3 guys you never heard of that could make the team

Here are three guys getting zero air time that have a shot.

 

Former Appalachian State center Parker Collins finds himself on a team that may decide to keep a little more depth at center given the injury history of starter Paradis. Collins spent the NFL offseason playing for the Atlanta Legends of the AAF where he played well enough to earn a training camp invitation. Should Collins not crack the final roster, I feel he could be a shoe in for a practice squad position where he could still be a backup center injury contingency.

Brandon Greene is another player invited to training camp after a solid AAF performance. At Alabama, Greene was an athletic guy that spent time at both guard and offensive line and contributed to two national championships. He is currently listed at 6’5 and 295lbs which puts him squarely in the mix at guard for the Panthers. The Panthers love athletic guards that can pull to the outside for Christian McCaffrey and Cam Newton. Greene could have the athleticism in this regard to earn himself a jersey.

Tight End Ethan Wolf from the Tennessee Volunteers earned a training camp invitation after trying out for the Panthers during their rookie camp earlier this year. I have a soft spot in my heart for players who work their way into an NFL training camp. It speaks to their resolve, something that must be calculated into their chances to make the team. With Greg Olsen once again coming off of a foot injury, the Carolina Panthers know they must keep a pipeline of tight ends. Wolf could become that third string tight end that also contributes on special teams.

Parker is a quality player with a mean streak. I haven't seen his work since he's been in the NFL but he is a mauler in the run game at any level. Pass blocking is likely his deficiency and the reason he has bounced around. Dude can also kick out to guard.

can't see Wolf beating out Manhertz, but anythings possible.  Just good to talk football again.

IDK, if Wolff can block, he'd be in. Manhertz is not a great nor good pass catching TE. He can barely block well and I have a hard time finding reasons why he is on the team tbh. Upgrading our TE3 would be a great thing in the long run. I'm anxious to see how Ian has developed in the offseason.

      this is where the Bryce defense goes off the rails for me.  We all know Bryce isn't a deep ball chunk play QB.  He doesn't have those physical tools and he doesn't play the game w/ that mindset.  It simply is not what he is.  Then you got folks going essentially going, well actually Shaq was a very efficient 3 pt shooter this season.  He shot 50% from behind the arc and Steph Curry was only at 48%.  So yeah, Shaq is a very effective 3 pt shooter.  Don't say he isn't a 3 point shooter.  Meanwhile, Shaq went 1 of 2 on the season and Steph shot 9343924 3s.  Russell Wilson is a deep ball chunk QB.  Baker is. Geno was his comeback season (best in the league that year I think is the correct call).  That's the Canales pass tree. EVERY QB throws deep at some point.  Arguing you can find a good grade when they went deep one week is just that.   No one can argue Bryce plays the game like a young Wilson throwing f you hail marys downfield.   Jake Delhomme fits Canales more than any Carolina Panther QB.  Teddy Bridgewater can grade out efficiently on his deep passes.  That doesn't make him a deep ball chunk QB.  2 totally different convos.    It would be better for everyone IMO if our org accepted what the unicorn was and built a team around that given they invested so much in him.....which is the criticism I started day 1 when they put him in Frank Reich's offense.  He didn't fit that.  He doesn't fit the Canales tree either.    NFL is about fit more than anything and it's what Carolina gets most wrong.  We essentially run offenses we don't have the QB talent for and you can say the same w/ the 3-4 D.  That's the Bryce era.
