PR/KR question

With Ginn gone to Arizona, Captain gone to Minnesota, Smitty gone to Bmore - who will return punts and kickoffs for us this year?

Underwood, Barner, Draft pick???

Do we resign Armanti Edwards. .....

It was nice not having to hold your breath every time we received a kick. What do you say

Would think Pilares / barner to start, but I'm hoping that one of our picks is a WR that can also return kicks. One big tall receiver like robinson or latimer and one short shifty guy like Ellington or Campanero. Hopefully the short shifty guys becomes our returner. That is a hidden "starting position" that we need filled.

First of all you included Smith as a kick return option...........

 

Secondly, I HATED Pilares at kick return.  He does't have elite agility and quickness that returners need.  I know, I know...he returned one in Detroit.

 

Just from sheer speed alone, I would say that Underwood would be the best option currently.

    • Link to article Seven players mentioned are... ILB Mark Robinson (PIT) - 2022 seventh round pick that was a core special teams player and was productive in the final preseason game vs. CAR (3 TKLs, 1 FF, 1 FR). Undersized at 5'11" 235 lbs.  CB O'Donnell Fortune (NYG) - UDFA rookie out of South Carolina (and a Sumter native). 6'1", 185lbs frame fits the Panthers' preference for long and lanky CBs. Panthers' evaluators got a lot of time with him during the Shrine Bowl, his pro day, and the combine. CB Damarri Mathis (DEN) - 2022 fourth-round pick that played for Evero his rookie season at 5'11" 195lbs both inside and outside. Did well under Evero (16 games, 11 starts, 65 TKLs, 7 PBUs) but slid down the depth chart after he left. Started just seven of 27 games the last two seasons. DB Dean Clark (NYJ) - Fresno State UDFA with good size (6'1" 205lbs) and preseason production (5 TKLs, 1 INT, 2 PBUs) that can also play special teams. The Panthers have claimed a player from the Jets in each of the past two seasons (having also played the Jets both times in preseason though). OLB Brennan Jackson (LAR) - 2024 fifth-rounder that notched three sacks in the preseason. Played special teams and rotated in on defense that could potentially be an upgrade from DJ Johnson. DB Beau Brade (BAL) - 2024 UDFA that appeared in 11 games and played 70% of the special teams snaps. Has the size (6'0" 209lbs) that the team covets at safety. K Ben Sauls (PIT) - 24yrs old and went four-for-four against Carolina in preseason. Made 21 of 24 FGs during his final college season at Pitt.
