Panthers' Bryce Young Needs Kenyon Sadiq
About this episode
The Carolina Panthers are focusing on building weapons for quarterback Bryce Young, with NFL analyst Rhett Lewis advocating for Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq in the first round. Sadiq, a physical freak with elite athleticism and route-running skills, could be the missing piece to the Panthers offense, providing a reliable big target alongside Tet McMillan and stretching the field. Drafting Sadiq would address a long-standing weak spot for the Panthers, who havent taken a tight end in the first round in over thirty years.

0:00On April 8th, the Carolina Panthers know they got to keep building around quarterback Bryce Young this year. With the defense looking solid, the focus is on weapons for him, and NFL analyst Ret Lewis is pushing for Oregon tight-end Kenyan Sadeek in the first round. This guy is basically a giant wide receiver who could stretch the field and give young a reliable big target alongside Ted McMillan. Sadeek's a physical freak on the field. He clocked the fastest 40 yard dash ever for a tight-end. At 4.39 seconds, runs elite routes, piles up yards after the catch, and even blocks like a pro. That kind of athleticism in a 6 foot 5 frame makes him a mismatch nightmare for defenses. Pampus fans remember Greg Olson as the last standout tight-end here, back when he was lighting it up. Since then, no one's cracked 500 receiving yards in a season, and the team's never taken a tight-end in the first round in over 30 years. He's been a weak spot forever. Coach Dave Canalis' offense has haven't targeted tight-ends much lately, ranking low in
1:01the league over his last three stops. But Sadeek's special enough to change that script. He's got that Kyle Pitzbive as a receiver first tight-end, just without the super-high draft type like 4th overall. Drafting him around the 19th pick, lest the Panthers add a pass catcher without overreaching, up Xavier Leggett outside, while finally, fixing tight-end. Bryce Young needs these options to take off, and Sadeek could be the spark that turns his offense around.
