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.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
