This guy hanging out in front of the stadium made the news.


Recommended Posts

I just read this on Yahoo

 

Harold was photographed Monday outside Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers, wearing his Missouri uniform and a sign reading: “Will pass rush for hot wings. I slipped through the cracks.”

This is not the first time Harold has tried this strategy. He walked on at Missouri after staking out the parking lot outside their athletic complex, hoping for a shot at a tryout. Not only did he make the team, but he became a starter and was named a team captain by his senior year.

“I just want a shot,” he said to Fox 46’s Will Kunkel. “It takes a lot of humility to do something like this.”

Cool story, but he had 47 tackles, 10 TFLs, and 4.5 sacks in his entire college career at 6-2, 255. He's almost certainly simply not an NFL caliber talent.

Still couldn't hurt to see what he can do.. can you imagine if sam mills never got a shot?

Great point. Here's a write-up about a similarly undersized DE that had a great NFL career:

former American football linebacker. He played college football for Kent State University and was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2002. A five-time Pro Bowl selection who won two Super Bowls with the Steelers: XL and XLIII and became the Steelers all-time sack leader.  

A: Who is James Harrison, Jr.

    • I think we pick it up and then someone else ends up emerging as the QB next year and we end up cutting him in year 5 and eating it.  That would be the most on brand thing to happen.
    • Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.
