Both of them are getting press on the Panthers website. Does that suggest they are going to be key players moving forward or just a symptom of the slow offseason?

Both guys played significantly with Bell starting 12 games. Keiser tied for second with 4 sacks on the defensive line.

In particular Bell might be considered the primary backup/starter if Otah has issues this year. With a year under his belt is he going to be ready to challenge for the starter position?

I like them both. For un-drafted free agents with no off season they really came in and produced fairly well. I'm more impressed with Keiser though. He had that fire in his heart. He accomplished a lot with that little time span he was with the full team. What 4 Sacks and a INT? Thats amazing for an undrafted free agent playing in like 5 games.

My thoughts exactly, and people stop bashing bell. He was an undrafted rookie who started 12 games and played against some of the NFLs top pass rushers and he gave up 4 sacks you say.....not bad to me

It goes a long way to have guys that have worked their way up to the roster (not that players that were drafted didn't). I was especially impressed with how the team seemed to "protect" Bell. I had read that Smitty was helping him out along with other players. Everybody reaching down to bring a man up will go a long way :)

      Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      King Tet talking to Jaycee already. McMillan, shortly after he was drafted, was asked which NFL cornerback he wants to "Moss" most. His answer was an intriguing one. "Well, since we're going to be going against each other in practice, it's Jaycee Horn,"              Jaycee Horn   @jayceehorn_10 · Follow Seatbelts go on all sizes let’s get it lil bra!! @TMAC96795                 Keep Purring Podcast (Ben)   @KeepPurringBen Great article by @KassidyGHill TMac vs Horn "With that in mind, when asked in one booth which NFL corner he was most looking to 'Moss,' McMillan quickly answered, "Well, since we're going to be going against each other in practice, it's Jaycee Horn."   https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/04/29/panthers-tetairoa-mcmillan-jaycee-horn-nfl-draft/83347503007/?taid=68111d1ca9319b00015aff6d&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      Smitty's pre-draft analysis of Nalo

      It is probably harder to justify taking plays off in a draft where you are drafted six picks after a freak of nature--How Hunter did it is beyond me--and in Colorado of all places!  WRs run sprint after sprint.  Arizona was playing from behind a lot and that means pass every play.  I get it.

      I'll give you the Etienne pick to make up for Brooks, but I think you're looking at the T-Mac/XL picks wrong. Taking T-Mac wasn't "covering" the mistake of the other picks, it was "fixing" the XL pick. We took XL there because we expected him to be our new #1, but it just seems clear after his rookie year that he's never going to be THAT type of guy, even if he improves significantly.  But he does seem like he has that high end #2 potential, and that's where the T-Mac pick makes it "fixing" the pick and not "covering" for a bad one. The T-Mac pick pushes all the other WR's down a peg in the pecking order, and in turn, that makes them all that much better as they'll now be going up against a DB one more peg down on their own pecking order. XL and Coker don't have have a 1/2 pairing potential, but they both could be at the very upper end of the 2's and 3's out there, it totally changes the equation for who they are for us.
