Here comes all the creative negativity about this thread.

I'm not holding my breathe. Rivera himself said they are going to take a look at Gaulden at nickel. That's seems strange for a solid starter prospect at safety.

If he flashed, they must be referring to a locker room incident because he has been bad.

This seems like more optimism than reality at this point. If he can contribute anywhere, that would be a positive at this point with what he has shown.

we have seen this story before...the fans scream that the Panthers have a glaring weakness. the Panthers front office ignores it. the season comes that weakness is shown to be a big fuging problem. the panther front office acts shocked like they had no idea it was an issue. in the offseason, they draft 3 players at that position while allowing another position to become next years weakness.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
