Panthers Add Virginia Tech TE Bucky Hodges to Practice Squad

Panthers adding a possible spark to the TE #2 position?

6'6", 250 lbs, 4.58 at the Combine

Interesting. But I can really focus on right now are those tub and bathroom photos.

If he was anywhere close to being TE2 material right now, he wouldn't be signed to the PS.

[d-dave]

I remember folks talking about his desire and work ethic.  Much more a receiving TE, not much of a blocker.

[Bartin]

Really like this move. Garrett felt like he had run his course and didn't have any upwards potential and Hodges is a big, athletic TE who could develop into something solid.

[Jesse]

Fun fact, I played against Bucky when he was a freshman. He's a smart guy who is a damn good athlete. Good pick up tbh.

[Hoenheim]

Get Sanjay in here he was all over the TE prospects of this year's draft 

I dont know if this move means much if Greg and Dickson stay healthy. That means though we have 2 really talented players on the PS Armah and Hodges. 

He seems to be good at pass catching deep throws and contested ones.. Can he block though? Thats the only way hed manage to ever see the active roster, considering Greg is one of the best pass catching TEs in the game .

I like these developmental prospects that have been brought after the off season.  Need to have an eye towards the future.  He's raw but big and athletic as all hell so we'll see what the coaching staff can pull out of him.

LOL @ anybody that thinks Dickenson is going to be replaced this season.

Agreed. He's got the tools so it's worth an extended look at him to see if he can turn into anything. If not then whatever. No real harm done.

All these replies and not a single mention of @sanjay_rajput ? What gives

[YoungPanthers89]

He'll be very lucky to be a TE3

[Zaximus]

He's immediately a better catching TE than Dickson, blocking though, not sure.    Who really needs to be signed is Barnidge but hey. lol
