Lanoris Sellers = Cam lite?

[Jmac]

What are your thoughts on Sellers?  Big frame and big arm at 6'3 and 245 lbs. Shades of Cam Newton. Complete opposite of Young. Could be the answer to what they need. He needs some refinment, but the intangibles are sky high. Looks like a smart guy and not a problem child. He will be a high QB prospect no doubt.

If we're in position and he is there, he will absolutely be the pick. He goes to South Carolina after all

[frankw]

He should be under consideration absolutely. But there's a whole lot of time between now and the draft and there will be QB's who rise and fall.

[csx]

Has to show a lot more to be a top pick. I like him but nothing special so far

[CRA]

He got a ways to go to catch Cam the collegiate passer.  Gonna be hard to develop a lot this year you would think given the SC OL

so to an extent, he seems to potentially be like some other Gamecocks that have entered the draft recently.  Physical tools make you really want the guy…..no one really close that could come out have near the tools

[LinvilleGorge]

Just let him be him. I think folks have forgotten how utterly dominant Cam was. Auburn was unranked at the beginning of the season. They had minimal NFL talent on that roster. Cam still won a Heisman and carried them to an SEC championship and national championship. Sellers isn't that. Not at this stage. Cam had what has to be considered one of the greatest college seasons ever.

probably more Josh Allen than Cam in terms of college comps

I'll take it

Right now he’s a little more advanced Anthony Richardson.

Ive posted conspiracy theories about us being interested in him for months.  Hes an elite physical specimen with elite intangibles.  Hes got to show an improvement passing and reading defenses this season though.  If he does he will be the #1 pick.

[Panthering]

Goes to S.C., great athletic traits, raw in some aspects, yeah he’ll be a Panther for sure. 

[UnluckyforSome]

He has some potential, but I really think he would benefit by either staying another year, or sitting at the NFL level. There is a little bit of Richardson bust risk there. That said, we will probably draft him if we have the chance, start him day 1, and all be shocked when he is terrible as well.

I heard this a while back and it made me re-think the player Cam was. Nic Fairly(2nd round? early? or mid 1st?), Panthers drafted late 7th Lee Zimba(sp??), and a mid-round DB who's name escapes me. There maybe more, but not many more names. 

That is truly remarkable to overcome. Now he was drafted by Panthers and they did have RBs, IOL, and Olsen. Still on the extreme lower talent level compared to other QB and the depth of WRs, OTs, and coaches. 

Cam won the divII championship before the national one. What a career of lifting.......

I can assure you if we are first overall he’s going to return to SC.
