Spotted Deangelo Williams At Victory Lane Karting


Recommended Posts

I decided today to be as good a day as any for my monthly trip to Victory Lane Indoor Karting for my self evaluated time-trial. Long story short, I walked in.. and there, in the lobby, sat Deangelo Williams and two other guys (I don't think either of them were players). I went about my business, trying not to be a homer.

After my first stint, Williams and his boys came out into the track area to try their hand at it. They jawed about with the workers for a few moments before strapping in. D-Will had the fast time of the bunch at a 47.8X. My fast lap rang in at a 45.2X for comparison and I'm 5'7 100lbs. Fast lap of the day is 43.XX. Fast lap for a league driver would be a 41.XX.

I only ran that one stint and then I was done. I go there to train and see where the weak points are in my body (I plan on running their league once up to snuff).

On my way out I shook his hand and wished him luck on the forthcoming season. He acknowledged in appreciation and said thank you.

It was a pretty good day.

I've never had the privilege to meet a panthers player before. Even if I did have an opportunity I'd keep my distance for the reason that I believe that they might not want to be bothered.

This was my thought as well. Some douche there asked for a picture.. A simple handshake I figured was harmless enough.

    • Jamaree Salyer would be an excellent signing. I hope we are looking at him.
    • The Panthers are Pickett's 5th team in 5 years. Howell's next team will be his 5th. I don't think the league thinks that much of either of them. They're just warm bodies, at this point. 
    • 10 players I wouldn't mind the Panthers signing that are still available:  - CB Nate Hobbs (Packers): Was just released this morning. Could be a very solid nickel upgrade for us.  - CB Kader Kohou (Dolphins): Solid slot corner who shouldn't break the bank and could be an upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade.  - OT Jamaree Salyer (Chargers): Had an underrated year with the Chargers (68.2 PFF pass block grade, 61.5 run block grade) and is still young enough (25) to continue developing.  - OT Jawaan Taylor (Chiefs): Depending on price, could be a good short-term option at LT while we figure things out long-term.  - WR Jauan Jennings (49ers): If we're going to add a FA receiver, I think Jennings makes a lot of sense but the price may be a bit too high for a slot receiver.  - WR John Metchie III (Jets): A cheaper option at slot receiver who has experience playing with Bryce at Alabama. Low risk/high reward type signing.  - WR Calvin Austin III (Steelers): Likely an "in between" option relative to Jennings and Metchie, but another solid option in the slot.  - LB Leo Chenal (Chiefs): I think we'll target another starting ILB in the draft, but we could also opt to pair Chenal with Devin Lloyd and check that need off the list early.  - OC Matt Hennessy (49ers): Could be a decent stop-gap starter at center and solid depth if nothing else.  - OC Andre James (Chargers): Was a backup last year for the Chargers (for some reason; he couldn't have been worse than what they had starting) but was solid for the Raiders the year before.
