Young's bullshit with hiding his weight is a red flag to me. Shows up at the combine at 204 but won't work out, then weeks later refuses to weigh again at his pro day. If you lost the weight, just be honest about it. we already saw you sit next to 5'9'' Steve Smith and look like his young child, refusing to divulge your weight isn't tricking anybody into thinking you're big, it just makes you look shady.

Rodeo brings the real heat with this.........plus the fact that young maybe one of the only future NFL or even current NFLers that steve is able to look eye-2-eye......either of them have experiences in overlooking anything.......BUT i do...

I am hoping the collect group of frank, josh, and jim will draft the right player, I mean QB to the carolinas. I hope to all thats football holy, they do not need to disprove or pull a epic gotchA, they will be smart and not fall for the trap....

Agreed. I was leaning pretty hard toward Young but I'm seriously reconsidering. The dude looks a buck 80 tops. Smitty looked like he had 30-40 pounds on him. Somebody ask Smitty what he weighs these days. I ain't trying to catch those hands.

Yeah but don't you think that now he's out of school he can focus on building body, gain weight etc. Not to mention as he gets older it'll be easier for him to put on the weight.  I was 6'3" 155lbs in high school but was able to put on more weight in my 20s...

Look at Smitty's overall build compared to Young's. Good grief. Dude is small.

Mike next to him is 5'8 and a tick under youngs weight.....its crazy to me people want to over-look the size difference or say "it doesnt matter" 

Young has been at the best college strength program and looking like Mr. peanut years after.....

Bama probably has the best S&C program outside of the NFL. Do I think he'll add more weight? Sure. How much? No clue.

Part of what you're getting when you draft a guy out of a Bama or OSU is a guy who has been in as close to an NFL environment as you can get outside of the NFL.

I think in the morning steve is hitting 235...... deal is smitty was always thicc in the hips and he had the biggest calfs a person could move with. Now hes got the upper half to match. i heard him months ago talking about walking his dog in a weighted vest to lose weight.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
