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.

    • I freakin hated Brian Dawkins lol.  Dude was just an executioner.  One of the last guys who made a career out of teeing up defenseless receivers.
    • Drake London's stats.  I think a lot of Panthers fans would be calling him a bust before year 3.  
    • Not sure what you're trying to say here, at least in terms of why this was the response to my post. I'm not saying he's going to struggle, I'm saying the exact opposite, that he's going to be a successful rookie directly because he's NOT a developmental project. I've said before my expectations are 800 yards and 10 TDs, but he very well could get over 1,000. I'm not going to EXPECT 1,000 because I do think we're going to be a run first team and Thielen is still going to be Bryce's safety valve just because of their history together, so it's unrealistic for me to say that's my expectation, but it's certainly more than possible.  And if you were to tell me right now that Thielen has 600 or less yards this year, then I'd change my T-Mac expectation to the 1,000 yard mark, but I think it's more likely that Thielen leads the team in yards if he plays a full season healthy and then T-Mac explodes in year 2 for 1,200+ when all those Thielen targets are up for grabs.
