Panthers sign Kiante Anderson, DE from ECU

Recommended Posts

I don't know anything about him but, we've just signed defensive end Kiante Anderson, an undrafted rookie out of East Carolina, waiving defensive end Karter Schult (I didn't know him either). Kiante Anderson is a 6-foot-3, 260-pounder, spent most of training camp with the Buccaneers before being waived. The North Carolina native had 4.5 sacks and forced two fumbles at ECU last season. I don't know if he's just a camp body or competition for DE's or maybe provide some good depth. Draft Scout has his 40 time at 4.8...

What yall think...

Are we gonna sign everyone who played at collegiate level and grew up in the Carolinas?

this is a pretty common thing because local scouts for teams can usually scout local talent easier.

Ecu was absolutely terrible last season. They won 3 games. Every unit sucked. I’m surprised anyone on that team is getting a look.

As an ECU fan, they were pretty awful, especially the defense. They were last in just about every defensive category. Plus, Kiante was the guy that got most of the sacks.

He was a walk-on that ended up earning a scholarship through sheer determination and hard work.  One of the few bright spots on the roster the past couple seasons, especially on defense.

He's a good college DE, by any measure.  Big, quick, strong, and has a high football IQ.  Doesn't do stupid things.  

I don't expect him to make the team... but I would never count Kiante out, honestly.

Trevon Brown is going to be one of the better WR's in the next NFL draft.  No matter how badly we may suck, we keep turning out NFL wide receivers.  He is a legit NFL deep threat WR with size and wins the 50/50 balls every time.

6'2" 215lbs - Had 1,069 receiving yards and 7 TD's last season.  He is the only guy that teams bracket or double, and he still produces.

From last year, a few highlight games:

@ West Virginia (103 yards, 1 TD)

Virginia Tech (107 yards, 1 TD)

@ Houston (141 yards, 2 TD)

Cincinnati (270 yards, 2 TD)

ECU football is a joke, and it’s a toss up between them and UNC-Charlotte as the worst program in the state - and I would probably lean towards EZU since their entire athletic program is being audited for improper use of funds. 

Happy for the kid that he will get to live out his dream for about 2 weeks but if he makes the team then we are a lot worse off than I thought.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F  
    • You gonna make me post Stank before every game?  I kid, I kid.
