Rookie Camp MVP - Damiere Byrd

[Jeremy Igo]

Yesterday I told you how Damiere Byrd (UDFA WR-USC) stood out to me during his first practice. That kind of quickness is hard to ignore. 

 

Well, today, Damiere solidified my notions as he put on a clinic of sorts. During the final team drills after the installations, Byrd made play after play. More plays, in fact, than Devin Funchess made. On one long pass, Byrd was knocked down and landed awkwardly on his rear (players were not in pads). He limped to the sideline, and concerns over his size and injuries sank in. However, Byrd was able to recover and soon thereafter had yet another 20+ yard reception. 

 

After practice, with ice strapped to his rear, he told me he was feeling good and could barely stop from grinning. 

 

While there is a long way to go in proving himself enough for a practice squad (or even regular roster? ) position with the Panthers, Byrd could not have asked for a better start to his pro career.

But usc is bad and should feel bad and stuffs. But really thats great news I would definitely feel better if he gets to 185 though for sure.

The kid has the legs of a 190+ player. A little upper body work and he will get there.

He is the opposite of guys like Joe Adams who had sticks for legs.

that could be good news though. We recall someone else that didnt do much work with his arms but had ginormous legs. If only he can learn the ways lf the bunny hop catch.

Rookie Camp MVP? Sounds like a new achievement for Madden '16 career mode

I'm both interested and a little scared for when he gets "his fanny tagged" the first time.

I think he may make it over Bersin, Hill, and some other guys because of his ST play. That's where Byrd's real value is. And no, I'm not talking about as a returner. I'm talking about as a gunner.

David Newton said he probably won't make the roster. MVP or not.

[Jeremy Igo]

Lol

[JJman Returns]

He'll likely make the practice squad if nothing else.

Long way to go before deciding that
