I have decided to declare for the Draft

I have decided to forgo my senior year at ECU and will declare for the NFL draft as soon as I can figure out the proper paperwork to fill out. I think that I would be a late round steal for the carolina panthers organization, and hope they would consider drafting me.

Physical stats:

5'11" tall (in cleats) of angry Irish American descent.

160lbs (dripping wet, and with clothes on, and after I've let my hair grow out)

Injury History:

Torn meniscus while attempting a drunken flip in my friend's back yard when I was 18. Never repaired in surgery. Surgery is for pussies (and people who's insurance will cover it)

Sprained ACL when I was 20 after playing flag football for ECU's inter-mural team. Still hurts when it rains or is about to rain.

Projected Combine stats:

24" vertical

4.5 speed... okay that was in high school before the knee injuries... We'll go with 4.3 now. I'm like Steve Smith, I get faster due to injuries.

bench reps: 1/2... okay maybe 1 if I'm amped up on Hawaiian Punch before the workout.

Football history:

Played for a season when I was 13. Stopped playing due to physical limitations (I didn't hit puberty until I was 17... shut up, my mom says I'm a late bloomer)

This one time I caught a diving pass one handed on a go route for a TD in my backyard when I was 12. It was pretty diesel.

Consistent Madden champion within tournaments between my friends. 360 version only though, my game doesn't transition well across other systems. and as we all know, If you are good at Madden, you are good in real life as well. It's science.

Here is a picture of your hopeful future star:

That's right, it's a ginger beard. Told you I was Irish. Hands big enough to half block out a grown man's face from a picture being taken a few feet away, yet delicate enough for my girlfriend to say "you have the softest hands of anyone I've ever met, even softer than girl's". I'm sure she meant I would be able to catch a football, she just made it sound pansy-like to push me harder to train (and by train I mean play madden).

I will be entering the draft as a WR. Consider your prayers for a threat opposite Steve answered. I hope to be in uniform for the Panthers in April, and will play for cheap, league minimum even. my only contractual request would be to have an assistant to apply SPF 50 sunscreen on me at regular 1 hour intervals for any prolonged exposure to the sun. I burn easily... just like the defenders that will go up against me...

Before you scoff at the idea just ask yourselves one thing, 'Hey, can he be any worse than Jarrett?'.

I think not.

That actually reminds me of a funny story I heard about a guy that declared for the draft when he was in high school. He sent his scouting info to every NBA team in the nation. The scouts called in bothering his coach for 2 weeks.

It was a good practical joke.

It seems they'll look at you no matter what just to cover their bases. But that was a long time ago.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      By strato · Posted

      damn I wish somebody would sign him. This has been going on for weeks.    I think if the team wanted to sign him we probably would have heard something about interest on our part.    Or any TE. It looks like they have set that room. And we have taken guys two years running, a guy like this would be blocking them. We need to see if they have it or not. And we should see if Tremble is gonna ever do anything.      In general, with the TEs

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Dude, there aren’t rose colored glasses big enough for you to call this “not a bad draft.” BC was not a good pick. He was taken with the 6th pick in round 3 and he’s been a backup OL. Tremble also wasn’t a win. Another 3rd rounder who’s easily replaced. Only reason either of them started games is because of injuries or a lack of a better starter. Chuba’s got heart but he’s had one solid year behind a solid run blocking unit. Other than that he’s underwhelmed and like we saw with Dowdle and Foreman, it’s not hard to find cheap pickups who perform as well. Horn has been a good starter but honestly that draft had so many solid starters we could have taken. With as many picks as we had, him and Chuba is absolutely a bad draft. We needed OL and BC and Brown was a terrible effort. You clearly didn’t watch the Senior Bowl if you thought Brown had a chance in the NFL. The huddle draft folks wanted Humphrey and Smith and instead we got crap and Mahomes was the winner.
