Johnny White's gotta be in Kiel's rotation.

Kiel speaks Latin?

The season reminds me alot of 2010, injuries mounting up, young guys stepping up, early games we should have won, Hmmmmmmmmmm!

for being the next sam mills...smith was very underwhelming this year.

Be interesting to see what frenchie...latts and jones can do.

Not saying he's a savior or whatever, but the press clippings have the makings of one of those Thompson hidden gems. If all he has to do is play ST, he might be just that.

Saine played special teams & Johnny White was picked up with an eye on that. He was a college standout & was even a special teams captain.

Johnny White - one of the hardest working guys I've been around

If we have to have a Tarheel on the roster Id much rather grab Giovanni Bernard next year. kid is insanely good

I dont remember too much about White except some injury issues and the kid was fast. Buffalo had Spiller and Jackson so maybe just a tough position there

We've got one (Ryan Taylor); why not a second?

I would like to draft a really good running back....change things up a bit...blew our chance a few years ago with Barry Sanders.....lets give it a try!

I'm with ya Dave.
I still think some team somewhere is gonna load up on a bruising running attack and run the league over in the near future. Everyone's going smaller and quicker behind the Dline so their LBs and CBs can do pass coverage. It should be exploited. I would love that team to be the Pack but history does not lead me to believe it will happen.

Should see players like Montee Ball and Rex Burkhead in the next draft. Like them both, run outside and inside, catch the ball well, great vision, don't fumble.

There were some who thought TT was going to draft Mark Ingram last year and that is why the Saints moved up in front of the Packers to take him. He is not doing anything with the Saints tho.

Montee Ball will have way too much mileage on him to last long in the NFL...if he would have come out last year, he would be fine, but he's taking a pounding this year.

I'm interested in this Johnny White. I liked him coming out of UNC as a late rounder/UDFA, thought he showed great effort and willingness to take on contact. He reminded me of Benjarvus Green-Ellis who was a solid role player in New England.

I saw him compared to Dave Megget, NY Giants great. That wouldn't be bad!
That said, Green looked really really good.
