Yahoo Sports compares 2016 Draft prospects to NFL players

[tiger7_88]

And two of them (according to Eric Edholm of Yahoo Sports) compare favorably to two Panther's players.

(No, he didn't compare any current prospect to Cam... that would be silly, lol.)

Ohio State RB Ezekiel Elliott
Comp: Jonathan Stewart

This one was very tough. Parts of Elliott’s game remind us of Le’Veon Bell, but he’s not nearly established yet as the receiver Bell has become. Elliott has vision like Bell and Arian Foster and can put his foot in the ground and burst forward effortlessly, But he’s built a little more like Stewart, who is a criminally underrated runner when healthy. Unfortunately, his career has been slowed by annual injuries — and he still has been very good. Elliott projects to a Day 1 starting back who projects best to a one-cut run game and can develop as a receiver over time. His balance, effort and drive are outstanding and exactly fit the kind of back this cyclical league slowly is seeking more of.

Florida CB Vernon Hargreaves
Comp: Josh Norman

Let us clarify: Norman was a highly confident but slightly slower-to-develop prospect and a fifth-round pick. Hargreaves projects to be a first-rounder, and a high one at that, and was a blue-chip prospect coming out of high school. If you take the level at which Norman has played since midseason last year, that’s the projection for where Hargreaves can reach. Both are slight of frame but extremely confident with elite ball skills and coverage ability. They each want to face the best of the best, and it shows in the tape.
