No risk and literally no point.  We have tried this before with basketball players who actually HAD a football background as well.  All of them flopped.  At best, training camp and practice squad fodder.

Peppers?

[Shocker]

Read he has been working out with George Fant who told the Panthers about him.  Fant came from small school basketball to play in the NFL

 Peppers was basketball player with little-to-no football background we signed off the street to play TE?

Yeah, I was talking about the likes of Swole Bones, Sullivan and there was one other forgettable name the team took look at.  Not to mention the washed out tall WRs, QBs etc... that we have tried to convert to TEs.  Again, we suck a developing guys at their natural positions, let alone completely new ones in the NFL, or hell, a completely new sport at it's highest level.

Dude you're really bitter about a bottom of the roster no risk high reward type of signing.  I don't think you can be happy about anything the Panthers do

We need to look at some sumo wrestlers and strongmen for the lines while we’re at it

Bitter, lol!  Embarrassed is more like it.  This is purely a joke or a PR move to get publicity.  There's is zero chance this dude makes the roster.  Honestly, I doubt he'll even make it to camp.

Rugby players for running backs and then sign Messi to be the FG kicker.

He’s built like former Charger and current Steelers TE Donald Parham who’s 6’8 237lbs

According to Tony Pauline, the #Panthers, Falcons, Texans, Eagles, Seahawks and Vikings showed interest in converted TE and Coastal Carolina basketball player Colin Granger on his Pro Day 

Atlanta and Carolina then invited him for local and 30 visits respectively
