Panthers Add Virginia Tech TE Bucky Hodges to Practice Squad

[WOW!!]

Love this pick up.. Give him a year to bulk up for blocking and this could be a steal...

[rmoneyg35]

Awesome. Maybe he won't be anything but he has great measurables but is raw. If we can coach him maybe he could be Olsens replacement in a few years. His potential is that great but me could still be a bust.

[Jeremy Igo]

Knew he sounded familiar

he drops easy passes and couldnt block a 5 year old

I had a fourth round grade on him. He compares a lot to Funchess.

Solid pickup with high upside.

NFL Comparison: Devin Funchess

 

Temuchin "Bucky" Hodges  lol

great pickup for what we sacrificed. Didn't draft him and Garrett is essentially a swap of raw receiving options with upside.

Hodges is more of the newer style of TE....much more of a receiver than blocker and very raw, but with a high ceiling if he can put it together. We gave up nothing for him and he will have time to learn from one of the greats. No threat in 2017 but could kick up some dust in TC next summer if he wants it. He was more in the Evan Engram/David Njoku style of TE and reminds me more of a Darren Waller  move kind of TE.

I wanted to use a 5th or 6th round pick to get him in the draft.. Now that we spent nothing to get him makes me really excited.

Marty Hurney has made some nice personnel moves this month.

homerism.

Should note that he suffered a concussion in the preseason and was waived/injured by the Vikings and eventually reached an injury settlement as a result.
