James Bradberry vs Keyarris Garrett Rookie Camp

One of the more interesting matchups of Carolina Panthers rookie camp was corner James Bradberry vs receiver Keyarris Garrett. 

Second round pick vs UDFA. 

Here is a three frame look from one play in particular I found interesting.

Garrett breaks free on a comeback route. Bradberry quickly closes in and is in Garrett's hip pocket. Notice Bradberry's hand on the football and the football only. This really is a solid play by Bradberry.

However, Garrett is able to maintain control of the ball and bring it into his body. Strong hands this kid has. Might have to do with why he led the nation in receiving last year.

When it was over Garrett still had the ball in hand as he checked out his leg that may have been nicked on the play (he was fine). 

Bradberry had a look on his face that says he knows it was a good play on his part, just happened to be a better receiving play.

A decent play by a second round pick, but an even more impressive play for the undrafted free agent with something to prove. 

Read into this what you will.

Nice.

I know it's WAY early, but I'm reading into it that our excitement about Garrett as a "free draft pick" (Ricky Proehl's words) may not be unfounded.  This guy may well be one of the steals of the draft.  Really intense WR battle ahead in camp.

And Bradberry looks like he's got promise as well.

Funchess was on the sidelines yesterday just hanging out and asked the same question. 

Can't even imagine what it's like being on the practice field with these guys let alone a game field. Very envious of you Mr. Igo and thank you for the coverage you bring us Huddlers.

So, meaning that Gman did it once again? Should I go buy my 24 jersey?

I know you are being a bit facetious but I'd hold off on that. non-zero chance Teddy Williams doesn't make the squad and Bradberry might take 21 when he's gone.

I'm confused on why Garrett didn't get drafted. He seems like a stud. 

Just about everyone is miffed about why Garrett wasn't drafted.

At this point, I am hoping that people continue to ask that question for at least the next few years, if not his whole career. That would be quite the feather in Gettleman's cap.

I'm so psyched about Garrett 

Here's how I see WR unfolding:

KB, Funch, Ginn, Brown 

Those 4 are locks, thinking we keep 6 WRs 

Bersin, Garrett, Byrd, Hill, and Norwood are all competing for those two spots 

My best guess is: Byrd goes back to practice squad, Bersin gets cut (nothing against Bersin), and Hill, Garrett and Norwood have a blood bath battle for the last two roster spots

Don't think we take the chance of losing Garrett by putting him on PS and I think one of Norwood or Hill will shine during camp (Panthers have invested in both players and I don't suspect us wanting to lose one) 

 

Either way you slice it or dice it, this could be the best WR corps the Panthers have EVER had.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By GoobyPls · Posted

      I agree with OP notion, QBs always get credited for game winning drives even if they do minimal. Just last night Caleb got credited for a GE drive when they basically ran the ball the whole drive and only had to go 36 yards.   And there are drives where Bryce could of had a game winning drive if not for a Legette drop vs Philly or a Chubba fumble vs Tampa

      You are actually, genuinely comparing Bryce to Jimmy fuging Pickles? Jimmy accounted for 3 touchdowns in his 10 starts in 2010. In Bryce’s 10 games post benching last year, he accounted for 20 touchdowns. Jimmy threw three touchdowns in 2010. Three. Bryce has thrown 10 touchdowns through 6 games. He is currently on track to throw for 3300 yards, 28 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Wtf are we even talking about anymore. I mean seriously

      Tepper? The guy that directs the coaches towards goals that he set for them… that guy. He is the one.    I don’t think he ever was going to be expelled from class, they had him come in for garbage time maybe the 2nd week he was benched.  I will say this. People said he wasn’t under pressure the last part of the year when he did better, but he was fighting for his career and that’s pressure. And he saved his career too. I don’t reject him for those kinds of things I reject him for the physical things. I have always brought it down to he has slim margin for error and has to be perfect. People with the tool set have a little fatter margin for error. Why make it harder on yourself? Got nothing to do with hating him.  I am no statistician but game that margin thing out a lot and see how that works.
