I am a huge Coker fan---he's our next Brad Hoover.

Really like this kid.  Want to see him continue to develops and get better.  He could be a safety blanket for Bryce.

Yeah, an UDFA that becomes a fan favorite--I like the kid--chatted with his dad during the draft and signing of undrafted players.  Really pulling for him.

I think his catching is elite.  I forget what game but he had a slant route on a 5 WR set, in traffic and snapped it out of the air with his hands like like a Cobra.  Good route running, great size.  His 10 yard split and broad jump are elite. 

The knock on him was his lack of competition and speed but watch his run after the catch in games.  He is not getting chased down.  Not an issue.

Purely my opinion but I think he has some of the biggest potential of any player on the team.

Fug that. I hope he's the next Adam Theilen.

Theilen has had such a good career. Steady as they come and brings in some of the toughest catches.

I played in the Southern Conference and we had 1 guy drafted; three more made NFL teams as UDFAs following my last year.  Now, these guys were head and shoulders better than most everyone else on our team, but we still thought, "Nobody from here is going to make a splash in the NFL. Sure, they are good against Furman and the Citadel..."  Two of the undrafted free agents became pro bowlers and had 10+ year careers.  You just never know, so when I hear, "level of competition" that means little to me.  I mean, the level of your team makes it more difficult to shine, if you ask me.  If your OL sucks and your QB sucks and your coach sucks--it is hard to look good.

Anquan Boldin, son. A reach, sure, but this dude is the truth. He’s our first pure WR prospect since…. When? You watch his game and it’s just so smooth. As a Panthers fan, I’m conditioned to expect drops in crucial moments. He makes me feel uncomfortable in the fact that he catches every stinking ball. 

If he caught 8 TDs and 800 yards next year… it would be sweet, but would surprise no one who has payed attention.

I’ve said it a million times but will keep saying it. Victor Cruz 2.0, except hopefully staying healthy his whole career unlike Cruz. People forget how good Cruz was and these guys profile very similarly skill set wise

[Gapanthersfan]

There’s a BIG difference in a guy who can play WR vs a guy who IS a WR. 

Panthers are great at getting guys who can.

This is a treat fans don’t get very frequently.

Pause it at 21:21 to see why he hand catches everything…. Look at the size of his mits. Rashad’s hands (which are probably normal man sized) are dwarfed in comparison.
