Panthers sign Alliance league player

[TheSpecialJuan]

Panthers signed WR Rashad Ross.

A 2013 undrafted free agent, Ross bounced around the back end of NFL rosters before shining for the "Arizona Hotshots" in the AAF. He posted a robust 36 catches 583 yards 7TD's 16.2 ave line across eight games. No spring chicken — Ross turned 29 in February — he will need to light up padless practices before having a strong preseason to crack the Panthers' 53-man roster.

Interesting sign. 29 year old WR whos bounced around from camp to camp.  7 total career college TDs 6 coming last year.  8 NFL teams in 6 years.  in 8 games with AAF was 1st with 7 TD grabs. 2nd guy was Charles Johnson with 5 Tds.

Camp body?

It could take the place of drafting a late round WR and saves the pick for something else. They still might take a WR in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th but they probably won't late unless somebody really great falls.

The guy dominated the AAF and while that’s not saying much, there were several fringe NFL caliber players in the league so he’s got a better chance than most day 3 picks or UDFAs from the upcoming draft. Not a bad move.

He's also a kick returner. 

[Black&BlueBubba]

Never know.  Might save us $5 mil for Torrey.  All for that. 

[Tepper's Chest Hair]

I expect he will be there for KR/PR and that last spot that Byrd just vacated.

[Captain Morgan]

just glad we're watching these kind of guys

Just look how excited he is to be joining a great organization like the Panthers.
