As expected the Panthers signed Duke tight end Braxton Deaver, a tryout player at this weekend's rookie camp, according to a tweet from his college strength coach. Coach Ron Rivera said on Saturday that Deaver was a player the Panthers would have to consider.

Per source, tryout OT Jordan Rigsbee has indeed signed w/Panthers.

Oh! I predicted this.  In looking at the stuff that was online about him, three things stood out.

1) Leadership (team captain) and you can really see his leadership in one of the FX videos online about him

2) Versatile - can play multiple positions on the line (tackle & guard)

3) It doesn't hurt that he's from Cal (Ron's alma mater).... but also he probably got more attention than he might otherwise have because of Goff.  Some of Goff's success makes his Oline look good.

Rigsbee looked dreadful at tackle in rookie camp. Abused in drills. Let's hope he is playing guard.

Trying to spin this in a positive way, Norwell sucked in drills too--but he was at G. 

Realistically, even in the picture here, his technique is questionable.

Ah, thanks.  Sorry to hear that.  It's OT where we're really shaky on depth, unless G'man et al know something we don't about Foucault, Hawkins or Yankey.

I'm not sure I want any of Cal's OL from the past year on our team. They almost got Goff killed last year

Most places call him a natural guard that had to play T out of necessity.  Here is what a Cal blog said---

Jordan Rigsbee: Solid offensive linemen are hard to come by in the draft, and Rigsbee fits the bill. He's a solid offensive guard who has had to play out of position at multiple times at Cal, but he will get a chance to play at his natural spot this season if all goes according to plan. He's a mauling offensive guard who likes to put people onto the ground. Rigsbee is going to be highly sought after with a successful campaign.

Walter Football (hate to quote Walter, but here goes):

Jordan Rigsbee, G, California
Height: 6-4. Weight: 300.
Projected 40 Time: 5.21.
Projected Round (2016): 5-7.
4/26/16: Rigsbee was okay for California despite having some issues in pass protection on occasion. He should get stronger for the NFL. Rigsbee had some issues with UCLA nose tackle Kenny Clark. Rigsbee didn't work out at the combine.

8/15/15: Rigsbee was a reliable blocker in 2014 and did a good job of helping to create a clean pocket for Jonathan Goff. Rigsbee broke into the lineup in 2012 as a redshirt freshman. He has played well at left guard the past couple of seasons. For the NFL, Rigsbee looks better as a zone blocker, but he could add weight for a man scheme.
 
CBS SPORTS
On tape, Rigsby looks shorter and stockier than his listed size. His stout frame and tenacity is well-suited to the interior, where the battles are won and lost with leverage and power. Rigsby plays with heavy hands, jolting defenders with his initial punch and shoving them off the line when run blocking. He plays with a nasty disposition, scrapping through the whistle's echo.
