It’s tempting to dismiss C.J. Saunders because he’s so small. But the Panthers wideout keeps making plays, and earning the respect of his peers. https://t.co/vQX4wQli2p

Zane Gonzalez said GM Scott Fitterer came to him early in the offseason and made it clear they wanted to keep him.

Felt like a priority.

Moton said the rookie singing has been “sub-par” as a whole, but loves that the OL rookies are 2-for-2.

Ekwonu and Cade Mays are holding up their end of the bargain.

Moton on Ekwonu: “Ultimately just learning the game at this level, every rookie goes through it.”

But said he’s seen tremendous progress since OTAs.

Thursday will be more of a walk-through practice, but they’ll “get after it” more on Friday and Saturday. Something resembling scrimmage environment.

On McCaffrey’s rest day, Rhule said they’d likely not let him take three padded practices in a row.

Rhule said he still views Ekwonu as a “rookie,” stresses that they’re making him earn a job.

“And I think that’s the way he likes it.”

Rhule usually doesn’t mind a camp skirmish because it means its competitive, but when it crosses the line and turns into penalties, that’s the problem.

7 practices down in Spartanburg. 5 to go.

Time flies …

First-team defense winning early part of today’s scrimmage. Donte Jackson … letting Baker Mayfield know about it, too.

It’s talked about, but Terrace Marshall Jr. is having a very solid camp.

He’s been flashy, but the flashes are getting to be consistent.

7-on-7s end with a short TD toss from Baker Mayfield to Terrace Marshall

— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) August 3, 2022

Mayfield to Marshall on the fade. Nice placement, nice catch.

Frankie Luvu pokes the ball away from Gio Ricci, so now Ricci is doing a lap while securing two footballs.

Sam Darnold is getting the first reps with the 1s today in 7-on-7, but Matt Rhule said he and Baker Mayfield are likely to mix today.

— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 3, 2022

CB Duke Dawson in a red jersey, he limped off yesterday. With CB Keith Taylor on the shelf, they’re going to need more legs at that position.

— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 3, 2022

Matt Ioannidis in a bucket hat as well.

UPDATE: Zane Gonzalez beat Matt Corral out to the field today.
