I wanted that Utah DT so I guess this’ll have to do 

This dude is better than Fotu and I am a fan of Fotu!

Bravvion Roy on playing with Derrick Brown: "There's gonna be some problems for some people."

THIS! Love to hear this. Never imagined I would be this excited about the Defense this soon.

Seems like the only reason why he wasn't drafted high was because he has short arms and small hands. Other than that he's explosive with great strength. This is a fantastic value pick and you can never have enough space eaters.

Maybe more significant were the facts that he wasn't invited to the combine, and then his Pro Day was cancelled -- so thathe had no showcase for his skills, esp. his amazing speed in the 40 (for his position and size), which would've caught the eye of all scouts.

In this case, Rhule's inside knowledge of him and his strengths were a benefit to the Panthers.

Is it me or is it that Bravvion Roy, a 330+ dude can move. Watching his game, he looks pretty quick off the snap and can move for a big man!

This is from Newton - another mistake?  Jeez that cant be right...

4.49 40 at 330 lbs is pretty good huh

Round 6, No. 184 overall: Bravvion Roy, DT, Baylor

 

My take: Coach Matt Rhule knows this kid well. Roy helped Rhule turn around the Baylor program and now both are trying to do the same at Carolina. Roy is more of a project, a big body who will back up starting tackles Kawann Short and first-round pick Derrick Brown. He's not much in terms of a pass-rusher, but he eats up blocks inside. And he's pretty fast for a 6-foot-1, 332-pound man. He was clocked at 4.49 seconds in the 40 at a spring workout in 2019. He's part of a complete defensive overhaul in this draft with now all six picks going to that side.

Lol that is a typo, he runs a 4.9.

 

A FREAKIN 4.9 AS 332lb DUDE!!! Holy poo that is a lot of mass moving at a sub-5 time

Definitely can see Rhule thought we needed more beef and coverage.
