He's a better version of KArl Hankton and much younger. So why would you want Hankton?

This, The panthers have a ST ace for the first time in a while. Coverage on KR and PR will be much improved next season.

Wow... not quite the WR I was looking for.

[AceMan]

Well, regardless what many think, I think this is a great move.

lol!!! all the people on this board all of a sudden become experts on wallace wright. most probably didnt even know he existed until right now, and now he is the greatest special team player ever.

No, I had no idea who this guy was but I'll say if he ends up being as good as Hankton then it's a very good pickup.

Still the "our new WR" title is probably a bit off.

[Hairless Cat]

Its him, I asked him.

ask me who I am.............

I know it's not a big name, but Wallace is a player. You'll love him. I've followed his career since he left Pine Forest in Fayetteville, and pulled for him. I've always known him through other people and met him a couple times being from Fayetteville.

His girlfriend used to work with me when we were in high school and he'd come in a lot. Real cool guy. He's got to be ecstatic to be coming back home.

You won't be disappointed. I know he's not Antonio Bryant or Kevin Walter, but the guy plays his role. He's a ST ace and does have potential as a WR.

IIRC, he didn't get a scholarship offer from major schools but had good enough grades so he applied to UNC and got in off his academics. He tried out for the football team and made it as a walk-on. Was mostly a ST guy the first year or so and then they put him in at KR and he did some serious work. Showed some playmaking ability, so they gave him a shot on offense his last year and a half or so, and again, he showed out.

Look up an article on it, you'll like what you read.

He sees the odds and beats them. He's a player. Kind of like Kassim Osgood, but not quite as big.

I'm really happy for him and it's a good pick-up for us. Surprised NYJ didn't tender him.

not an expert by any means, but I know he's a ST ace. Something the panthers have been missing for a while.

[pantherfan81]

Never heard of this guy. Can't judge until I see him perform on ST. Lol@ Chris Harris!

I was a little rusty on the dates, he actually started as the KR his freshman year as a walk-on then worked his way up to offense by his jr. year, and he was awarded his scholarship then.

knowing that we had a need for a gunner the past couple years i have kept up with stuff like this. it doesn't take much to find out what he can do and how valuable he is, esp. to a team that has been lacking in return coverage for several years.
