Panthers sign DT Antwon Burton!

[Sam Mills Fan]

Sweet!

[Mr. Scot]

Haven't checked, but I wonder if he's the son of former Panthers DT Shane Burton.

See any resemblance?

The defensive tackles that will be called upon to stuff Felix Jones and Marion Barber: Damione Lewis! An injured Nick Hayden! Sonny Harris! Antwon Burton!

Shane Burton with dreads would have kicked all sorts of ass.

report of him when he was drafted in 06

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2006/draft/players/48003.html

NEGATIVES: Lacks balance, is overweight and is constantly on the ground. Marginal pass-rushing skills. Injuries hampered him in the past.

Sounds to just be your typical fatty who sits and doesn't make plays....but can tackle if you run at him.

I guess he must be better than Marlon Favorite, right?
