I go to college at BGSU and one of my good friends on the football team is TE Alex Bayer. He told me when he met with the Panthers that there is a 99% chance they don't draft a TE but will be looking into signing some right after the draft and they want him. Bayer thinks he could be a 6-7th round pick and is hoping to being drafted but said Carolina would be a great fit for him. This is coming a few days before the Ed Dickson rumors today.
Being an Ohio kid and a Panthers fan it'd be great seeing one of my good friends get a chance with Carolina. Here are his numbers as a 4 year starter. He is 6'4 262. Not great speed, but soft hands and a good blocker. He had 7 catches for 124 yards and a TD in the Mac championship game that ended Northern Illinois perfect season with BG winning 47-27
