Panthers Sign Travis Bond, Guard from Minn Practice Squad

[csx]

Scouting report says his height is a detriment.

So which one is Travis? The one who looks like an axe-murderer in the middle?

 

And yes, I know that's a sledge hammer, but don't try to tell me he wouldn't rather have an axe.

[Kuech the Sneak]

I remember him being really solid in college

Scouting report says his height is a detriment.

yea it is generally better for the tackles to be taller and a wider wingspan.  guards you want to focus on center of gravity a little more and that height makes it tough

Just a little fun fact...Sean Connery has been going bald since he was 19 and wore a hair piece in all of the James Bond movies.

This excerpt from NFL Scout....

 

"Built like a tackle but could be groomed as a swing player between guard and right tackle. Known to play a little too high with slower hands. He'll need a lot of work with line coach Jeff Davidson to give the team any quality at backup guard or tackle. "

 

 

I had no clue that Jeff Davidson was Minn O-line coach.

We certainly have been pillaging other teams practice squads like never before.  So far snapped up an extra 5th and 7th round pick, will be interesting to see how well and if they work out for us.  Glad we got someone young that can develop.

Its like getting an extra draft pick for free.

Yep. Has been for a while.

On topic, has anyone mentioned this dude is huge? :blink:

Best hope he and Michael Jasper don't sit on the same bench :unsure:

[KendrickPanther]

I like his name. Hope he can play.

Better than Fua as a backup RG

Bond was extremely solid for UNC.  Started all of his career with the Heels.  Doubt he does anything for us, but maybe, just maybe.  He can be better than Chandler.
