He may have only had 1 reception for 18 yards in his final 2016 preseason game, but Damiere Byrd looks a lock for Carolina Panthers final 53-man roster. Carolina showed tonight that they want Byrd on this team for his special team's capability just as much as his threat as a speed receiver.
Damiere Byrd looks dangerous every time he fields a punt. Just returned one 24 yards to give offense great field position.

The 5'9 speedster fielded every punt in Carolina's final preseason game. On four punt returns, he averaged 14 yds.
