Decent article I came across. Shows Bradberry's point of view of his role on the team what expectations he has set for himself. I believe he's a true hard worker, and I think he'll come to shape possibly by mid-season. He's got the physical traits, it just comes down to practicing and learning your role in the defense. Read if you must.

Bradberry says he's a different person with a different attitude.

"They've put a lot of weight on my shoulders," said Bradberry, whose team completed a three-day minicamp on Thursday. "There's a lot of veteran guys looking at me to make sure I get all the plays right when I get in the game."

...

"The key thing for me is to stay in the playbook and stay with the game plan," Bradberry said. "I'm trying to come out and show that I'm a starter every day."

Seems to be a problem with the link, at least for me

So, I'm guessing, he just chose 24 because he was kinda hedging his bet (on himself that he'd play up to that kind of high level) and didn't want to see the other two sporting the number. 

I get that he's quiet and all, but it'd be nice if he let just a little bit of swag rub off on him...from somewhere. The greats are supremely confident.

He picked the number because he respects those that wore it, Champ, Revis, Norman et al.

Hes not making a statement or betting on anything, he's just paying homage.

I could care less about swag or personality, as long as he gets along with his teammates and communicates well on the field. Luke doesn't exactly have a lot of "swag", but he just makes plays game in and game out. Far too often, swag gets confused with leadership or talent.

Fug swag. Make plays dammit.

Has yet to play a down in an NFL game, but lacks swag...

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
