Today I had the opportunity to get a look at the newest Panthers wide receiver, second rounder Devin Funchess, at Panthers rookie camp.



Devin strolled into his first practice as a NFL player like he had been there before, having some fun with NC State guard Zach Allen.

Lots of comparisons will be made between Kelvin Benjamin and Funchess this season, but right away it was clear to me these are two completely different receivers. Funchess is much more fluid in his movements, relies less on his height to achieve his objective. He runs more like smaller slot receiver.

There were no team drills today, so my observations are limited to positional drills. I can tell you that Funchess caught every catchable ball that came his way, sometimes in athletic fashion. (More about that in All-Pro).



His eyes in all of my shots of him are clearly fixated on the ball, a skill that other more experienced players on the roster still have trouble with.

Overall, and yes I know this is early, I can definitely see Funchess as the opening day #2 receiver. But you know what? Here is the shocker.... I could see him as an eventual number one as well with Kelvin Benjamin being the second receiver. Funchess looks every bit as good at this rookie camp as Kelvin did last year at his. There is still a long way to go, but this initial look was very encouraging.

If we get even semi decent O line play this team can contend. Cam has his targets, two huge receivers with an absurd catch radius that compliment his overthrow tendencies. I don't see how we don't dominate the redzone, just hope they can improve their hands especially KB who had some soul crushing drops last year. Safety valve Greg Olsen coming off a pro bowl year. Ted Ginn back stretching the field and our ST game is back because of him too so no more Bersin. Stewart was boarderline dominant since getting back from injury hopefully he can stay on the field. Defense will continue to lock people up. emergence of Josh Norman was huge & the rook Bene played well helping our secondary turn the corner after an awful first half. Boston in Y2, no better LB tandem in the game than Keek/TD, Charles Johnson continues to play strong and hopefully we can get some support opposite him so he doesn't eat doubles every snap. Short is the most underrated DT in the game has played great since drafted and even has the versatility to play some DE, Star is the anchor the keeps the run defense stout. Franchise QB on a new deal ready to takeover the franchise and have the best season of his career yet. I see big things for the Panthers this year
