Outside of that absolutely dreadful preseason, I don't really understand why either.  In the limited time he played his rookie season 2014 (back when Avant's bum ass was stealing reps) he shined and looked like a very competent rookie WR... and a complete steal for a UDFA rookie.  His only big knock was body catching and questions about his durability.

Last preseason is really the only time he's struggled.  He balled out all last year... hell, he only had like 1 drop for the entire season IIRC.  He also became more consistent in using his hands to catch passes.

I mean, he's not going to be the next Steve Smith or anything, but I can definitely see him having a solid career... maybe even eventually morphing into a solid #2.  He can still improve a lot despite already being solid.

31 catches for 447 yds and 4 TD's is hardly balling out. He was the 4th most productive WR on the team while playing the most snaps out of all the WRs. Funchess and Cotchery played far fewer snaps and still outproduced him. Sure he didn't have many drops which is great and all but he couldn't get open.

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By Seltzer · Posted

      By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though

      Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.

      That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
