I haven't seen any thread about it so i decided to go ahead and put this kids name out there. It is more than likely this could be just a blip or even a rookie camp trial thing. But, if he does make it past this stage I think his chances of making atleast the practice squad like Byrd could be promising. Forget CMC speed....I would even chuckle off Samuels being Faster than this kid. We are talking Maybe the fastest player in the league. Bracy was a talented 4 star all-american Wideout entering FSU a few years ago after watching him catch one-handed catches during the all american game I came away drooling at the mouth at the potential he could have for my Seminoles...Sadly before he could get through the summer workouts,The Olympics came calling...Yes this kid right out of highschool was clocking 10.1 times in the hundred yard dash and has been timed as low as 9.93 in the 100 meters.

*UPDATED did a little digging to find the UA Clip.

Insane catch at the UA game. Also cameo from Corn Elder.

Were talking about a kid who in 2012 ran the worlds fastest indoor 55 meter run at 6.08-seconds.os-fsu-kermit-whitfield-cousin-marvin-br

After being all but the slowest team in the NFL I am very excited about all the speed that we are trying to get into our offense. This will make for an exciting camp.

Yall better write this down because this will most likely be the first and only time you hear this name with the Panthers. 

I'm not so certain that's true.

Rivera raved about him after Friday's minicamp. Granted, it's only minicamp, but all we're talking about here is a shot at the training camp roster.

When was the last time that there was speed like this on the squad? Speed to burn!! How are his hands? 

Let this clip show you how good his hands are. I think a lot of people are thinking this is a track guy trying to play football,but this kid was a football player from day 1. But given the choice between 4 years of college and a Rio Invite to turn pro right out highschool not many people would turn that way. Also a cameo of Corn Elder in the video...

Man would I love to see a:

Samuel Byrd Bracy wide out package for straight up verticals, Olsen work the middle and McCaffrey as designated dump off. 

How could one defend this? The safeties would have to play deep or bracket thus leaving one burner. Olsen would outmatch the linebacker. McCaffrey could possibly gain outrageous yards due to all the speed pushing the backend deep and Olsen preoccupying the linebacker. 

There be so much illegal contact by the defense because you do not to be beat deep by the burners. 

 

Just cut CJ2 and let the WR crew be: KB, DF(trade him for a bag of Doritos), Samuel, Shepard, Byrd and Bracy.

 

This team needs to use speed as a trap to set up plays.

This makes me happy as fug...our offense has been slow in all aspects...maybe the FO finally realizes it and willing to address it. SPEED KILLS

KB and Olsen came out with a lot of help from this draft. Defenses now have to respect the speed element which helps them not to be doubled as much and not making Cam force throws.

I may be unhitching myself from the Byrd train as well, and hitching it to Bracy's lol.  I remembered seeing him and hearing about him during the Olympics, but didn't realize we had him until someone tweeted about him yesterday.  The problem historically with the Olympic Track-Hopeful guys is that they mostly only excelled in football because of their speed, but not necessarily any actual football skills.  Even our own Michael Bates was a WR who didn't play WR, lol, he was just so damn fast that he could return kicks (and cover them) like nobody's business.  In Bracy's case, he appears to possibly be the exception to the rule.  He was a 4-star recruit, went to a college football powerhouse as evidence, but then went after his dreams in track...  Regardless, he appears to have some natural football instincts and skills aside from his world-class speed - looks to be a natural hands catcher and his speed translates to the field.  Also, FWIW, IIRC, Voth tweeted yesterday during the practice to keep an eye out on Bracy as a guy to possibly emerge from camp.  I'm hopeful about this guy and stoked about our overall upgrade in the speed category across the board.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.

      It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
