First on the field, Chuba Hubbard (he will also probably be the last one off as well, if history proves to be true).

My view from #Panthers Day 3 training camp practice. Derrick Brown (95) is back. A 24-year-old Bryce Young is here. Let’s go.

Derrick Brown is back after missing a couple of days due to personal reasons.

 

 

Thank you for doing this.  Cheers

Damn go go gadget arms. LOL 

I’ve seen college players doing this in warm-ups purposefully. It shows his reach I guess but at this point I’m not sold that Horn won’t end up being more beneficial considering the type of ball Bryce likes to play.

I am so glad we didn’t overthink our pick. Dude is a fuggin stud at WR 

Would rather have had Matthew Golden if we were going to go receiver. He’s going to go for 1,000 plus this year. Reminds me a lot of Antonio Brown.

The difference is that T-Mac also regularly did it in games throughout his career too, he's not doing it just to be flashy in practice, he legitimately practices it because he's able to translate it to gamedays.

Also, as I've said so many times but some people still don't like to see it for some reason, T-Mac is a such a perfect fit for Bryce that it's not even funny.  Bryce excels with two things in particular, placing the ball with touch and improvising.

T-Mac is outstanding at finding holes in the coverage on broken plays and giving his QB a big target to find, it's what him and his college QB (who was also his HS QB) did best.  And because of his absurd catch radius, it allows Bryce to put those touch passes in a place that only T-Mac can catch it.

Horn is going to be great to get the ball to in space, but realistically, pure speedsters are best with strong armed QB's who can take advantage of the deep ball and throwing it past the defense for the WR to run under it, that's not Bryce.

I'm for having a variety of receivers with different strengths. Honestly, Horn is likely to be used primarily as a return man as a rookie. Can't see finding a lot of snaps for him in front of T-Mac, XL, Coker, Renfrow, and Thielen. I mean, he's gonna be the #6 WR/return man injuries aside.

I actually think that as long as he has a solid camp and makes the team (which is more likely than not), that Horn will have a bigger role than some expect, because he really is just different than any of the others.

Most #6 WR's won't even be active on game days, let alone get any snaps.  But his speed/agility is unique compared to the rest of the WR unit to where they're going to have plays in the game plan every week to utilize him.  Even if at times he's just out there as a decoy to keep safeties honest by having him run some go routes, or putting him in motion for play action to force the defense to react.
