It’s that time of year again when I get to indulge my college football fandom and encourage Carolina Panthers GM Scott Fitterer to draft a player coming from my alma mater, Brigham Young University. While like many of you I can get pretty irrational about my favorite college team, my track record in surfacing former BYU players for the Panthers to draft has been spot on.
In previous years I’ve advocated for running back Jamaal Williams (1,066 rush yards last year and an NFL-best 17 TDs), All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner, Cleveland Browns starting linebacker Sione Takitaki (71 tackles in 12 games last year, pre-injury), and the Panthers very own starting guard Brady Christensen.
