It used to be the norm for the top prospects to skip parts of the combine.  Matt Stafford for instance didn't throw at the combine, even though he would have shined throwing next to the other prospects with his cannon arm.  Then for the last decade or so guys have chosen to compete.  I think the mindset might have changed recently (for whatever reason) and agents are now advising their clients to sit out some stuff at the combine.  That's not just at QB.  It will be interesting to see what becomes the new normal.

In Young's case I think his arm is simply not on the level of the other 3 top guys.  So if I were advising him I wouldn't want him on the same field as those guys either.  Especially when he's carrying some extra weight to fake the weigh in at over 200 lbs. LOL

I'd never advise my client to hide.

Go to the Combine and do every drill asked. Get it all on record then tell them to watch the tape.

Would love to know how fast he can throw.  Stroud, Richardson, and Levis all threw around 60 mph.  I hope the Panthers test this when they have personal workouts

From a few days ago but this is the first time I’m seeing this quote 

 

 

I found the wording really interesting “…Stroud leaves more to be desired from those evaluating him from afar...”. What does people say that have seen him close up with his teammates?

There are plenty of articles where his teammates praise his leadership.  He is a "lead by example" type dude.  First one in, last one out player.  So yeah that wording is a bit clunky

Makes sense, he doesn’t strike me as a rah rah type of guy. And that is totally fine by me, there are so many ways to lead.

I mean there are just tons and tons of articles where the coaches and players go head over heels praising his leadership style so that is one odd tweet.

Strengths

•Experience/Leadership – Stroud is known as a passionate leader in the locker room. Although soft-spoken in interviews, the team feeds off of his play. Serving as the full-time starter in 2021 and 2022 gives Stroud plenty of experience and high-caliber tape for NFL teams to salivate over.

That metric weirdly doesn't seem to translate to arm strength - but either way the Panthers have already said they won't be doing drills with the prospects when they visit Charlotte.

You can see they respect him on that 'behind the scenes' Pro Day video Ohio St released. A quiet leader, but one nethertheless.

He vocal in the locker room, a super religious guy, incredibly involved in the community and out spoken on some social issues.   I think I know how this plays out.

I've seen similar statements before.

There's word of him having an aloof personality that sometimes turns teammates off.

Don't know how valid it is but it's been talked about.

      You're saying the same thing as I said.  Until Jordan becomes an active part of recruiting and funding, this school will continue to fall way behind.  But to say Michael Jordan or the Jordan brand doesn't matter anymore, which is what you said, is flat out wrong.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Basbear · Posted

      I have not learnt my lesson and will always want Uber athletic profiles. Sorry, Im a whore about it.... Im not the right guy to defend Kenyon, I just have a understanding with this years draft, numbers, and panthers roster. He is more of "upside/project" and we are talking 19th pick here too.  I know about the years of all the mock drafts with TEs in them and I did want Pitts too.... Look I love the current TEs on the roster too, just this guy should be better than any of them at their best.  Right now I feel OT is the correct target, but panthers as a org are trying to win in 2026 than 2027. So tea leaves and all, Kenyon would help this year. You can even say flex him to slot for most of the snaps and think of tmac on smoke routes with Kenyon blocking for him. I just hate BY is the shooter..... warren, I would say he's the better prospect even without his rookie year, *but he was late bloomer like XL if Im right, plus age was 25ish?? Bears picked love above him, mainly cause of recs.  You can make a case that Kenyon is not a TE, but a moving weapon for offense that can be in the backfield, on the LOS, slot, and even X.... imean he's got XLs combine on some numbers.... He would be better to a offense mad scientist type...is that Dave? or is that bevell?? I think the Panthers should have him as a 19 pick, with others...

      That's one of the best power play games I've seen us have in a while.
