I reached out to our friends at Dawg Sports to get their thoughts on Godwin, and Mr. Sanchez was kind enough to answer my questions. You can find our Q&A session below.1. What are Godwin’s strengths and weaknesses, and how do you think he could help the Panthers’ offense in 2019?He’s got great hands, is tough, strong, has good speed, and is a great route runner. He’s not the biggest (around 6-feet tall) and isn’t a burner, so expectations should be set accordingly for a late round pick. But the upside is definitely there for a guy who can work in the slot. With Newton and McCaffery in the backfield, and other threats on the outside, Godwin will be a strong and willing blocker inside for those two on runs

It’s not really a glamour role, but with the way NFL offenses run, he can be a very good third/fourth wide receiver hauling in a ton of balls to help move the chains while opening lanes for McCaffery or Newton to break runs on third downs too.One other aspect, he’s done a lot of special teams work in college too, so he’s also likely going to be able to fill a role on coverage teams, or as a safe hands option (since the speed issue means he’s not gonna be a big play threat there) as a returner.2. The Panthers drafted him in the seventh round. Do you think they got a good value there, or should he have been a UDFA?I’m biased to the kid, as both a Georgia fan and having gotten to know him a bit over the last few years thanks to our paths crossing in this town. So I think it’s good value, and probably about where he should have gone. The lack of size, elite speed, and nothing special numbers in college
Rashaan Gaulden Jersey , combined with little injuries in several seasons, means he was never going to be a first or second day guy. But as said above, he’s got a lot of good tools too and is more than capable of filling a role both next year and for the next decade. Plus, Georgia guys have often had success in the league, even the less heralded guys (see David Andrews as an UDFA who has been starting for the Patriots since his rookie year). And with Thomas Davis leaving this offseason, it feels right that the Panthers have a UGA guy on the roster. Since there has yet to be a season in Panther history without one (simply the overlap of careers for Davis and John Kasay, plus several others alongside them).3. Which parts of his game do you think will best translate to the NFL? Which parts will he need to work on the most?His physicality probably best translates. He’s not going to be afraid of contact, both giving or receiving. That will help particularly in the way Newton and McCaffery get their yards on the ground. And that will help him in the tight spaces of the NFL passing game too. That and his hands. If he can get a finger on it, there’s a chance he catches it, something else that will help in tight windows you have to squeeze balls through in the NFL.The areas he probably most needs work on are learning to create space and separation from defenders, particularly the elite coverage men he’ll be across from now. And just getting used to whatever passing trees and routes his teams will be calling on him. He also is going to need to learn roles. He did this well at Georgia
Thomas Davis Color Rush Jersey , as said, working out wide or in the slot, getting runs on jet plays, I wanna say he had some wildcat and backfield runs too, plus he’s been a return man and cover man on special teams. He’s not gonna be a star, so he’s going to have to carve out his niche on a roster and that is never easy.4. Do you think he has a good chance to make an NFL roster in 2019? Why or why not?Yes I do, especially since he was drafted by the Panthers. Again, seventh round pick, the tight squeeze of a 53-man roster to begin with, and all that, so he’s far from a lock. But for a seventh round pick I’d say he’s got a much better than normal chance to make it. The reasons why are spelled out above

That penchant for acquiring good, valuable, impactful players produced in the areas nearby might explain why they’ve been better than Georgia’s local NFL team pretty much since that Panthers history began.What do you think, Panthers fans? Do you like the Terry Godwin pick? Why or why not? CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina is finally back on schedule.The Tar Heels open Atlantic Coast Conference play Saturday at home against Pittsburgh after having a game canceled due to Hurricane Florence. It will mark their first chance to climb out of an 0-2 start , though it comes after a week that took them out of in-season routines.“It’s an unforeseen break,” UNC coach Larry Fedora said, “and we’ve got to turn it into a positive.”UNC was set to face No. 16 UCF last weekend
https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/J.J.-Jansen-Jersey , but Florence’s approach toward the Carolinas’ coastline forced the schools to cancel the game Sept. 11. A day later, Fedora said, the coaches dismissed the players, with roughly half leaving campus with classes canceled and the rest sticking around.The Tar Heels didn’t practice for four days as the storm brought wind and rain. And as they returned to the practice field Monday, there was also work to aid Florence relief efforts.Fedora and several players spent part of Tuesday loading the program’s equipment truck with donated items being brought to campus to help areas affected by the storm. The players also decided to give their $15 per-diem meal money for last week’s canceled game to acquire $1,275 in supplies for former UNC linebacker Kevin Reddick’s donation drive for his hometown of New Bern, one of several flooded communities in the eastern half of the state.Now it’s time to focus fully on football again.“It’s definitely weird having those four days off,” offensive guard Nick Polino said. “It’s not something that usually happens . even on a bye week. We just kind of did some recovery, some guys got a workout in if we could.“Other than that, we’re ready to be back in the swing of things.”The Panthers (2-1, 1-0 ACC) are coming off a home win against Georgia Tech in their league opener
https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Mike-Adams-Jersey , though they’re preparing for their first road game of the season. They’re also trying to earn their first win against UNC since joining the ACC for the 2013 season.Pitt has lost all five meetings against its Coastal Division foe, all by one-possession margins.“It’s by four points here, five points there,” Pitt senior cornerback Phillipie Motley said. “And it’s a topic of discussion just because we’ve been in the game and had chances to win the game. But like I said, hey, we just didn’t make the plays when it was time to make the plays.”Here are things to know about Saturday’s Pitt-UNC game:QADREE’S QUEST: Pitt senior running back Qadree Ollison is running well. The former league offensive rookie of the year leads the Panthers with 283 yards rushing and three touchdowns while averaging 6.3 yards per carry. He credits his success to his line, some added explosiveness for trimming body fat in the offseason and time spent working primarily as a blocking back — which helped him better understand how to set up his own blockers.ELLIOTT’S ACCURACY: North Carolina needs quarterback Nathan Elliott to be more accurate . He’s completed roughly 51 percent of his passes with one touchdown in two games. The junior said he’s working on it and determined to “be better.”BRACE YOURSELF: Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett is traveling with extra hardware: a brace on his left knee. The sophomore typically wore a brace during practice but not in games — that is, until coach Pat Narduzzi ordered Pickett to wear it full time after Pickett narrowly escaped serious injury when a Georgia Tech player crashed into the knee last week. Pickett says it shouldn’t limit his mobility and the biggest issue is simply comfort.WATCH LIST: North Carolina receiver Anthony Ratliff-Williams had a huge game at Pitt last year. He returned the opening kickoff for a 98-yard touchdown, threw a trick-play scoring pass and had the go-ahead TD catch in the fourth quarter of the 34-31 win.ADVANTAGE?: UNC’s altered schedule means more time for banged-up players to heal and extra time for UNC’s coaches to scout Pitt. “Nobody is banged up and they’ve had two weeks to prepare for us,” Narduzzi said. “I think it’s an advantage for them.”
