Pugh found a place on the Panthers' radar because he shared similarities with starting safety Charles Godfrey. Like Godfrey, the rookie split time in college between safety and cornerback, and he's expected to contribute at both positions with Carolina.

Since Pugh arrived in town, Godfrey has taken over as his mentor. Godfrey, in his third season out of Iowa, said he's tried to help him learn how to make it in the NFL.

"My ultimate goal is to be a great player," he said. "I want to be known as one of the greatest Panthers to ever come through here."

This is the kind of article I like to see. It's important that, at least, a couple of these late round picks turn into decent players that can provide some depth. I'm really interested to see what guys like Pugh, Gettis, and Hardy can do.

I love his comment. I would rather him has the drive and focus to be great. Rather than him saying...."I hope to be just good enough to stick around on this team for a couple of seasons".

Word. There is nothing wrong with him saying that. He is just saying he want to be the best as in helping them. It's not like he said "I will be the best Panthers than anyone else in franchise history!" as a fact or anything. He seem to have a good chip on his shoulders & will work hard to be a starter or a good backup.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
