Keep an eye on Derek Wright. He came to us an UDFA under the previous regime and looked good during his limited playing time last preseason (against the Commandos). Good route running and catches the ball well. Reminds me a Proehl a little. Will make nice strides in this offense.

The 6th WR we would carry would have to do returns as evident by the numerous returners we brought in. With TMJ, Thielen, Chark, Mingo being locks, the last 5th WR would have to beat out Shenault who will also be used in gadget plays as well as some returning. You cant just be a WR only as a 5 or 6.

      Ex-Panthers great Steve Smith sued under 'homewrecker law' for alleged affair.

      By NAS · Posted

      Smitty is a legendary footballer player but this has really damaged his reputation as a person. You don’t cheat on a woman who has been with you through everything and gave you children and especially not with another man’s wife. He doesn’t even have any remorse about it, acting like nothing happened.

      The Athletic's "Undrafted Player to Watch"

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      That's a big ass center! Is there any center in the NFL that weighs 320 lbs? Also, we drafted a center last season. Not sure this guy is a center even if he took reps at the senior bowl. Looks like a guard to me unless his build is better suited to a lesser weight. In a zone scheme centers need to be able to move quickly.

      The majority of NFL draft picks don't play all too many snaps lined up directly across from another NFL player, and I don't think many people really realize this. Unless you play a game against one of the 2-4 schools that are putting half their lineup into the NFL each season, most teams who have multiple draft picks, MIGHT only have 2-4 draft picks in any given season. Some skill positions get around 30 players drafted each year, other positions are in the teens to low 20's.  With at least a handful of them coming from non power conference schools too.  So the odds for any WR or CB to get too many games lined up directly against another future draft pick is pretty low. The better odds are that they get lined up against a future NFL player, i.e. a junior or senior WR getting lined up against a freshman or sophomore DB who will get drafted in a couple of years. Then if you take it one step further and look for players who actually play in the NFL and make a difference.   You're basically looking at players drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft, so a little less than 100 players a year, spread out across all the positions and conferences (which in today's massive conferences, teams have even lower odds of player the teams with more NFL players than ever before).
