Another talented Day 2 or Day 3 prospect.
UNC WR Tez Walker to Visit Panthers (msn.com)
The Carolina Panthers will have their eyes on drafting a wide receiver later this month, potentially with one of their two second round picks. In what is considered a deep receiver class, they also have the ability to be patient and wait until their selection in the third round (No. 65 overall) to target a pass catcher.
One receiver that could be an option for Carolina on day two or possibly day three is North Carolina's Tez Walker. According to Greg Auman of Fox Sports, Walker currently has only one pre-draft visit scheduled and it's with the Panthers.
The former Kent State star recorded 699 yards and seven touchdowns on 41 receptions in eight games during his lone season with the Tar Heels.
According to Lance Zierlein of NFL Network, his NFL comp is Alec Pierce.
"All-day vertical target with long, linear frame and impressive build-up speed to win the footrace. Walker is a tale of two receivers. He’s a long strider who will excel running go routes, posts, corners and over routes. When he’s allowed to maintain play speed and keep his feet moving, he’s fine.
When he’s asked to get in and out of breaks or make tighter turns, his lack of short-area footwork and route acumen make him substantially easier to cover. Walker showed drastic improvement making the combat catch, but the jury is still out on whether he’s physical enough to do it as a pro. He’s a Day 2 field-stretcher for West Coast offenses looking to create explosive opportunities in the passing game."
