Edwards concentrating on punts

Though the Panthers envision rookie WR Armanti Edwards on both kickoff and punt returns, he's concentrating on punts for now.

Edwards has a lot on his plate, converting from quarterback to wide receiver while also fielding punts for the first time. Tyrell Sutton is currently penciled in on kickoffs, though that could change before the start of the season. Brian Witherspoon appears to be on the outside looking in.

Sort of strange that Witherspoon's already "on the outside looking in." I wonder why they say that? Or are they just guessing, just like they're guessing Jarrett will be cut?

I'm holding my breath on Edwards as a returner. I know he's a very gifted athlete, but he just doesn't have much experience doing it. Also, I've held out hope for other great athletes to come in and be effective returners, and it never seems to happen.

I certainly hope he can be a difference maker returning, but I am not expecting it. Instead, I think he'll spend most of this year off the field learning the wide receiver position. We may use him a play or two here or there, but I don't think we'll see a whole lot of him.

I will more than happily eat my words if he comes in and can compete for a spot returning or receiving.

I think he'll do fine on punt returns. Moore and Munnerlynn are risks to muff it every time. I doubt Edwards will be.

I don't know how much Edwards is going to be able to do receiving the ball, but he should be able to contribute at least giving us a respectable 3 WR set.

I remember reading that R.J Stanford has legit 4.3 speed and has experience on kickoffs and/or punts, so he may be an option as well. With a crowded defensive secondary, his only shot to make the roster will be on ST.

I'm not yet sold on Armanti Edwards. He'll have a lot on his plate, as stated earlier, learning a new position. With him not having the experience in the return game, this leaves me a little concerned. JMO

I still think return men are born and not made. After maybe 5 return attempts we should know if Edwards has it in him. Captain....he just makes you too nervous trying to figure out what he is going to do.

      Would you trade Derrick Brown to get a top QB prospect?

      Sadly, I’ve talked with a lot of my fellow alumni and Heel fans, and I’ve said, sadly, UNC is in the same exact position with Gio as the Panthers are with Bryce.  And the way the situations mirror each other are EERIE.  I’ve said here repeatedly how whoever Bryce’s personal team is that conned an NFL front office into taking him as a first round pick, let alone the #1 overall pick, deserve to retire off whatever money he’s made due to their efforts.  This poo would make Chauncey Billups’ crime bosses blush.🤣. Same for Gio.  Whoever he has around him, representing him, that convinced a power 4 school to pay this MF MILLIONS of dollars at the college level coming from Southwest Alabama Technical Basket Weaving School for the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind University, just to come make the whole rest of the UNC squad look like absolute poo is a fuging amazing sell.  I’m talking Tai Lopez level scam poo.  And for both to con their way to their position at their respective levels of competition, only to get there and be so clearly the worst piece on their team while simultaneously play the most important position on the field - I’ve never seen anything like it.  And what’s worse, in both cases, the organization chooses to keep putting them out there in large part because of ego and investment made.  And all they keep doing is making the rest of the team look fuging atrocious.  They both literally hold the entire team back by their presence alone.  And as an aside, Lopez may have the slowest fuging release I have ever witnessed in my life.  In talking slower and longer than fuging The Golden Calf of Bristol.🤣🤣🤣
