Rivera mentions Nate Chandler


Recommended Posts

One thing I have noticed over the coarse of Coach Rivera's tenure here in Carolina is that when he mentions or doesn't mention a player to the media it is pretty significant. With that being said.

During a press interview today, Coach Rivera specifically mentions the play of undrafted rookie DT Nate Chandler. Other than the basics from the website (6-4, 300 pounds, UCLA) does anyone know much about him or what he has been doing at camp? He must be impressing some people to be mentioned.

Anyone got any insider information?

I remember reading that he was surprised NFL teams were interested in him. Had a poor college career. I haven't noticed him out there but I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Rivera was saying yesterday he thinks every guy on the roster can help this team and that's why they are in camp. That's nice to say and all but the reality is some guys are fodder.

Bell, Keiser, and Adams were all active at one point last year... so it's not unheard of.

Edit: Seyi Ajirotutu, Antwan Applewhite, Richie Brockel, Byron Bell, Thomas Keiser, Darvin Adams, J.J. Jansen, Olindo Mare, Ogemdi Nwagbuo, Andre Neblett, Jordan Senn, Mike Tolbert, Roger Allen, Josh Vaughn, Garry Williams, Kion Wilson, Bryant Browning, Jeff Byers, Joe Jon Finley, Greg Smith, Jared Green, Tauren Poole, Lyndon Rowells, Hubert Anyiam, Michael Avila, Brenton Bersin, Will Blackwell, Matt Reynolds, Lamont Bryant, Nate Chandler, Nelson Rosario, Ryan Van Bergen, and Rico Wallace are all former undrafted free agents who are on the current Panthers roster lol.

    • There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years. 
    • All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens
    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
