Panther's sign last years Rimington Award winner to the Practice Squad

[tiger7_88]

A player I am very, very familiar with.

Former Auburn All-American Reese Dismukes has joined the practice squad of the Carolina Panthers. The NFL team announced on Tuesday afternoon that it had signed Dismukes for its practice squad.

To make room for Dismukes, Carolina released center Eric Kush from the practice squad. Kush played in three games for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013.

Dismukes was a Parade All-American for Spanish Fort's 2010 AHSAA Class 5A championship team. A four-year starter at Auburn, Dismukes concluded his collegiate career by being recognized as a consensus All-American and winning the 2014 Rimington Trophy, which is presented annually to the nation's finest center.

 

1. He's intimately familiar with read-option and pulling schemes in the run game (which are used as part of the base-offense at Auburn) and snapping from the shot-gun.

2. Not a huge center (very much the size of Kalill actually) and not a "mauler" either... more of a "technician" type. NEEDS to get stronger to have any future in the NFL.  I've seen him listed as a guard on some sites, but dude just ain't strong enough or big enough to play guard in the NFL in my opinion.

3. Four year starter in the SEC though, and you can't shake a stick at that.

Not a bad kid to have on the PS and see what he's got IMO.

I'm surprised he wasn't on a roster, much less practice squad. I know he's undersized but he's a pretty good football player.

[RJK]

Nice, i like athletic centers over bruisers. especially as much as Kalil pulls

[Mr. Scot]

I thought we had an open spot on the PS.

Why'd we need to cut someone?

After Simonson was called up to the 53, we added another TE to the PS

[Mr. Scot]

In other good news, the Falcons have re-signed Charles Godfrey.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Possible Kalil replacement? Nice.

[mc52beast]

I thought they gave an award out to the person who shaved the best...

I was the same as you until yesterday. They kinda ninja'd Foulcalt back to the PS after they brought Bersin up. I was sitting here thinking that Gettleman hadn't re-signed him.

[Carolina Cajun]

Sounds good, but can he protect a Twinkie?

Oh, I knew about Foucault. I didn't know about Askew.
