Nobody Has Mentioned This Guy

Marcus Easley, WR of Connecticut. Nobody has mentioned him at all. Since the end of this year's NCAA football season, I've been telling people this kid's gonna be a steal in free agency. Nobody listened.

Despite not starting until game 5 of last season, he still managed to rack up big stats.

48 receptions, 893 yards, and 8 touchdowns.

That's pretty impressive for a guy playing 8 games of football at a school like UConn.

PRO DAY RESULTS: When position coaches are dispatched to a pro day, it typically signifies a definite interest in a particular prospect. Remember that when it comes to Connecticut WR Marcus Easley (6-foot-2 3/4, 211 pounds). Included among the 20 team representatives on hand for UConn's pro day were the receivers coaches from the Jets and Ravens. That could be a good sign for Easley's draft stature, and he took advantage of the attention. He stood on most of his numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine, but posted an impressive 37 1/2-inch vertical jump and looked good in position drills.
(Per Gil Brandt of NFL.com)

According to an article I found, Easley has spoken extensively with both the Bears and Panthers. Due to outstanding combine and pro days, he has risen from Zero to Hero, and is expected to go in the 5th or 6th round instead of being a free agent after the draft as previously thought.

I say take him while we have a chance. He's an excellent athlete and will be a legitimate threat in the NFL. Mark my words.

we could solve our wide receiver problems for years with this draft alone if we do well. it's deep.

People outside the Panthers fanbase have mentioned him, like draft experts and such. But the fanbase is so stuck on all of these high rounders and big name guys that could solve our problems. We never have wide receiver success in the early rounds. Even Steve was a 3rd rounder. But I seriously think this guy could do some hard damage in the NFL.
