With a top speed of 21.5 mph, new #Panthers WR Rashad Ross was credited with the fastest play of 2015 on this return.

A SUN DEVIL, MANNNNNN Ross also has lots of returner experience - helpful for the Panthers, who lost Damiere Byrd in FA to the Cardinals.

The #Panthers speedy WR corps, with Curtis Samuel and DJ Moore, just got even faster. Ross is a burner. Don’t know if he’ll pan out after jumping around the NFL, but definitely worth a flier.

Field Yates Retweeted Adam Schefter

He was the MVP of the AAF.

But is he made of glass like Byrd?

[DeAngelo Beason]

I actually think when players excel in other leagues, like Europe, Canada, or the AAF, it shows just how important SYSTEM is for certain players.  Some guys can really thrive in the right system, regardless of their pedigree.

NFL Experience? - check

Return Experience? - check

Has speed? - check

Absolutely nothing wrong with this type of signing to replace a similar player in Byrd.

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

And possibly more pressure on Torrey's agent if we are negotiating a <$5m deal. It's a tough business.

Fans in DC had high hopes for him. I actually thought the Panthers should have reached out to acquire him then since the Skins were absolutely STACKED at WR back then. I mean they had an embarrassment of riches at the position so he was stuck behind guys like DJack, Pierre Garcon, Jamison Crowder, Ryan Grant and Josh Doctson. He can play. I see him as a Wright type of player that could come here and get make an early impact.

All these AAF signings kinda justify the NFL and its billions of extra dollars stepping in and helping it become an official developmental league

so if returns kicks, can Hurney finally stop blowing Barner?

They did, which is why NFL should step in and help it
