Why Panthers Ikem Ekwonu will be The BEST Tackle in the NFL

Yep, very pleased with Icky. I honestly didn't know if he'd make it as a LT in the NFL but one of the reasons I likes the pick is o felt it was a safe pick because with his physicality and run blocking abilities if he didn't work out at LT he probably had positional versatility in his skill set to be a good player somewhere along the OL. The problem with the finesse LTs with prototypical LT measurements is that if they don't work out at LT, where do play them? They don't really translate anywhere else along the OL. With all the OT busts on the past couple of decades Icky's potential positional versatility made me more comfortable.

I think keeping Campen was critical for a guy like Ekwonu and really for all of our younger linemen. 

If Ikey can make a step forward in year two, he might be the anchor we have been looking for forever. Possibly a 10+ year guy if he keeps improving. 

We sure as fug need it.

what about your favoite player Erv?!?!? whom is back again!!

Best part is, he wants to be a 10+ year guy for us.  This is his team
