Does that mean he can participate in all the OTAs? 

Possible, but I would say odds are against him. OTAs will be anywhere between end of May to Mid June and he hasn't been running on his leg in a couple months. He'll need to get his endurance nad strength back and I doubt he'll be fully cleared within just 2 months, but hopefully he'll recover quick.

To add to this. He's running but that doesn't mean he can do cuts, jukes, stopstarts, and other running drills that put pressure on his ankles. Running just means treadmill or strait line the other parts of being a receiver will be a while. So I am positive he won't do much at otas

Well said. 

I would expect him to be brought along slowly.  In shape by training camp would be a good goal.  Working on cuts and routes can come later.

I have a feeling we are going to see a limited amount of Samuel this year. I think he will really be in shape and able to play fast and make all the cuts he needs towards to end of training camp; but with Wright and Byrd here they will get the snaps to start the season with Samuel maybe coming in more mid/late season. I also think year 3 is going to be his big year, full OTA and camp + less competition at the slot spot. 

 

Hopefully I am wrong and he balls out this year; I think this kids got all the potential and drive to be great.

    • I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.
    • Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
    • The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
