Hometown kid. I hope he makes it.

I was just looking into him and saw that he ran a 4.79 40 with a sub-30" vertical at his pro day. Was he hurt or something? The guy had over 3000 career receiving yards at VT. That seems impossible if he's truly that athletically limited.

I just read that he had Sports Hernia, didn't play in VT's Bowl game or participate in the NFL Combine (not sure if he got an invite). He also had surgery to repair the injury. Again I don't know the sequence of events here or have any idea of what his 40 time was prior to his sports hernia injury...

Thanks. Makes sense. Putting up those kind of stats in a P5 conference and then posting those workout numbers just didn't add up.

The guy is a stud. I hope to see some of that XFL success translate over to the NFL. I love the fact that we are giving a hometown kid a shot! If they have talent there is nothing wrong with a little home cooking, I mean Brad Hoover was a huge home hit!

The Panthers are signing former XFL star receiver Cam Phillips, reuniting him with backup quarterback P.J. Walker, a league source told ESPN's Dianna Russini. The two were teammates for the Houston Roughnecks. Phillips led the league with 455 yards receiving in five games. He had nine touchdowns. He will add depth to a receiver corps somewhat depleted by injuries. Omar Bayless had successful arthroscopic knee surgery on Tuesday.

Panthers signed WR Cam Phillips, formerly of the XFL's Houston Roughnecks.

Phillips was arguably the XFL's unofficial runner-up MVP behind Panthers QB P.J. Walker, who he'll now reunite with in Carolina. The 24-year-old wideout finished with league-highs in catches (31), receiving yards (455), and receiving scores (9) under coach June Jones and the Roughnecks' high-flying progressive scheme. He'll compete as a reserve out of camp.

    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
    • Yeah your right the owner was copping hand shandies while all this was going down 
    • I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
