2 Fantastic Workout Performers Cut, Would You Sign them?
2 very interesting young players have been cut, they had fantastic workout numbers, so should the Panthers sign, and develop them?
LB/S Jameson Konz (6-3 1/2, 234, 4.38-40, 46 inch vertical, 10-8 broad jump, 6.93 3-cone drill, 4.25 20 yard shuttle), was the Seahawks #245 pick in the 2010 draft, as a TE, but spent his rookie season on IR. He played his first 3 years at LB and S for Kent St., before being moved to TE as a senior (21 catches). When he arrived at camp last summer the Seahawks moved him to WR, so he dropped his weight down to 227 this offseason, then 3 days into camp was moved to DE (at 227 pounds?). I believe his best NFL position is at WLB, or as a hybred combo OLB/SS, like the "Joker" position Panthers secondary coach Meeks used with CB Dante Wesley, but needs to settle into 1 position, and not be counced around. His numbers are simular to recent signee FS Michael Greco, only much better.
OLB Keith Darbut (6-4 1/8, 229, 10 1/4 inch hands, 32 inch arms, 4.38-40, a record 1.42-10, 26 bench reps, 38 inch vertical, 10-6 broad jump7.28 3-cone drill, 4.45 20 yard shuttle) is an UDFA from Division III Baldwin-Wallace College, where he had 48 tackles, 15 TFL's, 10 1/2 sacks, and 11 QB hurries in 2010, while playing DE. He's a developmental prospect who might need 2 or 3 years to fully adjust to the NFL, but then he could become an outstanding OLB with his height and speed. Until then he's probably a Practice Squad player, or an end of the bench player with the size and speed to be a special teams standout.

The RivERA Doctrine
Both of these players and El Greco (Michael) would seem to be the type of players R/R wants on his team. He’s looking for young, talented C-O-A-C-H-A-B-L-E footballers! These two would look great as practice squad apprentices as they learn their new positions.
In an emergency, their talent and athleticism would enable them to fill in short term with a limited playbook.
Welcome to RivERA’s way of doing business.
