Brendan Mahon  - Penn St - 6'4 320

I am going to keep an eye on this kid throughout camp. Panthers desperately need depth along the o-line and this guy had success at left guard and also right tackle for a legit football program. Panthers paid him the higher end of the UDFA cash, so they apparently think there may be something as well.

He played LT in 2016 as well.  I watched some tape and he looked good, but he did give up a sack early.  Not a T, but I see G who can backup T in a jam- glad you started this thread.

And if he makes the team, he will have beat out 23 other Guards.  Talk about throwing numbers at a problem..

I sincerely believe, by the way, that Rivera wants Moton at  Left Tackle.  He can bench Matty Nice if he has a quality backup.  Norwell II would certainly be a gift, and that is what they are looking for.

I read he is a better run blocker than pass blocker.  One of the guys opening up holes for barkley. 

Gotta admit tho Norwell spoiled me, 6'6  monster with a mean streak. I hope this guy replace him but that is still big shoes to fill.

Yeah, Norwell was such a wonderful story and great player.

Sadly, Penn State's line was trashed by many going into the draft for their lack of interior blocking resulting in Barkley trying to push every play to the outside.

Maybe he'll turn out?  Man, that would be nice.  Were I him, I'd call up Norwell and see what I had to do to try to match his success.

Norwell wasn't good at all as far as strength and speed.

 

If there was a combine drill for mean though....

Your "Norwell Smash" pictures throughout the years have been some of my favorites.  The rage he had on the field was truly special.

Based off last year, we probably need more “better run blocker” guys.

Idk what your talking about Norwell displayed tremendous strength maintaining bull rush from premiere DTs and showed his speed in pulling plays.

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
