Panthers Scout Gamecocks at Pro Day

0:00On March 18, South Carolina has long been a talent pipeline for the Carolina Panthers, with seven gamecocks drafted by the team since 2004. On Tuesday, though, Panthers scouts were scarce at the University's pro-day in Columbia. Still, a few showed up to watch defensive standouts like cornerback Brandon Sissy, safety jalan kill-gore, and defensive lineman Nick Barron. Other pro-days as schools like Oregon and Virginia might have pulled attention away, or it could be strategy from a rising Panthers team keeping cards. Close. Last year, Carolina sent a big group including their general manager but skipped drafting top gamecocks, though they signed an undrafted linebacker who stuck on the roster for all 18 games. Sissy, a 20-year-old transfer from North Carolina State, impressed with the 4.4-040-R dash and 15 bench press reps at two. 125 pounds. He draws advice from Panthers' cornerbacks like Stefan Gilmore and J.C. Horn, plus former

1:01gamecock Nick Imman-Worry. Kill-gore, versatile at 6'1 and 218 pounds, also hit 4.4-0 at the combine and is drawn calls from teams like The Texans, Commanders, and Bengals. Bear it. A 6'2, 313-pound mime-man had a solid workout with 31 bench reps and a quick three-cone drill, catching eyes from Panthers scouts. His nose tackle skills could fill a gap after veteran A. Sean Robinson's release. Both Sissy and Kill-gore rank in the top 130 prospects, making them fit for Carolina's secondary needs as the draft nears in April. Keep watching how these gamecocks factor into the Panthers' plans.
