According to Anthony Rizzuti of Panthers Wire, the four standouts are (FWIW):

 

Hunter Renfrow 

Jimmy Horn

Princely Umanmielen

Demani Richardson

 

The Huddle has discussed Renfrow, Horn, and Umanmielen. There hasn't  been too much discussion about Richardson

Demani can end up being a player, the opportunity is there for him, I think he would be the best FS we have. 

We need someone to step up at FS. That was an obvious roster hole coming into camp.

If Richardson can work out, we may have a pretty good S group.

I may be reading too much into this, but the comments from Canales about Horn don't really indicate good news. He compares him to Deven Thompkins, whom he said he loves, and Thompkins had a really good camp last year and was creating separation and making plays just about every day. But Thompkins was cut. And when we did bring him back, it wasn't for any real meaningful snaps. And then we cut him again. That's not a guy I would want to be compared to.

Granted, we did draft Horn, and Horn isn't Thompkins, but Canales praised Horn as a guy that made other guys better, not as a guy that was playing well. And I think there is a clear difference. 

Just trying to see through the coach speak.

Hey, at least your opinion is honest and insightful. I would've never thought about the comparison as critically as you have hadn't you posted it.

I think what hurt Thompkins was he wasn't good enough on special teams to warrant a full time roster spot. Horns only realistic shot is there as well. But he may just unseat Coker as wr4 the way hes playing, if Renfrow hasn't beat him to it already.

I don't see Horn beating out Coker. Coker was the 2nd best receiver last year behind Adam Thielen. Time and Time again he made the catch that XL couldn't.

He doesn't have to beat out Coker.  He has to beat out David Moore.

I have seen a few reports saying Horn's speed is a difference maker in the passing game as something we really do not have - a field stretching talent probably in the slot that opens up plays that no one else can unlock for us.  That makes him much more valuable than Moore, since DM is good as a #6 receiver but not great at anything.  Also saw some guys saying Horn has been very difficult to cover in TC all around, plus is possibly huge in ST.  I still predict if we carry 6 WR's he is locked and DM is out.

      I think that looked much better on Bryce's part than tmacs.  He made a really good adjustment to the ball but his separation is what is always going to worry me, he had absolutely none with Jackson on that play, Bryce threw him open.

      I wouldn't be mad at it. I often call Luke "the best ILB that I've ever seen," and I've watched the game in earnest since I was nine, but I think there is more going on with Steve Smith---meaning it's political---than perhaps should be. I understand that he was not the nicest person---an asshole at times basically. People don't or didn't like him. That being said, he's still 8th all time in receiving yards, ahead of guys who have their gold jackets:   * Marvin Harrison (9th)  * Andre Johnson (11th)  * James Lofton (12th)  * Cris Carter (13th)   At some point, Smitty has to be inducted solely based upon the numbers (not to mention producing big results at his stature in a big man's game). I can see the snub early due to his temperament, but I hope it doesn't become a "thing," and I don't think Panthers fans, or NFL fans in general, should stay silent about it if it does.

      for those who can't see the Twitter post, I'm assuming this post is about the list published in February with Greg and TD?    https://sports.yahoo.com/10-great-nfl-players-eligible-035121461.html
