OK Folks - Training Camp Coverage - What dark horse players are you interested in ?

[dpm0409]

No idea if dark horse is the right term for these guys necessarily, but I'm interested in Ian Thomas, Donte Jackson, Alex Armah, Daeshon Hall, and Da'Norris Searcy.

What lesser known Panthers players are you interested in?

Odaba and Hall....

 

If you could get updates out on those 2, I'd love you forever, I really like the Odaba story and what he showed in pre-season last year, and Hall... I just wanna hope he's not a bust, but nobody knows yet 

[Moo Daeng]

Bonofan, Obada

[Mol3m4n]

Not sure if he's considered a dark horse, but I want everything about Damiere Byrd.

[Beast_3000]

Dameire Byrd, D Hall, Obada and the UDFA offensive lineman from Penn St.

I want Norwell back

Not a dark horse, but I feel like DJ Moore is really lacking in hype. It seems like his laid back personality off field may be a reason for that, but I’d like to hear some hype on the guy.

Ian Thomas for sure. I’m feeling like he’s got an opportunity and could surprise with a quicker start, especially under Norv. And in a similar vein, Armah’s progress.

Anybody fighting for a spot in the secondary.

Daeshon Hall, Wes Horton, and Efe.

Would love to see if Byrd has a place in this offense with as loaded as our WR group is at the present time. I believe he’s earned it but may be the odd man out barring an injury or something significant.

[The Lobo]

For sure, Hall.

[Saca312]

I want to know if Curtis Samuel will have an expanded role offensively, alongside whether his ability of catching outside his frame has also improved.

Daeshon Hall is another good name. Also interested in Donte Jackson and Damiere Byrd.

These may be real dark horses but we have a knack of taking under-valued LBs (David Mayo anyone?) and making them more than serviceable. I think our two late round LB picks (Jermaine Carter out of Maryland and Andre Smith from UNC) are fighting for one spot. Which one can step up and proves to be the next in the line of great Panther linebackers. My money is on Smith being fully healed from his ACL and proving that he was a steal.

Idunno, I like Smith ALOT but considering Jermaine Carter Jr was a Two-time All-Big Ten selection(HM) and on the Bednarik Award watchlist for best defensive player in the nation... I wouldn't count him out. Should be interesting competition, to say the least. If they both pan out ... Hurney will have redeemed himself in my eyes.

My coverage picks...Haynes (Who I think will end up being the steal in the long run), Butler's improvement, Hall, Obada, Horton's improvement...DB/G/WR competition. Could go on & on..
