I know that highlight reels are always ‘best of’ but this guy could be the real deal at TE.  Effective blocking inline and great hands across the middle of the field.  He could be starter in year 2.

If he can play like that in preseason he might battle his way into playing this season.

Yes please. He's not just a blocker, her had good hands. Certainly not a speed demon, but if her gets open and doesn't let the first tackler bring him down, he's all right in my book!

Big ND fan here.... Evans can and will block.  Those ND boys won't see the field if they can'r run block.  He's going to be like Will Dissey or Jake Ferguson.  If you keep out three TE's together you will have something cooking.  Sanders is the outlier, pure receiving TE.  TT and Evans are pretty similar that they play a solid all around game.  We got a good one if he can stay healthy

I honestly think the three tight ends we have make a complete group that complements each other enough that we don't need one to be a superstar for the TE room for the position to be of strength against any team.

I was just coming in to say that exact thing.

JT could be our TE1.

Evans could surprise - I may be the most surprised value wise with his pick (along with Scourton).  He has legit all-around Y/F/T usage ability.   Great blocker, great hands, some unexpected shiftiness for his size.

And I've always been a Tremble fan.  He's a great TE2 who has made plays and knows how to block.  He's not a world beater, but he fills his role very well.

    • You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again. 
    • Damn that was a longer post than I intended, Maybe I should have started a new thread.
    • On that TD, he sure didn't get any help from Scott at FS! While we're pointing out Blue Chips...Horn has proven to be a lock-down, (dare I say)elite CB and DB is one of the best at DT. Which brings me to a topic that has unfortunately been much on my mind lately...2026. Our important (IMO) FAs are: Rico Dowdle - As you pointed out, Etienne is developing nicely and Brooks is still untested potential, so not a big loss. Cade Mays and Brady Christensen - I think we can keep both without breaking the bank. BC tested the market this year and it was all but non-existent. He's a solid backup, but backup linemen don't get paid. Mayes is our only starter on the line who's a FA and he's technically not a starter. Corbett is a FA, but good riddance as far as I'm concerned. He stays hurt and can't snap the damn ball when he is healthy. Hunter Renfrow signed a 1 -year prove it deal, and will resign a team friendly deal again I think. He has repeatedly said that he only wants to play here and is Coker's backup anyway. DJ Wonnum - Solid mid-tier guy that I would like back, but is easily replaceable. I will not cry if he walks. Every other FA is bottom of the barrel roster fillers. As it stands now, we need (in order); QB, ILB, OL/DL depth, secondary depth. If we resign Mays, OL is in tact again and still pretty darned good. Horne, Jackson, and Smith-Wade are solid starters as are T-mac and Coker. We have some promising young WRs in Tremayne and Horn. I see us trying to get a FA Chain mover and/or resign Renfrow. RB room looks really good. TE is a conundrum, Tremble will never be a great pass catcher and Sanders will never be a great blocker. Evans is starting to show signs of life, but not enough to tell yet. This could be another spot we try to upgrade via free agency, having a proven TE could really help our rookie QB.
