About his game:

-High motor, 100% all the time, "that" relentless guy

-Compares himself to James Harrison and DeMarcus Ware mentality wise

-Sounds like he knows what to say...seems like someone Rivera would definitely like here

About the Panthers:

-We have a great defense with just a few patches left to fill

-Playing against Cam and Trent Richardson types has made him understand how to really tackle

-Explained how he's been coached to keep going and don't stand up on blocks etc. etc.

-It sounds like Dallas is the team that really likes him so far

I like what I heard. He comes off as a man of few words. He doesn't elaborate or exaggerate on answers. He sounds like he's choosing his words carefully but perks up when asked a football question.

Peculiar covered it all. I found it interesting when the Panthers told him that they had a few holes to fill. He could be the guy that fills one of them.

What I like about him more than anyone else is I feel like he can play anywhere on the D line. If someone goes down or needs a breather we can keep talented guys on the field for more snaps.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
