Was excited because I know he has been a multi-time pro bowler and all-pro, but damn...  I did not know he was 34 now.  Wow!  Still excited though, because even at 34, he will get us way more than The Human Fair Catch did all last season.  Great pickup this late.

The 34-year-old Roberts was an All-Pro pick three times in the last four seasons, and led the league in kickoff return yards last year (1,010, with two teams). His 8,578 combined return yards (kickoff and punt) are the most of any player in the league since 2010.

  But he was not 34 when he did those things. According to my smart phone, he will be 35 within a year.

Panthers GM Scott Fitterer said after the draft he wanted to add a kick returner and he got a good one. Carolina signed Andre Roberts, 34, an All-Pro pick three times in the last four seasons. Roberts led the league in kickoff return yards last year with 1,010. His 8,578 combined return yards are the post of any player in the league since 2010. He is from Columbia, South Carolina and attended The Citadel.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, in theory Bryce could get over the hump. That aside, you have to know that due to the situation we are going to give him another year. From some perspectives, it just makes sense. I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with it, but it's not like the draft is chock full of franchise QBs. I'm thinking that only one, the consensus top pick, is destined to be the only one in this draft (and some people don't believe in him). All we can do is sure up the room with an FA (Pickett) and take a swing or two and hope (maybe the dawg Pavia). 2027 should bring better options if it comes to that.

      Let's be honest here. We have one WR on this team that would be in the top 3 of ANY other team. And he was a rookie last year. I love Coker but he is an often injured UDFA. He wouldn't have even gotten a chance on other teams. The rookie injury would have bounced him around the league for the next 5 years until he stopped trying to make a roster. It's a numbers game for most teams and he would have (at best) been on some team's practice squad. But Carolina has been so devoid of talent at the position, that we didn't have much of a choice. Bryce leaves a lot of questions but to say he hasn't elevated anyone isn't true. No WR has left Carolina since he's started and did better on another team. Not one. And there are several to choose from. Coincidence? Maybe. Probably not.
