Panthers sign Robert Lester SS Alabama

[cbully]

He's an UDFA, We can't expect him to be Charles Woodson day one. I'm sure there's a few tangibles that need coaching. The mold seems there though.

agreed. That was my point! A big plus for him is his size in comparison to these midgets we have there.

I just finish watching tape on Lester and he's a ball hawk, but his tackling is horrible. he doesn't rap up very much and also has gotten ran over a couple of times.

This is a pretty incredible UDFA pick up. Honestly, Robert Lester is one of those guys I just assumed had been drafted in like, the 4th or 5th round. There is no way in hell I thought he'd fall out of the draft.

[Riverboat Ron]

Would suck if his middle name was Moe. Robert Moe Lester.

As a UDFA, I love the signing. I wish we would've done more to truly address the safety position, but this is a quality UDFA signing.

Consider Lester as our 7th round pick.

I think that Lester is just as good as TJ McDonald who was drafted by the Rams in the 3rd round. Consider Lester a luck in UDFA.

I also think Lester is a better safety than DJ Campbell. Def better than NAKA and former Panthers Sherrod Martin.

Right about the McDonald comparison of talent. I feel much better about signing Lester for nothing than spending a pick on McDonald

[Jackofalltrades]

Do like.

[SIGCHI222]

This is like a SD.

[Panthro]

I like the signing of Lester. I remember him from a few years back and was surprised to see how he had fallen this year.

I will however wait to anoint him the savior of our secondary

[Kuech the Sneak]

He could honestly make the team. Seriously

[Gallagher]

Love this signing. My money is on Godfrey, Campbell, Mitchell and Lester being the safeties on our roster come week 1. Sounds a bit like Sherrod Martin in terms of taking bad angles, but if he has the coverage skills to compete with Jones/Colston/Jackson then I'm 100% on board.

I say hes a better player than Martin. Smarter player too being coached by Saban.

if he sticks to his coverage assignments we should call him lester the molester
