I been looking stuff up on him, and the more I find, the more I'm liking the signings we made. Depending on the source, 3 or 4 of the skill position guys we signed as UDFA can straight up FLY. Cherry claims to have run a 4.22 40 before.

Additionally, the world famous "Procton" from The Observer and Darin's blogs boards posted his Special Teams stats. Without having seen him play, numbers like that on kick coverage suggests the guy loves to do it.

No to mention, he's fast and gained popularity for his performance in some all-star games. I thought Beavers was my hands down favorite to come in and be our guy b/c of his unbelievable stats on returns and his speed (featured in a youtube video I posted last night - 4.28 40). But this guy returns, covers, and can contribute on offense, which none of our ST guys have been able to do effectively in recent years.

Here's some articles and the info posted by Procton:

Chery's Pro Day Results He wasn't anywhere near a 4.2, but in the article above, it also said he had put on 12 pounds of muscle before his workouts...

Darin's Blog (look for comments at bottom)

* Cherry is a special teams stud. Good returner,

and he was probably the best kick coverage guy in this college draft. He also impressed at the postseason all-star games with his receiving ability. From the Dallas Morning News:

"Jason Cherry of Louisiana-Lafayette was a wide receiver by trade but an elite special-teams player through hard work. In addition to his 60 career tackles, he blocked two kicks, recovered two fumbles and forced a fumble on special teams. He also returned a kickoff for a touchdown in his career."

I can't verify the ST stats he posted but, here's all of his other stats:

I know he's a UDFA guys, but indulge me...

what is becoming obvious to me is that the panthers are quietly building a very fast special teams unit. how many choices do we have right now for a returner?

And Beavers. :D

I think they realize how greatly Mark Jones contributed last year and are looking to make sure we do not regress now that he's gone.

I am not sure..have to look it up but there is some relation to starting field position to sucees in the NFL...i will have to find it unlees someone can post a link

I was thinking we can go back to college style kickoff with two players back and have both of them be a threat to return it to the house.

The NFL has "busted" the wedge with their new rule. Faster guys who can do more on their own will be even more valued now methinks.

makes it a necessity, imo... good call. i wonder if we are actually ahead of the curve on this?
