Panthers showing heavy interest in small school CB

Recommended Posts

Unable to participate in the Georgia State pro-day the day after the combine due to a minor hamstring injury, Chandon Sullivan took the field today for ten teams.

The Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs were just a few of the teams on hand today.

Sullivan, who still has some tightness in his hamstring, ran the forty in times which ranged from 4.48s to 4.51s.  That’s a marked improvement from his combine time of 4.60s.  He timed 7s in the 3 cone, touched 40 inches in the vertical jump (40.5 inches at the combine) and reached 11-feet-2-inches in the broad jump, tying his mark from Indianapolis.

Sullivan was then put through positional drills by the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles.  The senior entered the season without being graded by NFL scouts but now stands as a solid last day pick.  He’s drawing heavy interest from the Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Rams.

Draft Projection

Round 7/PFA

Bottom Line

Sullivan has decent size and has been a consistent contributor since his freshman season, but his average instincts and inability to stay in phase prevents him from making more plays on the ball. Sullivan isn't overly fast or physical and may need to play well at the Senior Bowl to help him prove he's an NFL-caliber talent.

 "Stands as a solid last day pick". What are the odds of last day picks becoming all-pro or at least starters? Very small, that should say enough for this thread.  I'm rooting for him and hope he does well.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
