Re: Who is the 1st App to go this weekend?
Glad to hear that. I thought he needed a rude awakening and hoped he would get it. What I heard a few months ago disappointed me. I believed he is the type of player that if he gets that chip back that he would become a steal for someone in 7th or as a PFA.AppStateNews wrote: ↑Sat Apr 29, 2023 5:15 pmI talked to him fairly recently.

I saw him before a game last season. When Cam looked at me, his smile vanished to be replaced with a "who the hell are you look". I thot then his humility had gone sideways.

Re: Who is the 1st App to go this weekend?
If you look at their roster I would think they have 1 opening on the 53 man roster for a RB that he will have to compete with a few others for. They did not draft a RB so he should have a real chance.

Re: Who is the 1st App to go this weekend?
Depends on what else he does... I think he has a legit chance at making it if he protects the ball.

Re: Who is the 1st App to go this weekend?
It always helps in general when undrafted so I feel like he does unless he can impact in the receiving game as well. He does have a legit shot with their current RB depth chart though.AppStateNews wrote: ↑Sat Apr 29, 2023 8:55 pmDepends on what else he does...

Re: Who is the 1st App to go this weekend?
While it would help, I don't think you bring Cam in if that's what you're looking for. He's just not going to bring that to the table, outside of maybe a tryout returning kickoffs (which is minimally valuable in the NFL anyway).
Panthers have some room for a RB3. I think if he stays healthy, he's got a shot.

Re: Who is the 1st App to go this weekend?
I only ask because a depth chart position is generally given to guys that can play ST’s in some sort of capacity to enhance their value to procuring a roster spot. Keep in mind that Cam isn’t only competing against those brought into Panther’s camp for that 3rd spot, but also guys around the league that might have value as waiver wire pickups. Cam will need to show some skills that weren’t on display during his time at App to improve his chances of sticking around.EastHallApp wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 12:05 pmWhile it would help, I don't think you bring Cam in if that's what you're looking for.
