Cameron Artis-Payne Update

[Jeremy Igo]

Cameron Artis-Payne is getting more and more reps as the days go by in Panthers training camp. At this rate, he could conceivably take over the #2 running back position by the end of the preseason. 

Yesterday during press conferences, Mike Tolbert mentioned how patient Artis-Payne was in his running. Today, Cameron showed that he can be elusive as well. 

During team drills, linebacker Adarius Glanton appeared to have the upper hand in stopping Artis-Payne. 

 

But Glanton was unable to wrap-up... 

... allowing the running back to gain several more yards before eventually being stopped. 

Tackling the runner is not really allowed in training camp (although it does happen sometimes). But during fully padded team drills, defensive players to wrap up the running backs and prevent them from gaining more yards. 

Cameron Artis-Payne has only improved since OTA practices in June. It makes you wonder, just how high is his ceiling? Stay tuned...

Loved him at Auburn. Him and Fozzy are going to be critical to the Panthers rushing success. Really hope Stew has a healthy season.

Any comment I make comes with 100% full-blown Auburn bias.

But I've watched the kid for 2 years now... kid is a goddam beast and a workhorse.

Dude tore up SEC defenses all year. I really am excited to see him against other NFC South foes.

@Jeremy Igo when you post these with the link to the full article is there more at the article? I'm asking because some people may just take what's in the thread as the full article. I know I could spend less time finding out by clicking on it but I'm asking so others can see the answer.

How can anyone get better at tackling, if its banned? 

 

I wonder how his biltz pickup/blocking is looking?

Did NOT see that coming...

You know, I didn't like the pick because I was still wanting more competition (and speed) at WR, and I've been pretty indifferent to this point about him...  But, the more I hear, see, and read about him, I see some eerie similarities to one Stephen Davis.

 

He's not a burner, but is elusive, strong, patient, and is hard to bring down.

I know it's early and comparisons are hard to come by but who does he remind you of most that's currently playing in the league to any one who has seen him I person?

He reminds me of Deangelo... :)
