Deathbacker

[Mr. Scot]

So here's an SB Nation article primarily about hybrid tight ends, but including a discussion of the hybridization of other positions in the NFL.

 

NFL Draft 2013: Breaking Down the Joker Tight Ends

 

Author Danny Kelly talks about hybrid TE/WRs whom he calls "Jokers" and FB/TEs whom we already know as "H-Backs".  Combinations RB/WRs and QB/RBs are in there too (Cam Newton is mentioned) but those combos don't get fun nicknames.

 

Another combo does though, specifically a hybrid of linebacker and safety.

 

Kelly says some in the NFL call this position "Deathbacker" :blink:

 

So, anyone we know on the Panthers that might fit this designation?

 

(like maybe, a guy who was drafted to play safety but moved to outside linebacker instead) B)

Harper, considering hes as fast as the average linebacker

Nice.

 

Yea, Davis is pretty close.

 

 

[Cary Kollins]

weird seeing that Hernandez gif.

 

That was after he had already committed double-murder, allegedly.

Thomas "Deathback" Davis...

Has a nice ring to it.

[DaveThePanther2008]

We all know TD fits that bill.

Harper, considering hes as fast as the average linebacker

I'm pretty sure every linebacker on your team can outrun Harper lol.

I thought this was a thread about removing smokeless tobacco from baseball.

 

Davis is the definition of Deathbacker.

[Mr. Scot]

Pretty sure a lot of guys who have taken hits from Thomas Davis would agree with calling him this.

[xerxes]

Carolina calls it the Spur position. Deathbacker seems a bit melodramatic for my tastes.

[Mr. Scot]

Video evidence...

[PandaPancake]

Deathbacker would be the greatest last name

Came for the Deathbacker, stayed for the TD highlights.
