Lonnie Harvey DT-exclusive somewhat interview

[WilkinsonDonnie]

I think this guy has a good chance of making it at least to our practice squad. I actually texted him last night talking about how DT is a open competition and he responded saying "thanks, im gonna make it. happen believe that!!". He's got good push through the line and is a big body guy. Here's a highlight reel and a video of him doing combine drills on campus (which he happens to list his phone number, may want to change that, no im not a stalker)....

who said how DT is a open competition..because...i dont think it is..

[WilkinsonDonnie]

gary gibson will be gone, there are no given starters in Meeks style of D. Nick Hayden may not make it, except for practice squad. I kind of assumed it was an open competition.

this is still fox team..the starter will be kemo and lewis..with a lot of rotaition..i dont like it but thats the way it is

[damo md panthers fan]

I think this guy makes the team. I read a few Colts message boards and they wanted this guy. They had him in for a private workout. It said the colts wanted to sign him as either a 7th rounder or a steal as a UFA. So looks like we lucked up. LET'S DO WORK RON MEEKS.

i like this guy. he would be good solid depth behind kemo. he has an incredible work ethic. i love what he has done to try and get his weight down...well. i love the dedication. he ate a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast and a can of tuna for lunch and from what i could tell that is all he had. most likely he lost some muscle mass if that was all he was eating but still, he wants to be good and i think all he needs is the right program to take advantage of his potential and teach him what he wants/needs to know to be good.

i hope he works out. a guy with that bulk could be good clogging up the interior.

[Mr. Scot]

Kemo, Lewis and in all likelihood - unless he's Attiyah Ellison II - Irvin are set.

Behind that there's at least one spot, maybe two.

This guy has as good a chance as anybody else that's up for it.

He was a HUGE reach that will bite us in the ass. Roy Miller was still on the board for christ sake!

[SmootsDaddy89]

haha that's cool he'll actually talk to people who text him. Hell, I hope he makes it just for being that sociable. fug twitter.

[rayzor]

there are a lot of things about irvin that i like and i think that he is another one that has tons of potential that just needs the right program to make the most of it. hurney said that they were someone that they had been looking at since september or october. this was his first chance to start in a big program and came to them pretty raw. had he been given another year to perform we might have seen him get a lot better.

right now, though, he and harvey both are in the best situation possible. what remains to be seen is if we can get out of of them what our scouting department saw in them. i'm willing to believe that we can. harvey will be the bigger challenge but still, i'm willing to give them a chance and withhold judgment until we can see what they do in minicamps and TC.

i don't want us to stop at these guys, though...i want us to bring in quite a few more guys to battle it out for the DT spots. based on where these two guys are coming from, i'm going to be pulling for them.

[monstercat]

Well, Kemo made it as an undrafted FA, so I would never say never...especially since this team lost some FA's before the draft, and didn't sign a single one.

[Mr. Scot]

He was a HUGE reach that will bite us in the ass. Roy Miller was still on the board for christ sake!

Miller was taken by the Bucs 12 picks before us.

[CharlotteBeer.com]

This guy seems to fit the mold of what the Panthers look for, not only in terms of size but also in terms of his character. As far as the undrafted free agents go, I'm most excited about Jamall Lee, Larry Beavers (tee-hee) and Lonnie Harvey.

Miller was taken by the Bucs 12 picks before us.

Miller was on the board in the 2nd I mean. As was Gilbert.
