Carolina Panthers OTA Notes and Photos

I like that look for Stephen Hill.  The mouth guard makes him look like a fierce and formidable competitor.   Granted it's just a couple of photos, but he looks focused.  Also, sounds like he wants to catch some of that J-No mojo.  (Last year it was always J-No who was last off the field, IIRC, and look at the season he had!)

- Brenton Bersin continues to make play after play after play across the middle. He may have been the best receiver on the field today. Haters, continue hating. 

It's hard to find anything not to like about this guy, I just wish he was a little more talented. I'd be very surprised if he weren't the odd man out this year. I wish him a long and prosperous career in the arena league.

You really can't go wrong rooting for any of the WRs competing for a spot this year. Everyone is all in and locked in. Everyone put in extra work this offseason and everyone is vying to take a big step. So many good stories too. It's gonna feel nearly impossible to cut down this group.

This is the effect of Gettleman and the coaching staff turning their eye to the WR talent pool since Kelvin was drafted in 2014. Now we're overflowing. I kinda expect us to be in the same situation with CBs in a couple of years.

Interesting that we had Coleman at SS, he excelled last year at FS for us 

WR is getting interesting 

The only locks I see are KB, Funch, and Ginn- I truly think the rest is wide open with Philly having an edge over the other guys.

The WR and CB battle is going to be truly epic this year.  I can't wait to see how that unfolds, because we actually have quite a few talented guys, despite what a lot of people think.

The battle for RT will also be pretty good.  It's smart of them to split time like that, for right now.  When the pads go on, we'll see who rises fair and square, as they say.

    • Jalen Coker? Played at Holy Cross? Is there another Jalen Coker? I'm not going to waste any more time on an UDFA, but the very first scouting report I went to confirms  what I saw on tape: Must prove he can get off the line against NFL size and strength. Monotonous route speed is unlikely to tilt pro coverage. Displays small gear-down when stemming the route. Needs to clean up the wasted motion getting into his breaks. It's not his biggest strength, it's literally his biggest weakness. 
    • Per NFL Website Jalen Coker Bio 2020-21: Tied for the team lead with 72 receiving yards (4 receptions, 18.0 per, TD). Played in 3 games with 2 starts in the team's spring season. School did not play in the fall due to COVID-19 concerns. 2021: Second-team All-Patriot League. Led the team with 51 receptions, 691 receiving yards (13.5 per, 4 TDs). Started all 13 games. 2022: First-team All-Patriot League. Led the team with 50 receptions, 912 receiving yards (18.2 per), 11 TDs. Played in 12 games with 11 starts.  2023: First-team Associated Press FCS All-American. First-team All-Patriot League. Finalist for the Walter Payton Award (top player in the FCS). Led the FCS with 15 receiving TDs (59 receptions for 1,040 yards, 17.6 per). Started all 11 games (2-3-1.5 rushing; 11-47-4.3 PR). Set school record with 31 career receiving TDs, 2,715 receiving yards Overview The evaluation for Coker boils down to balancing his pro-caliber size and ball skills against his level of competition and potential lack of NFL quickness and speed. His focus, ball-tracking and timing give him distinct advantages that other receivers lack, and his catch radius and hand strength helped him make mincemeat of Ivy League coverages near the goal line. Coker's deep speed appears to be average, so he will need to refine his route running to become better equipped to beat NFL defenders in space and open up workable windows for his quarterback. Coker is talented and productive, but the testing numbers will be huge for his draft slotting and chances in the league. Strengths Instinctive hand fighting in his release and at top of the route. Possesses robust ball skills across the board to win downfield. Fade monster with size, adjustments and sticky hands to dominate. Works back to the throw and is keenly aware of the sticks. Leverage and footwork for crisp cut-and-flatten on routes underneath. Weaknesses Must prove he can get off the line against NFL size and strength. Monotonous route speed is unlikely to tilt pro coverage. Displays small gear-down when stemming the route. Needs to clean up the wasted motion getting into his breaks. Below-average quickness with his run after catch.
