His involvement in the fatal car crash aside, reports out of his pro day are that he has gained 9 lbs since the combine and was unable to finish the drills due to being out of shape. And that’s only position drills since he opted not to run the 40, do cone drills, or benches at his pro day.

Big yikes.

take him in the 2nd

Idk, would you take post-Tennessee Albert Haynesworth? The guy can’t even motivate himself to stay in shape for a few weeks to try to salvage what he can of his draft position. He hasn’t even gotten a contract yet. That’s pretty bad.

I can tell you that he was a non-factor against Ohio State.  Teams are likely hesitant to use a high pick on him.  

Heavy doubt, I've seen A LOT of replays of that Georgia game and Carter is constantly in the backfield, Stroud just gets away from the pressure.

This this this. Anyone that watched the game saw that after q2, he was a body on the field. That 2021 Georgia defense clears that 2022 Georgia defense easily.

I think I could do that and I'm having knee surgery next week... whew dude. C'mon man.

I've seen guys move better than that with a lit cigarette still between their lips.

Hope he can get his stuff together.

Im gonna laugh if he ends up falling to us in the 2nd.

 

Lets keep the red flags coming baby!

I wouldn't take him if he fell to our 3rd rounder, he's 100% off my draft board now.

If you can't be in good enough shape at your Pro Day to even finish the drills, then you aren't going to last in the NFL, he clearly doesn't have the right mindset that you want in a player.

It would be one thing if he just didn't put up good numbers, but he put on 9 lbs in the last 2 weeks and couldn't finish his drills.  He wants to be an NFL player, today was the most important job interview he'll ever have in his life, and he couldn't be bothered to be in shape for it.

You really want to use a draft pick that would get us a possible starter on someone like that?

Very very very very hard pass, this is a player who won't get a second contract in the league I have a feeling.

I was actually joking.

 

There is 0% chance he falls to the 2nd round. Some contender in the late 1st would take him in a heartbeat.

 

What does his film say?

      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. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  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...
