I just said this in another thread but Holyfield is a monster and his dad is/was a legend. He's easily one of my favorite UDFA and it's not from a lack of mesurables (though his 40 time isn't ideal). He's a thumper that could really be a short yardage monster compliment to CMC. Look at this kid's build.

Seems like we always get an UDFA and they seem like they will be great but rarely are. We'll see

nah they never seem like they'll be great. some people here like to hype them up for no reason.

I love him. Wanted him early and in all mocks, had him comin to us in the 4th. Holyfield and Scarlett are tough runners. CAP and Hood better not make the team or Ron can say goodbye to this team real early.

CAP and Hood are tough runners also, particularly Hood. Of course we can probably assume that if CAP were an answer, he'd have secured a place by now, so he's JAG. Perhaps Hood can be viewed in the same way albeit he is still somewhat of a mystery. I am just not rubber-stamping any of them right now. Skill set, including blocking should tell the story.

Well one thing that we can say right now is that Hood is better at catching the ball out of the backfield than Scarlett so I think it's going to be good competition.  Let's hope Hood has fully healed because he was looking pretty good before he got hurt last year. It's still possible they can sign someone before training camp starts because Scarlett may need to go to the Practice Squad. I hope Holyfield makes the team because he definitely seems like someone that can push the pile.

I know people poop on his 40/speed, please watch some videos(not just highlights). He was running away from DBs and LBs that ran in 4.5s. Not saying Holyfield is Emmitt Smith, just for reference. Emmit ran a 4.7 in the 40 at 5 feet 9, 216 pounds. It's rare but some play faster with 15 lbs of uniform/equipment in-game environment. I believe this has a good shot at being herniays best UDFA ever. Its wiiiiide open for #2 RB, he could fill that role.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built.

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie.

      I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....
