Ron Rivera: WR Keyarris Garrett similar to Devin Funchess a year ago

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Keyarris Garrett doesn’t have a realistic chance of making the 53-man roster for the Carolina Panthers, but that says more about the depth at wide receiver than anything.

Remember Garrett? He was the talk of the rookie minicamp after being signed as an undrafted free agent out of Tulsa, where he led the nation in receiving yards last season.

But until Wednesday the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Garrett hadn’t done much to stand out during training camp, primarily because he was buried behind Carolina’s deepest group of receivers since quarterback Cam Newton was the top pick of the 2011 draft.
