Who is your Training Camp "Hopeful"?

[Snake]

I will go with Carter again. Picked him last year and except for injury he would have stuck. Hope he does it this time.

This is also my pick. The kid has talent.

[scpanther22]

I'm pulling for the one of the newest kids on the block, Anthony Scirrotto. One of the first things he did was go up and introduce himself to Fox, face to face, which to me shows respect. I like that in a new player.

interview i found with him..sounds like a good kid..fox loves that could make it on PC i am tired of nate sally

Anthony Scirrotto could have been a 2nd round draft pick in 2005, he was that good. Well a 2nd round draft pick in baseball that is. Scirrotto, however, chose to get an education and play for the legendary Joe Paterno. That education included 4 years of playing time, 3 years as a full time starter, and 2 First Team All-Big Ten Conference awards. He finished his career with 12 interceptions. For Scirrotto, his long awaited draft is soon upon him; this time it is the NFL Draft.

Well here's the problem with that interview, even as a white man, I can't help but simply think he named the white safeties of the league. Something about that tells me he hasn't really figured out what his game is all about. I would like to think he can shoot higher than Weddle and Considine if he really wants to make it

[carolinarolls]

Duke Robinson

[HSCBandit07]

Jake Delhomme

[dksmith17]

Hunter Cantwell?

[DaCityKats]

kmoore and lonnie.captain too.

[Fiz]

Jake Delhomme

[bLACKpANTHER]

I am hoping for Corey Irvin to break into the lineup some this year and surprise..

[Darth Bobo]

If Everette Brown works out for us, then our front office will be singing in the rain. If he doesn't then 2009 will be the worst draft EVAR in the history of the Panthers.

[PanthaSan]

Captain Munnerlyn.

:iagree:

I am even contemplating getting a Munnerlyn jersey ordered. I usually wear an established player's number but I have a good feeling about this kid.

[lostcat]

If you attended training camp at any point last year, you can't help but root for Carter.

:iagree:

Count me in for Carter also. Should have made the team last year if not for the injury.

[Jai.]

im pulling for my homeboy, Big Lonnie Harvery.

[Peppa Jack Supreme]

Im going for Dwayne Jarrett. Kid needs to step up in a big way because his window is closing fast.
