Brown, Boykin, Byrd?

[Jeremy Igo]

Casual fans at Panthers training camp likely were excited to see wide receivers Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess on Sunday afternoon. As it turns out, three lesser known receivers ended up stealing the show. 

Mike Brown, Jarrett Boykin, and rookie Damiere Byrd all had strong showings at Sunday's practice. 

Byrd could be this year's Corey Brown. Much like Brown last season, Byrd keeps making plays no matter what unit he is playing with. Today was no exception. Damiere hauled in multiple nice catches and even elevated to backup punt returner. Ted Ginn Jr has even taken the speedy Byrd under his wing. (terrible pun)

Mike Brown has been mostly absent this entire offseason. Today, however, he hauled in multiple long passes for large gains from Derek Anderson and Joe Webb. Brown is on the bubble with the Panthers, it is difficult to see where on the depth chart he fits in. A few more practices like today, however, and it may become less difficult. 

Jarrett Boykin provided one of the most exciting plays of the day, catching a pass from Derek Anderson in stride under heavy pressure from corner Carrington Byndom and behind safety Robert Lester. 

Cam Newton was so impressed with the Boykin effort he made sure to celebrate with him. 

Brown, Boykin and Byrd. Three names to remember as Panthers training camp continues on.

Keep them all and revolutionize NFL offense and play 10 WRs on offense. 

I call it the Reverse Fat Alice plan

Final cuts at WR are going to be really tough...it seems that no matter what, we're going to have to cut a very solid player or two

Damiere hauled in multiple nice catches and even elevated to backup punt returner. 

If he keeps catching passes and punts, and can break one once in a while, he may be a keeper, and if so, that's more impressive this year than last. A lot more talent at WR now.

I think After KB, Funchess, Ginn, Brown, and BB it is between Boykin and Byrd. I do believe we carry 6 this year. I don't see Cotch making it.

Cotchery is definitely making the team.  The coaches love him and he is great for helping the young guys along.

Not saying anyone in particular, but some a-holes wanted to write all these guys off. Nothing is a given yet, and it's still early still to be giving anyone not named Benjamin and Funchess a pass.

I know a lot of people on here are pro Bersin, but how can we keep Bersin on the roster when you've got guys like Byrd and Boykin who have such potential? We already know what you're getting with Bersin.

Boykin / Byrd (I want to see if he can take a hit.)

Benji/Funch/Ginn/Brown are the locks. I think the last two spots are currently owned by Cotch and Bersin. At the end of the day, I think those are who end up being the 6 on the 53 man roster.

Going to be interesting to see which receivers get let go first.  The Buffalo game will be fun to watch for sure.  For some reason, I have this feeling that Cam will have the best season of his career this year and to do that he will need 2 of these WR's to step up.  Great pics as usual Jeremy.

At least our problem is having too many WRs instead of not enough

[Snake]

Things will pan out when the real bullets fly. Even Armanti Edwards looked good at Practice.

is it just me or is Cam getting bigger?  Not so much upper body but his legs are reddiculous!  DA can't keep his eyes off 'em.

[DeeJay]

Fap worthy I say yes
