Former Clemson/Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow did visit with the #Panthers Wednesday, as a league source confirmed and as 
@RapSheet
 &

 said.

He spent 2023 out of ball. The 29-year-old has quite a bit of punt return exp. Also, 269 rec for 2,884 yds & 17 TDs in 5 yrs.

There's some absoulute slappies on rosters across the league, I'd take him in a heartbeat. He's a cerebral route runner and posesses the ability to manipulate defenders in zone/off man. QB friendly receiver. Laterally he's twitchy enough dude has to put some muscle on though, he gets bodied in press man.

This seems like a Jordan Matthews long shot move.  I doubt he makes the 53 man if they bring him in.  He was already washed and missed a year.

I don't think he was washed so much as Hunter Renfrow is a very specific niche player that requires actually playing to that niche and it built into an O. 

He is rather pointless to have if you aren't going to have an O he fits into and the specific work he does. 

Can the average NFL player cover the Renfrow route/game? Not really.  But your O has to want that in your O.  If just ask him to sub in for a random WR.....that doesn't really work.

can he play anything?

Renfrow can work select routes in the slot as good as anyone.  He isn't a plug into any offense type  or just any slot role type.

that is not Hunter Renfrow's info. 

That's DT Desmond Watson.  First clue should of been the bench press

Renfrow ran some of the nasty routes out of the slot that could be ran.  He is now 30.   Renfrow losing that quickness in his feet that comes with age......is just a massive nail in the coffin, given his niche at this level.

Panthers front office might as well start posting up in local nursing homes at this point. Maybe there's a few old timers around with some juice left in the tank.

Or you know they could just stop drafting like utter dogshit.

He probably wouldn't make the team.  That's why I say it's just Jordan Matthews all over again.  He gets to be in camp.  Someone will get to write an article about it.  And then he won't make the 53.

    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
