Former Clemson/Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow did visit with the #Panthers Wednesday, as a league source confirmed and as 
@RapSheet
 & 
@TomPelissero
 said.

He spent 2023 out of ball. The 29-year-old has quite a bit of punt return exp. Also, 269 rec for 2,884 yds & 17 TDs in 5 yrs.

Did we need info on recycling?

I would like to go on record that a few co-workers and I met with him a few times over the last 9 months and planted this seed.  Nice to see that it may have worked - he would be a nice, inexpensive AT replacement eventually.

There's some absoulute slappies on rosters across the league, I'd take him in a heartbeat. He's a cerebral route runner and posesses the ability to manipulate defenders in zone/off man. QB friendly receiver. Laterally he's twitchy enough dude has to put some muscle on though, he gets bodied in press man.

This seems like a Jordan Matthews long shot move.  I doubt he makes the 53 man if they bring him in.  He was already washed and missed a year.

I don't think he was washed so much as Hunter Renfrow is a very specific niche player that requires actually playing to that niche and it built into an O. 

He is rather pointless to have if you aren't going to have an O he fits into and the specific work he does. 

Can the average NFL player cover the Renfrow route/game? Not really.  But your O has to want that in your O.  If just ask him to sub in for a random WR.....that doesn't really work.

Renfrow can work select routes in the slot as good as anyone.  He isn't a plug into any offense type  or just any slot role type. 

[CRA]

Renfrow is one of my top 5 favorite all time Tigers.  I'd pass here.  The Bryce to Renfrow memes we would have to face isn't worth it.

Yeah no thanks lort.

His game speed is more like 5.87

that is not Hunter Renfrow's info. 

That's DT Desmond Watson.  First clue should of been the bench press

[CRA]

Renfrow ran some of the nasty routes out of the slot that could be ran.  He is now 30.   Renfrow losing that quickness in his feet that comes with age......is just a massive nail in the coffin, given his niche at this level.

Panthers front office might as well start posting up in local nursing homes at this point. Maybe there's a few old timers around with some juice left in the tank.

Or you know they could just stop drafting like utter dogshit.

He probably wouldn't make the team.  That's why I say it's just Jordan Matthews all over again.  He gets to be in camp.  Someone will get to write an article about it.  And then he won't make the 53.
