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.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Did not expect this from national media. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/10-best-nfl-defenses-2026-texans-seahawks-broncos 10. Carolina Panthers   Key additions: OLB Jaelan Phillips (FA), LB Devin Lloyd (FA), DT Lee Hunter (draft) Key losses: DT A’Shawn Robinson (FA) Don’t be surprised to see the Panthers, who ranked 15th in points allowed and 16th in yards given up last season, make the leap into the top-10 conversation in 2026.  They added two of the marquee defensive free agents in edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd. Cornerback Jaycee Horn is coming off back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons. Carolina lost starting defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson in free agency but essentially replaced him with second-round pick Lee Hunter, who had 10.5 tackles for loss at Texas Tech last season.  Ejiro Evero, one of the NFL’s most respected defensive coordinators, has plenty of talent to work with.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      unless you have a bonafide superstar at Qb you bring in competition every year until you do & or at the very least you want a legitimate plan B in case of an injury .the problem in Carolina is they know Bryce ayoung most likely could not actually win a real legitimate NFL Qb competition right now & if & when he did not win that aforesaid Qb competition it would not only be a major distraction but a setback to his overall development.& moreover once the fans realized they had a much better Qb on the roster it would be alot of public pressure to start the better Qb  ...just saying
