This is obviously a long shot, but a pretty cool story.

 

"The guy's got freakish athletic ability. If he can get the system piece down … I think the sky's the limit for the guy,” Wright said.

 

“When you look at him physically, you don't see many players walking around looking like him.”

He's had a lot of bad luck and he has a long road ahead of him. But I'm rooting for him.

It will. He got a second opinion. So I hope Brandon makes the squad. His tape from D-2 is insane.

i cant remember how it goes, can someone tell me how the udfa process works?

 

is it free picking or is there an order to it?

 

do the players have agents that contact teams they want to try out for or do teams notify the players or agents?

^I'm pretty sure he makes it to training camp because we signed him.  There are players that are offered tryouts in this 3 day rookie camp. But I think BW is going to training camp before they decide if he is PS, makes the 53 man roster, or gets cut. Not 100% positive though.

Correct.

BTW, it says a lot that he was signed before the draft. They made sure nobody scooped him up first.

Yep. I dont like to make the Victor Cruz analogy, but there is something about this kid. Not sure if he is gonna make it, but he has the tools and the management seems to really like him.

 

Also note: He is/was a basketball player

Bryant has been referred to as a WR several times now. I don't see him going back. He's too lean to be a TE.

 

Then he'll probably be a career practice squad player, because there are better options who do exactly what he does but better (i.e. Hixon, Gettis). With said, it looks like a Williams vs. Rosario competition for the final tight end spot.

 

I mean I guess they could let Brockel be the third tight end (since he's listed as a tight end on the website) and have Zordich as the back-up fullback (which I wouldn't be opposed to), but Brockel is essentially the same thing as Hartsock; so I don't see the point in using him as a tight end.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
