Brandon Zylstra just Moss’d someone for a goal line TD. I didn’t see who was in coverage.

Touchdown Rashard Higgins on a delayed under route from Sam Darnold. Hollywood caught it with no one round, slowed into the end zone & leaped in. Entire offensive line rushed to join celebration.

Up next, Darnold threw back-to-back TDs, one to Tommy Tremble, the other to Shi Smith. Corral followed that up with two more TD passes.

Robbie Anderson took a few reps during opening red zone session. Baggy blue hoodie & amber visor + new number = saucy.

And then Darnold hits Tommy Tremble and Shi Smith for TDs on consecutive passes.

Practice began with a 7 on 7 red zone session. Sam Darnold took first 4 reps. Matt Corral went next, throwing a left corner TD to TE Stephen Sullivan on his first pass.

Panthers first-round pick Ickey Ekwonu said his goal is ‘'100 percent'' to be the starting left tackle in training camp. He also showed skills as a receiver on a TD catch from Sam Darnold in Thursday's final practice of OTAs.

Ikem Ekwonu says he’s actually had two catches this spring, so hopes he showed coaches he can do it in a game.

Ikem Ekwonu on the potential to face Browns' DE Myles Garrett and Steelers' T.J. Watt: 

"That's something I'm excited for. Going up against the best of the best is going to be test for me."

Ickey’s been to a basketball camp in Spartanburg, so he’s aware of the heat that’s in his future. (Not that it hasn’t been Spartanburg hot this week.)

“I chose to wrestle, but I could have played basketball."

Ikem Ekwonu said he's been to Wofford once for a JV basketball tournament. He claims he averaged a double-double, 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Ikem Ekwonu says he plans to train some in Charlotte and some elsewhere and hopes to close the gap between him and the vets conditioning-wise.

Ekwonu on his touchdown: “I knew Sam was going to put it on the money."

Ikem Ekwonu at the podium, says “the violence will never leave me.”  (That’s a thing offensive linemen say.)

Talks about the benefit of doing drills against Brian Burns, which will give him a sense of what NFL speed looks like.

Panthers rookie quarterback Matt Corral sounds more confident now that he's completed OTAs. He plans to spend time in Florida training over the next five weeks before heading to Florida for family time.

When does Panthers' rookie QB Matt Corral think he will be ready to compete with Sam Darnold for the starting job? "Whenever coach [OC Ben McAdoo] says I'm ready, I'm ready.'' Sounds confident.

Matt Corral said the biggest thing for him is learning the playbook.

Corral said the biggest challenge of the weeks before camp will be “not taking a day off mentally.”

He’s taking his playbook with him everywhere he goes, and staying in it to get himself ready.

Rhule says he's not sure who will be the No. 1 left tackle when Panthers get to camp. Says Brady Christensen is one of the best players on the team (any position), so expect them to find a spot for him -- whether it's LT or LG.

Either Ikem Ekwonu or Brady Christensen, who has practiced at LT and LG, will start camp at LT. 

The coaching staff will evaluate after this, Rhule says.

Matt Rhule said he expects everyone, all the players, to be a full go by training camp. 

Daviyon Nixon, who is recovering from a  knee injury, is the only who has a ways to go.

Matt Rhule said all the coaches and personnel guys will take time off over the next five weeks so they can be ready for training camp in late July.

Matt Rhule: Difference in Sam Darnold from OTAs last year to this year is "night and day." But Rhule said if there's someone they can bring in to make the team better -- at any position -- they're going to do it.

Nobody is buying this bullshit, as soon as Corral can run the offense Sam needs to be on the bench.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
