Not a good look by any means but I am curious what was said to initiate that. Anywho that's why you don't have random fans on the field with players. I hope this guy has a good career for us. Knowing my Panthers it could go either way. We'll see.

Why the fug are fans on the field antagonizing players after a game in the first place? 

You watch college football? Fans take the field after rivalry games and or big wins.  Common occurrence that everyone deals with.   Hell, Clemson fans take the field after every single home game win or lose. 

Literally every player in the draft dealt with it their entire college career.

Yeah, this ones a bit of a head scratcher.  He is big and fast, but he's a 24 year old project with  some degree of a self control problem. He was clearly misused,  playing both ways.  Looks like a bit of a panic pick after other talent was pulled from the board.  Not sure why other talent on the board couldn't set the edge, but apparently its so important Evero even mentions it in the call.

Overall feels like theres a bit more urgency this year in this years draft, from the top pick on down.  Quite a contrast from trading down in 2021 and watching the QB's fall in 2022.

Yeah I know teams do it, SEC is thinking of taking away wins or 6 figure fines if the school lets it happen

DE/Edge Rusher D.J. Johnson has tremendous upside and NFL type Talent but needs some technical polish and the Panthers have formed a good coaching staff that should be able to make that happen..

D.J. Johnson  showed off an impressive combination of strength and speed by hitting 28 reps on the bench press and running a sub-4.5-second 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine, but his technique is still a work in progress as a defensive lineman, especially as a pass-rusher.

Johnson is still learning how to use his hands when rushing the passer and lacks a go-to move that he'll be able to win with at the next level. However, he is strong and physical at the point of attack as a run defender and showed flashes with his bull rush.

He is a versatile edge who can play in either even or odd fronts. He will take some time to develop, he is still new to the position which gives him more upside.

Don't we already have this guy on the roster in Barno? Would've been super stoked to have BY, Mingo, Washington and our new guard with 2 more picks to go. 

Barno is a speed rusher with work needed against the run, this is a bull style power rusher strong in run defense.  Very different.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.

      At least we have Mike Kay and his little buddy sidekick whoever to put you to sleep when suffering from insomnia. They're all useless unfortunately.
