Wow, I don't like the sound of that at all... he certainly didn't seem to be suffering from a shoulder injury when he was swimming around offensive linemen in the nat'l championship game?

This makes me wonder if he's been sitting around eating donuts instead of preparing for the combine.

I'd say it's not good for him either way.

If his injury isn't all that severe, some might question his attitude and/or commitment.

If his injury is indeed severe enough that this is warranted, then execs will start pondering "just how bad is that shoulder?"

Wouldn't necessarily expect him to drop him (especially not if he takes part in Auburn's pro day) but execs take a lot of "mental notes" about this kind of thing.

Anybody remember Sapp putting up 225 only 16 times. He turned out okay.

Teams will want him to lift at some point. He might be trying to improve his reps before pro day. Or private workouts.

Or he might be scared. Or injured.

I think that covers it.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
