And Gilyard is also nothing more than a rookie attending his first TC...inlcuding dropping passes per reports.

You FAIL MASSIVELY once again.

I think someone missed the joke.

Yeah, Sloth's on our side, MadHatter. He likes the Armanti pick and is portraying those who don't as crybabies, get it?

To be fair, I fail massively at least a few times a day.

The quality of trolling has fallen off quite a bit

I dunno, 49 did a good job on luring them in (he hooked several in this thread)...

While I usually reserve my judgements for females, I have to agree with this point.

This has been quite an entertaining thread to read.

My two cents...

I have good friends that have been around Armanti at App for his 4 years there (I'm talking adults that have jobs that put them in close contact with him pretty often). I also taught one of his classmates. Of course I understand that many won't believe me because I'm posting on a message board and some folks are going to believe what they want to believe...but here it is:

He graduated in 3 1/2 years. He's very talented in graphic design (I've seen some of his work).

He's a shy, humble guy.

He's an incredibly hard worker.

He's one of those "high character" guys.

I also have an acquaintance that works in the Panthers front office. I don't see him very often, and we're not best buddies or anything like that. However I did run into the week after the draft and I mentioned something about AE being taken so early (yes, I was thrilled). He said if they had waited till the next round he may not have been there.

That is the truth as I know it.

Now, his ability... here's the truth as I see it:

The kid can play. He has instinct and athletic ability. I don't know if that will pan out at punt returner or receiver or both, but I think he'll be a great addition to this team down the road. I'm sure he'll show flashes in preseason and he'll probably struggle too at times.

Yep, I'm an App State homer (class of '93) but I try to be objective. I just comment on Armanti because I've seen him play for 4 years and will never be surprised by what he does on the field. (Notice you don't hear me clamoring for Dexter Jackson, who is the fastest guy on the field but unfortunately hasn't figured out how to translate that in the NFL).
