If confirmed, the PSU strength and conditioning program has to be one of the tops in the nation. YGM reportedly hit high 4.5 to low 4.6 range last year pushing 270 lbs. Parsons in the low 4.4s. Oweh at 256 lbs running 4.38 is unreal.

SC's Horn is the other notable time in there. I've seen him as high as CB1 for some people but that time might lock him in the top 15-20 at this point.

I played FCS college football back in the day (80s). DBs are now as big as the TEs were then.  I was a 6-2, 225 lb. TE and I ran a respectable  4.8 40--I used to brag about that--a good time for my size. I never thought I was going to the NFL, but 6 or 7 of my teammates did.  A DB minded their manners and never reached 200 lbs or much taller than 5'10".  An average lineman was 270-275 lbs,  although we did have a T that was 6-8, 328 lbs- he sucked (wore a size 9 helmet--who does that?).  Our RBs, one of which transferred from Georgia because a Freshman named Hershel Walker took his job, ran a 4.5-4.6 and was considered fast.  The athletes today are freaks.

This is incredible.  a 250lb man does not run a 4.38.  He should be arrested.

There are a lot of suspiciously fast times coming out of these things. I suspected there would be with no Combine to level the field.

As far as speed goes, S&C programs can certainly help, but for the most part it's up to mom and dad. There's a reason for the old adage "you can't coach speed".

Yea was hoping for Newsome in the second and I don't think he lasts that long. 

Newsome or an OT in the second though would be incredible, particularly if we are able to get the QB we want at 8

Yep. Outside of QB, LT and CB are our two big "premium position" roster holes.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
