Panthers sign Tahir Whitehead

Not surprised, this is another guy with a Rhule connection.  He played at Temple till 2011, Rhule wasn't the head coach, but he was an offensive assistant coach at the time he played and just so happened to be the "recruiting coordinator" the year Whitehead was recruited to Temple meaning Rhule probably has an extensive understanding of what his skillset is and helped recruit him.  Almost everyone he's brought in have been guys he has connections to.  While I think it can be bad if he's just helping out "his boys", I think it could be more so that he wants HIS culture and bringing in guys that know and trust him will help get the panther holdovers to "fall in line".

We signed Whitehead for about a year now on this lock down. But, he’s just a dang JAG. Nothing more

Any chance we have a Lamar Lathon 2.0 on our hands here? I remember Lathon in Carolina being a perfect fit in our scheme and had his best days with us. He signed with us at 28 years old, but I don't remember how good he was prior to Carolina.

Whitehead looks like a JAG, but his familiarity with Snow could be huge. He fills the stats sheet and his physique is exactly what Rhule and Snow want..... strong and physical. He could bring a vocal leadership as well and if we luck out with Simmons in the draft, a trio of Shaq-Simmons-Whitehead would be a solid linebacking unit. 

Sucks in coverage, but stout against the run.

Doesn’t seem like he’ll be taking Luke’s number...

“I know Luke wore it and everything. Obviously, he’s a good guy all around. It would be different for everybody to see me in it. . . . I’m not really too hung up on the number,” Whitehead said, via Joseph Person of TheAthletic.com.”


 

59 should be retired

Then the crowd should yell LUUUUUKE every time he makes a tackle.

Lathon was good when he had a stud on the other side. He was a JAG when he was spose to be the guy
