I didn’t watch, how did JT Sanders look?

We're setting him up for some easy yards, but he's putting out good effort and doesn't look out of his depth.

Had a few more rookie speedbumps at times with blocking assignments, but he doesn't look terrible.  

Speaking of TEs - Ian Thomas, that dude, that dude can go.

What is Thomas good at again? I keep hearing blocking but then he misses them at critical times.

absolutely, but hes  running the reciever style TE, and he's improving.  I think his hands are improving, he needs to work on blocking, but for a rookie he's pretty darn good so far...better than weve seen from a rookie TE maybe ever.

I get the blocking issues it’s the cbs stopping these TEs in their stride one on one that infuriates me

I didn’t watch the whole game, but I feel Sanders fights for every yard. On one catch he had three guys on him and he still moved forward. I don’t see him as soft at all.

Agree with this, very promising, I think he has a chance to be really good. He’s only 21.

He needs to work on turning up field and going north/south when contact approaches. There were numerous receptions yesterday where he tried to avoid contact and ended up either going backwards or leaving some yards on the table because of it.

He is a rookie but better and more involved than any rookie TE I can ever really remember us having.

    • Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
    • my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.
