPTEMBER YET?

Man that's great stuff Igo. The WR group was the one unit on the team I wanted to see most as the battles for each spot (or even how many spots) will be so tight. With the presumed top 2 out of the mix temporarily, the other guys get a chance to shine. And while the possible "arrival" of the new Stephen Hill could be a game changer for this team...the noted infectious enthusiasm of Cam Newton is what makes me think this offense and to some extent this team...is going to have a special year.

 

Many fans are expressing their excitement for this team this year...but I think the players know something special is afoot as well.

Our offense is like the best kept secret in the nfl lol probably the only team in history to be able to field 5 6'4 plus receiving threats.. #igenuinelylovegettleman

The biggest take away from this....our DB's getting toasted.  But it's early, very early, so I'm sure they'll be up to speed in no time.

I think Tillman and Bene were both out today. FWIW.

​Without Benwikere and Tillman. I wouldn't be too concerned yet.

​That was a ball thrown high, he batted it down to himself and made the grab.
