TMJ ain’t got 4.3 speed.  LSU might say so.   When LSU wasn’t on the timer he logged 4.5 at the college combine. Which matches more his game day appearance.

he is a possession WR

The Charlotte Observer reported 4.4 speed.

Ideally our top 4 WRs this year will be Chark, TMJ, Thielen, and Mingo this season and while Laviska would be a pretty good 5th WR, Byrd would be just fine as our 5th as well.

We don't really have a big bruising RB on the roster right now, and while we could still sign someone, I'd be interested in seeing what Laviska could provide as a RB.  He already runs like an RB once he gets the ball in his hand and with his size and pass catching ability, I think he'd make for an interesting backfield mate to compliment Sanders.

He's similarly built to Patterson, same weight and just an inch shorter, and runs with a similar aggression.

I think it would work.

 

He's noooooowhere near as talented. Patterson is a freak.

Judge for yourself

Dude has played in the NFL for 2 seasons.  He doesn't have 4.3 NFL speed.  He is a possession type. 

You don't judge a guys speed based on what his college team says at a pro day.   and 40 times are overrated often to begin with.  It measures how efficient and well someone can pull off a 40.   Which isn't really a great measure of football speed.

No one has knocked TMJ.  He isn't a NFL vertical.  That's all that was said.  Yeah, everyone can run a vertical route.   DJ Moore could too.  He wasn't a vertical threat WR either.  

Mushin went bonkers one year and still holds the longest TD pass probably in Super Bowl history.  He was still a possession WR.

I agree 40s are just indicators that make you confirm or re-watch tape. All I did is give you the full video of his run. Put the stopwatch on him if you don't believe LSU.

Don't ignore Mingo as a deep threat either, who was clocked over 22 mph in pads.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
