Mingo has good opening day of practice - OceanPanther - 07-30-2024
I listened to WFNZ interview with Steve Smith ( Agent 89 ) yesterday on Jonathan Mingo. He said he'd worked with Mingo often in the off season and he expected great things from Mingo this season. If Mingo has a break out season then we need to sign Agent 89 as the WR whisper ( coach ) ... sounds like he had a good first day of practice..

Mingo failed to score a touchdown during his rookie season, but during the third practice of training camp, he made a pair of impressive touchdown grabs. He also had a pair of flashy yards-after-catch moments in the middle of the field. With Diontae Johnson and first-round pick Xavier Legette added to the mix, Mingo needs to fight for playing time among a group that also features Adam Thielen, Terrace Marshall Jr. and Ihmir Smith-Marsette. Through the first three practices of camp, Mingo has met that challenge with a reel of strong plays in the passing game. WIDE RECEIVERS SHINE IN RED ZONE DRILLS Mingo wasn’t the only standout on the wide receiver depth chart on Saturday. Marshall had the offensive highlight of practice for a second consecutive workout, catching a leaping fade pass from backup QB Andy Dalton over cornerback D’Shawn Jamison in the end zone for a touchdown. Marshall made the grab falling to the ground with Jamison basically on top of him. The wideout kept his feet in-bounds and received the biggest ovation of the day from the crowd. Smith-Marsette added to the highlight reel with a pair of big gains off passes across the middle. Johnson and Thielen both had some grabs in 11-on-11 drills, while undrafted rookie Jalen Coker and practice-squad holdover Mike Strachan both caught touchdown passes in red-zone team drills. Coker’s catch came off a fastball over the middle from Dalton, while Strachan’s was a fade route catch over Jamison from Young immediately after Marshall’s scoring snag. Panthers QB, #9, Bryce Young, made some nice throws during practice Saturday. Fans celebrated the return of Panthers’ football during practice at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday, July 27, 2024 as part of the annual Back Together Saturday event. Practice, which began at 9:30 a.m., included performances by the Panthers entertainment group and activities for fans. Fans cheered on players like Bryce Young (#9), Xavier Legette (#17), Damien Lewis (#68) and head coach Dave Canales. John D. Simmons Legette also made a pair of leaping grabs over the middle. While he has gotten off to a bit of a slow start in camp, Legette has flashed his trademark size-speed combo in spurts, especially over the past two workouts. “You see Mingo, Terrace Marshall, really showing who they are,” Canales said after practice. “David Moore you throw the ball his way, he comes up with it. So I’ve seen those guys come through, and we can depend on them. It’s a really good room. It’s a really good competition. Some different styles of players. Ihmir (Smith-Marsette) making some nice plays today. So it’s something we’re counting on.”

I liked Mingo when we drafted him. Sadly, he didn't do much last year because he was targeted much last year. Also, the times he was targeted, Bryce threw the ball way over his head or at his feet. Just saying. I'm still pulling for him and hope he comes thru big this year.
Here are his rookie season highlights (which, obviously, you will have to view on YouTube)
