6-6 275.... That's a big SOB for a TE. If he can block and play special teams he may have a better chance than y'all think for the Panthers who use the TE more like an outside guard.

Yeah, I was thinking that while I was typing my response. I must remember who our team is. Although King is excellent at blocking and also at catching, (just not yards after the catch), a man that big might be hard to ignore, (though we don't often go for big men often)...

I found another site that states he is 6-4, but that is still pretty tall.

With such low stats in three seasons, I would think his specialty is blocking though.

All I could find

Overview

The former minor league baseball player figures to be a key part of Arkansas’ offense in 2008 at tight end/H-back. An effective blocker on the edge in the running game, he also has good hands and is adept at running after the catch in the passing game. He enters fall camp listed as the second-team tight end behind sophomore D.J. Williams. He had a solid spring with two catches for 20 yards in the Red-White Spring Game. In the two other major scrimmages, he had five catches for a team-high 113 yards on April 11 and two receptions for 28 yards on April 19. In the first scrimmage, he had a long reception of 63 yards and a 22-yard touchdown catch from Casey Dick.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers are taking another chance with a former minor league baseball player.

The franchise that once drafted and started quarterback Chris Weinke claimed rookie tight end Andrew Davie off waivers from the New York Jets on Thursday. The 26-year-old spent four seasons in the St. Louis Cardinals farm system before switching to football.

The 6-foot-4, 275-pound Davie caught 24 passes for 199 yards and six touchdowns in three season at Arkansas. He went undrafted in April and signed with the Jets.

Davie will provide depth in training camp behind starting tight end Jeff King and backups Dante Rosario and Gary Barnidge.

hello fodder.

Not so fast... he looks to have the tools 6'4" to 6'6' 275lbs 4.95 40, six TD's as a backup. Solid blocker with good hands and good after the catch. It looks like he was stuck behind a better guy, but may be able to compete for a spot.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      it's pretty simple IMO.  The Tepper Panthers are the most unsuccessful professional sports in all of sports.  The problem isn't the posters here have changed.  The product dictates the atmosphere more than anything.  In reality, the daily convos about THE worst team in all of pro sports on a fanatics site....is going to feature harsh and critical convo.  Only one entity can actually change that.  It's the Carolina Panthers football team.

      Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      if you believe he is watching every NFL game.....every week.....go right ahead.  I get it, he said something you like.  But that's like believing the talking heads on the ESPN shows are watching all the games.  You think Stephen A is watching the Panthers every Sunday too?  If Stephen A needs to go on First Take he certainly can pretend like he has watched every snap any player on the roster has taken lol.   No one is that isn't a Panther fan has been watching the 9-25 career go down every Sunday.  Or even a lot of Sunday's.  You know who knows more about Bryce Young than Long? The collective huddle.  What they are reviewing is stat sheets, highlights and in summaries.  It's an old formula lol.
