No one would care about Jackson State's coach "shaming" NFL teams for not attending his pro day if that coach wasn't an NFL HOFer. I still don't.

Spot on. 

Screw Deion🖕.

Get a 😂 out of the "when we arrive" comment...

...he'll bail on that program before they "arrive".

I don't understand the vitriol toward Sanders here. He's stumping for his players and his program. That's what he should be doing as the head coach of Jackson State.

He isn’t an old rich (rich but not on this level) owner of a team. 🤯🤯🤯🧜‍♂️

If there is one player, you don't have to go to the pro day, you can have a private workout when it is convenient.

Very good point.  I have also heard old GMs say they have missed certain pro days on purpose because they were already sold on a guy and wanted to throw off the scent.

There is a reason why franchises like the Steelers have had players like John Stallworth & Donnie Shell, and the Colts with Darius Leonard, Robert Mathis, & Antoine Bethea while we rather reach for players like Armanti Edwards & Will Grier.

Our scouting department can do more.

I love the Antoine Bethea story the way Bill Polian tells it.  He said he was going thru film of prospects when he came across Bethea.  He wasn't sure whether he should look at him as a safety or a corner in Dungy's defense, so he took the film to Dungy.  After seeing the kid play Dungy asked Bill if other people had seen the tape.  Bill said NO, just him and Dungy.  Tony told Bill to draft the kid, and not to discuss it with anyone for fear of the "secret" getting out.

They end up drafting Bethea, with the idea that he will begin his career at safety and as he gains experience he will move to corner.  In one of his first practices at safety he gets 2 picks.  After the second pick Dungy turns to Bill and says "I guess we are leaving him at safety."

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
