6'5 335 lbs, 27yo

4th rounder for the Cardinals, played on the Jets last year. Been mostly a rotational guy, but could be another Luvu-type discovery from the Jets that could blossom here.

Guy was a multi-sport coming out of college, played football AND rugby at 335 pounds. Running full speed in a game like that with THAT size? That's an incredible feat.

He's a low risk traits vs production kinda guy with all the measureables you'd want in a NT, and that 335 is mostly muscle! He looks lean for his size. Very athletic, but raw. Not a lot of highlights so had to go back to college:

 

Also, he has a Panthers connection because he trains in the offseason with a cousin of his: Star Lotulelei

 

I think he's the perfect opportunity to give a shot to a young guy with a prove-it deal, and if he can make a turnaround here, then it'll just make us even stronger.

Panthers… where rejects get another chance to prove why they are rejects.

Frankie Luvu was one of those 'rejects', and look at him now thriving. First with us, now with the Commanders. But it just goes to show theres diamonds in the rough out there that we could take a bargain shot at.

washington is who we should have been. they're now going all in. we are playing catch up and hoping the momentum from bryce carries over to next year and it wasn't a flash in the pan.

Literally was thinking the same thing just now.  We won’t be winning anything in 2025.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      I would say the extremes from both camps in these conversations have to do with the blurring of the fact Bryce is a first overall pick and the expectations for that draft slot fair or not far exceed just being a top 20-25 starter amongst your peers. Regardless. All logical Panthers fans want him to be the answer.

      The offseason is always when hope springs eternal. If you look past that, you can see a very bad roster with a lot more questions than definitive answers. Let's hope we get a lot of those right, because I think we are a lot closer to another impatient Tepper reset than we probably think.

      These arguments are getting more and more disingenuous from both the pro and anti Bryce crowd. Bryce looked very good for stretches down the final 8 games. He finally showed glimpses of the guy that was projected as a top QB pick in the draft. Bryce also didn't look like a top 10 NFL QB.  I think we are so far removed from Prime Cam that we forget what an elite QB looks like. I could tell that when people were losing their minds and simping for Sam Darnold. This season needs to finally showcase Bryce as a franchise talent. If that doesn't happen, it's time to pivot. There are very few recent examples of QB's struggling or being a mixed bag through the first three seasons of starting and then suddenly becoming frachise caliber players.
