Pics/video From Kick Cf

As promised, here's some photos and videos I took from the third row in the Providence High School stadium at Kick CF. Attendees included: Gross (duh), Cam, Smitty, Stew, DeAngelo, TD, Beason, Olsen (my girl's new obsession), Kalil, Bell, Travelle Wharton, and more.

It was only $10 per person, and it wasn't even that crowded. Maybe filled up half of one side of the stadium. This made it even more "intimate" than training camp. Players were good about interacting with fans/signing autographs. As usual, Cam was the star of the show. He clowned on everyone: teammates, fans, and the Power Players. This is one of the many reasons why I'm glad I moved to Charlotte in 2010; not only easier to get to and from games, but many more chances to see our players in a more personal setting.

Jordan Gross raised about $100K for CF research through this event, I believe. Win-win for everyone involved.

Smitty bout to go all Ken Lucas on Cam:

And here's the videos I took. Camera was on a low battery so I could only film a little bit, but figured the Cam segments would probably be the most entertaining.

If you live in Charlotte and had nothing to do yesterday and still didn't go to this, shame on you. But there's always next year. Enjoy.

CF stands for Cystic Fibrosis, if anyone is curious. It is an autosomal recessive chromosome disorder, affecting children of European ancestry mainly. If you have two parents who are carriers, there's a 25% chance the child has it. It is somewhat rare.

That's a great thing organized and brought to life by the players. It looked fun and hopefully it will help someone out there.

Thanks for the videos, what a tiny field! Was every kick over the fence?

There were several, but not as many as you might think. For example, Stew's first outing was embarrassing. He kicked one foul, then another, then popped up another foul and it was caught for an out. He slunk back to the bench, and Cam got up from his spot on the bench and pointed down at the seat, demanding Stew sit. It was pretty funny, and Stew laughed it off and gave Cam a shove.

After that, DeAngelo went up and kicked a home run and Stew ran on the field to run the bases with him (ala Hank Aaron in the 70's I presume) and they did their double trouble dance thing at home plate.

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