Elijah Hood

My kids went to Charlotte Catholic HS when Elijah was there. A great back, obviously, but also a great person. Would love to see him get a chance with the Panthers.

The NFL seems to be looking for RBs with more diverse skills sets (and speed) so really not sure he will ever get a real shot.  Just not enough speed.  Good ole school power back but those types just aren't around much anymore.

If he didn’t play for the tar heels you wouldn’t even be mentioning him rn. We just signed CJ why tf would we sign another back. Need to cut fozzy too not add more guys.

updated depth chart:

1. Cj

2. Cmc

3. Cap

4. Armah

I’m surprised Hood never got any burn last season

He had his moments in college but seemed to be hurt alot. And as others have mentioned, there are plenty of successful college backs who wash out in the pros.

I don't really see the need to bring him in. He's young, I will give him that but he doesn't have any specific skill set that makes him more valuable than plenty of other free agents or UDFA's. We seem pretty set at RB with the recent addition. It would be a waste of time, IMO.

That could change if injuries pile up in training camp, but let's hope that doesn't happen.

I’ll pat myself on the back with this one.   I was out with Dre Bly last night and we talked about it guess he knew.

What do you think about bringing him home and competing with CAP and Fozzy for a spot?   He got cut by the Raiders but never really got a chance.  He left school earlier than he should have coming off injury and bad season bc his fiancée convinced him to (they are no longer together).  His sophomore year at Carolina he put up 1463 yards, 6.7 yards a carry, 17 TD.   I’m a UNC fan but he was either not utilized correctly his junior year or injured/asthma issue.    I think he’s worth a flyer at least as a camp body. 

Pie for you, sir

Why do some of these guys talk about not bringing him and we need to cut people.  It's called training camp. We need bodies and to create competition. Hell we have 32 guards, 16 WR's, and 20 cornerbacks.  But let's just grind our 3 backs to the ground in training camp.  Hint. We are not cutting down to 53 for another 4 months.

Grats to OP. He nailed this one.
