Player's you are interested in learning more about in camp.

[panther4life]

New faces

Frank Alexander is a player who really intrigues me, mostly because we saw enough in him to give next year's 3rd rounder.

Josh Norman has also caught my attention, especaily for a 5th round pick. Don't have much evidence other than his d2 highlights, scouting reports,good mini camp reports, and lack of competetion at the # 2 corner to support my feelings but for some reason I feel strongly that he will emerge as the # 2 corner by the start of the season.

Returning Players

Gary Barnidge- I am rooting for this guy because of the how much we used 2 tight ends last year and Shockey being absent. He has flashed in camp before but am strongly hoping he can take it a step further this time

Fua/Mcclain- I am really hoping one of these 2 really steps it up this year and my money is on Fua based of rewatching every game and paying close attention the d-line the 2nd time around.

Obviously theres many more but didn't want to get too carried away and wanted to leave some for you guys as well.

Bell vs Campbell

and

Murphy

[davos]

Barnidge - Olsen is a given receiving threat...Barnidge is quite fast for a TE and is definitely on my radar and he should step it up. I think he could get 25+ receptions this year

McClain & Kearse...not Fua because I'm thinking he'll be Ron's backup at NT for now

Keiser, Applewhite, & Alexander - I want to see who jumps ahead within the group behind Johnson & Hardy

Ninja Nakamura - dethrone Martin please

Lamont Bryant - muy interesante

[panthers55]

Every year I pick one or two undrafted guys that I take a special interest in and hope they make the team. Last year it was Byron Bell and this year it is Lamont Bryant. If he doesn't make the active roster I hope he makes the practice squad. Then again I liked Taye Bittle a few years back and he went nowhere. Sure these guys are longshots to make the team but who knows stranger things have happened.

[Guest Bwood]

Lamont Bryant for sure.

Murphy vs. Gettis, the battle two injured burners with young promising careers.

Reggie Smith, Haruki Nakamura.

Justin Medlock.

Bruce Campbell.

[jayflip]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm actually really intrigued by Nortman punting the ball and Adams fielding punts.

Really excited about Pilares development. 89 is singing his praises a little, so hopefully he can be a secret weapon.

Tolbert's role in our offense has me very interested as well.

[nctarheel0619]

I wanna see if Darell Greens son makes the roster. He's extremely fast, maybe he could become our undrafted free agent receiver that beast it one day. Hope he makes the team.

[DaveThePanther2008]

Hogan vs Norman

[Ja Rhule]

The Golden Calf of Bristol

[jayflip]

I'm hoping Nelson Rosario can show enough to earn a practice squad spot at least too. El Camino High School in Oceanside needs something to represent it. All we have is Denise Richards... :(

[Razeyfingers]

Joe Adams and Pilares

I want to see how Pilares has grown and see what he does next. Adams could be very explosive even as a rookie, we'll see. One of these guys I hope can some day replace a satisfied 89.

[Gallagher]

Yeah, as they probably won't make the roster, I'm really hoping we keep Lamont Bryant and Jared Green on the practice squad. There's some definite potential there in terms of their size and speed, respectively.

In terms of camp, I think I'm most curious about how our Safety position pans out, with CB2 being a close second. If we see improvements in either the front or back end of our defense (we already know the middle will be stout), then I think our D will be vastly improved.

[SOJA]

CBs- Norman and Hogan (as most of you know, Norman looked surprisingly good earlier, while Hogan didn't look great)

WR- Joe Adams, Louis Murphy, and David Gettis

DE- Greg Hardy and Frank Alexander

FS- someone has to start here right?

[SIGCHI222]

Kuechly. Something about that kid makes me think he is going to be bigger than any of us have thought.

Him and Josh Norman's OTA's have piqued my interest.
