I hope he ends up in a Panther uniform. Something about this kid makes me think he's going to be a special player.  Nothing great stands out about him but he's just 100% football player that won't quit. 

Something about him for sure. I get the same for Jack Sawyer.

I was definitely pretty damn surprised by that. Imagine getting trucked on the gridiron then he walks into the gym and you think you're gonna get it back on this 5'9" dude and then he drops a hammer on you on the hardwood too. Dayum...

Yea that’s elite athletic genetics.  Maybe a bit short but a vertical jump around 40 indicates he is a freak.

He doesn't have long speed. I think that's pretty clear watching him play. But he has everything else. And let's be real, how often does long speed really come into play for a RB. How often does a RB really break out into the open and cut loose in the NFL? Honestly probably only a handful of times a season for most. I'll take a guy who has the elite vision, agility, short area burst, power, etc. over the guy who has wheels in the open field.

I have a heart, so I love him as much as everyone else. But: it would be really nice to find a backup with the speed to bring some volatility to the offense, and Skattebo doesn’t have it. Chuba and Skattebo have very similar games. Obviously that’s a good game, but Skattebo doesn’t bring anything to the offense that it doesn’t already have. And we need someone to return kicks/punts.
 

Tuten, Brashard Smith, Etienne, Rocket Sanders…so many guys ran in or below the 4.4’s this year. Obviously if the GPS data says he plays as fast as those guys, throw the combine numbers out the window. But if it matches up, he’s not my favorite type of back for us.

I don’t know if there’s ever been a prospect I’ve wanted the panthers to draft more than this kid. Unfortunately some team will “reach” for him 

I wouldnt go that far but I like him as well.  Just not sure what round he is going to end up in.  If Morgan didnt draft that RB last year I would be all about he Hampton train at 57 if he was there but you cannot draft a rb in the 2nd in back to back drafts

To be fair Chubba did run a 4.36 at his pro day.

Hand-timed at a pro day. It doesn’t show up on the field. I think the point remains.

Nothing says they can’t find a shiftier back and have this kid as the backup and heir apparent to Chuba 

I shared the info as many people on the board are fans of his 

who knows what they will do but at least they know they need to update the backs if at all possible 

when Chuba is out, it doesn’t typically end well

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
