one day...the Panthers will just draft or bring in a guy that actually returns punts.  Sounds crazy.  But one day.  Maybe a hundred years from now.  They will figure that out. 

Hell, we burned a 6th on a long snapper, why the heck not?

True.  TBF I'm not sure I'd feel great with our punt returner being a 6th round rookie. LS, not so worried.

My guess is Moore.  He averaged something like 9 yrds a return last year for Seattle.

Returner is a liiiiiittle low on the list when rebooting a roster.

3 phases in the game.  And we have been talking about PR for over a decade.   And I’m not talking about having to get a Devin Hester….but we generally are praying we don’t turn it over.   

Joe Adams was the last actual attempt to solve it in the draft.  That is just life.  They don’t all hit.  The kid from Utah worked out pretty good for us though.

Honestly, our punt returner(s) didn't get much work last season. I sure hope that has changed.

Still, you'd think by this point we'd be seeing something about an unsung player making moves to be the returner. Just hearing crickets chirp at the moment.

Amen. We went two games at least without fielding a punt. Embarrassing.

Drafted, sure, but free agency has been a part of it as well. Ted Ginn Jr was brought in the year after Joe Adams was drafted, and while he wasn't called for return duty in 2014 & 2015, he did return to the job in 2016.

According to some Huddlers, CMC was a returner drafted in the top 10 lmao

2018 + 2019 was just like 2014 + 2015 in the by committee approach, but Pharoh Cooper was brought in to do returns and Trenton Cannon was also getting opportunities.

I think we'll see Trenton Cannon pulling return duty this upcoming season along with Shi Smith. Shi, despite training camp reports not giving the warm fuzzies in regards to his return ability, has plenty of it from his time at SCar.

Shi returned some kicks in college but never returned punts

      2026 OL prospects

      By Icege · Posted

      With two starters on expiring contracts (Moton + Corbett) as well as a few back-ups (Christensen, Mays, and Nijman), the Panthers are likely going to have to reinvest in the OL after this coming season. Icky's fifth-year option was picked up by the team this offseason while Lewis and Hunt both remain under contract then (though Lewis' deal is set-up in a way that would let Carolina move on from him then as well). I think that the team is going to be looking at investing a premium pick at RT should Bryce's development continue, and might even look to double dip at the position in order to have a swing tackle that can also kick inside when needed. There's also the question of starting center... Prospects I'm watching this upcoming college season... Centers Jake Slaughter (Florida) Iapani Laloulu (Oregon) Connor Lew (Auburn) Logan Jones (Iowa) Parker Brailsford (Alabama) Connor Tollison (Missouri) Bryce Foster (Kentucky) Pat Coogan Notre Dame) Raheem Anderson (Michigan) Carson Hinzman (Ohio State) RTs Francis Mauigoa (Miami) Kadyn Proctor (Alabama) Spencer Fano (Utah) Gennings Dunker (Iowa) Blake Miller (Clemson) Isaiah World (Oregon) Caleb Tiernan (Northwestern) Monroe Feeling (Georgia) Earnest Greene III (Georgia) Monroe Mills (Louisville) Charles Jagusah (Notre Dame) Tree Babalade (South Carolina) Trey Zuhn III (Texas A&M) Nolan Rucci (Penn State) Tristan Leigh (Clemson) Fernando Carmona (Arkansas) JC Davis (Illinois) Riley Mahlman (Wisconsin) PJ Williams (SMU) Tosh Baker (Notre Dame) Aki Ogunbiyi (Texas A&M) Courtland Ford (Kentucky) Ethan Onianwa (Rice)

      I watched documentary on the 2010 Auburn season and Cam wasn’t included in that either. I think he just doesn’t care for these things
