John Fox at Bama' Pro Day...

Recommended Posts

The speculation that John Kasay may be cut from the Carolina Panthers before the start of next season may be heating up. John Fox was at the Alabama Pro Day, along with Tom Coughlin and Rex Ryan. It's my belief that Fox was scouting projected 6th round pick, Leigh Tiffin (K). Leigh Tiffin is Alabama's most productive kicker in school history and was 2nd runner up for the Lou Groza award in 2008.

Now, there are several draftworthy prospects coming from Bama' this year, and it's possible we were scouting one of Bama's CB's, but I am thinking they are projected too high for our need. It seems kicker is the most logical choice.

Other noteable draft prospects:

Terrence Cody - NT - does not fit scheme, 1-2nd Round Proj

Rolando McClain - MLB - does not fit need, Top 15 pick

Mike Johnson - OG - not big enough need to warrant pick, 3rd Round Proj

Colin Peek - TE - No Need, 4-5th Round Proj

Kareem Jackson - CB - slight need - 1-2nd Round Proj.

Javier Arenas - CB/KR - slight need - 3rd Round Proj.

His profile from Alabama says he averaged 67.7 yards a kickoff with 2 touchbacks tying his career high. I didn't really pay much attention to him when they played... Can't tell a lot about his kicking power from his stats, just that he's accurate.

    • I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.
    • overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.     
    • Im really curious to see how the defense is going to look once its playing with some leads.
