“What happened last year shows that I can make this team. It shows that I can make plays for this team,” Byrd said. “Going into camp knowing that and knowing that I don’t have to do anything out of the ordinary for me to make this team, just continue to be who I am. If that was enough to make it last year, it will be enough to open eyes this year.”

I feel like he does have the edge over guys like Austin Duke currently, but that could all change in preseason. Can't wait until Wednesday.

If he couldnt crack the final roster in the past I cant see how he does it this year. We are alot deeper at wr than we have been. Im pretty sure Samuel will make the final roster.

Players can get better and progress. Were you more developed mentally in the 1st grade or the 3rd grade?

He cracked the 53 last year. If he keeps up his current pace, his chances of making the regular 53 are very good

I thought he looked fairly hopeless his rookie season.  Then better last preseason...  by the time he was added to the active roster, he looked like a completely different player with a lot of potential.  Don't feel like looking up the stats, but from memory, he looked really explosive on returns and had a long reception in his brief regular season appearances last season...  I'm looking forward to see what he does this preseason.

I've been thinking all along that he wouldn't make it. Bersin would be him. I'm coming around to thinking he will make it. We need that small speedy receiver. Especially if Samuel will be out for a period of time. Bersin does run clean routes and catches damn near every pass, he just isn't too much different than KB or Funch. Now that Shepard is here, the need for Bersin isn't really there anymore.

It may be just me but Byrd saying he doesn't have to do anything out of the ordinary to make the team implies a sense of resting on his laurels. Even if that wasn't his intention, he's no lock to make the final 53 when four receiver spots are all but taken already.

Yeah, I don't see him making it unless we succumb to injuries. Byrd doesn't have it.

Richardson going to find a way to get Bersin on the team since he's no longer PS eligible, but I really hope Byrd takes his spot regardless.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
