"NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport had some strong words about former Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral after the Carolina Panthers picked Corral in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft on Friday.

After four seasons and two dominant campaigns at Ole Miss, Corral was the fourth quarterback selected, going at No. 94. Rapoport said the Panthers viewed Corral as the quarterback in this class with the best college tape, but his slide to the back of the third round might have been caused by off-the-field issues."

Wow I had no idea he was going through so much.

Yay! We drafted Jason Peter again.

Jason Peter was addicted to opiates. From opiates it’s a straight line to heroin. It’s much different. 
 

the panthers also drafted rashard Anderson in 2000 who was literally selling heroin lol.

Kids go through growing pains with learning their limits and hopefully grow from it.  ANd that can bleed into their early 20s as well.  Just gotta hope for the best.

The bigger concern was the difficulty in interviews with teams--that's when they throw a lot of concepts at these kids so paired with the Wonderlic, just hope he picks things up.  I mean, Dak and Mahomes were kind of in similar boats coming out and had to learn a lot quickly.  I'm hopeful.  Just hope he doesn't do any stupid sh*t, he's a professional now, it isn't college anymore.

How many NFL player got in a fight in high school? A crazy amount.  And how many got in a fight with Wayne Gretzky’s son? One.  That’s why we hear about that.  I totally disregard that. 

Did he party early in college and not take football serious? Sounds like it.  Is it well documented he changed that while in college? Yep.  Hell, that’s the path of how many successful people? 

Is he the safest pick ever? Probably not.  But that’s why he is a 3rd round pick.   

Not to pick nits but partying in college is a bit different then what he has admitted to.  He had/has a problem with alcohol.  Thats one of the concerns Ian is referring to.  You can spin it anyway you want but the concerns are real.    That said its just a 3rd/4rth and is easy to move off of if something comes up

Depression and alcohol issues

What alcohol issues? Again specifically have you read anything that has any details there? If not wtf are we talking about here. Did he get caught drunk pissing in an alley? Did he show up drunk to games? Practices? Or did the guy party too hard early in his college experience in his off time?

    • yeah, but the actual jersey Bryce Young is wearing is not the same jersey you are buying from Fanatics.   
    • i just feel like i read this he says she says poo all the time over & over again  on the internet  TV  work ,in public & then i think back to myself oh what a sick slandermongering world we live in now. ts just like those National Enquirer magazines you find in the grocery store at the checkout counter which are nothing more than complete & utter BS  & more often than not when you assume something then you make an ASS out of U & ME. so chill &  let the courts do their job & if he is guilty well he is guilty  LOL either or this has nothing at all whatsoever to do with Carolina Panthers football   
    • Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
