S.Carolina had 5 players drafted, all of which came from a very strong 2024 defensive unit. In addition to the players drafted they had 2-3 other players from that defense signed as UDFAs.
The fact that he played QB, as mentioned by Luvnit, only adds to my belief that he will contribute.
A million years ago I played QB, RB, WR, S, and CB. Yes, I played all over the damn field. Even had some snaps at LB. Ts, being a QB only made me better as a DB. From my DB perspective I was able to decipher what QBs were processing on real time or at game speed. Opposing QBs fn hated me! I could call out the vast majority of the things that they were trying to do. It led to a lot of PDs and INTs.
Makes complete sense. When you have played QB you can process so much better than other players as that is your job when playing QB,
to read Defenses. When you can read Defenses you can read QB's as well when you are on the other side. I too think Knight will become a
fan favorite. As you can see in this vid, he is really humble and football is a real passion of his.
I like all the players we selected in this Draft for this very reason, no Jackson Carman picks, they all love the game and want to be great.

Could be, man, I really wanted Kennard off that DL in this last draft as well who always impressed me.
