LaFell will get a chance to start with the Panthers. The retirement of Mushin Muhammad opens up the door for Brandon and converted QB Armati Edwards to fight for the No. 2 and 3 positions. Dwayne Jarrett looks to be on the roster bubble at this point, and with Steve Smith as the only established receiver on the roster, there will be plenty of playing time for LaFell. Draft him with caution, as he doesn’t have great speed and will be working with a largely untested quarterback in Matt Moore.
LaFell is a pretty solid prospect, and with a 6’3”, 205-lb frame, he has the build of a starting NFL wide receiver. He’s also very athletic and can get the ball at higher points than opposing cornerbacks. He was always a good, but never a great receiver during his four years at LSU as his best season came his junior year, not senior year, when he caught 63 passes for 929 yards and 8 touchdowns. He did surpass his touchdown mark in 2009 with 11, so he does have some knack for the end zone.
But if there’s one glaring weakness in his game, it’s his soft, small hands and his inability to catch the ball. He dropped a ton of passes his senior year at LSU, and during OTAs with the Panthers, he started off the first day with a few dropped balls as well. Whether it was nerves or whatnot remains to be seen, but it is a disconcerting pattern.

Lafell does not have a Twitter account. The official Team Twitter account comes through here: Panthers Player Tweets

LaFell signed a four-year rookie deal worth $2.604 million that included a $814,000 signing bonus. The particulars have yet to be released:
2010 - Under Contract
2011 - Under Contract
2012 - Under Contract
2013 - Under Contract
2014 - Free Agent
LaFell looks like he may gain the starting job and can be securely handcuffed to Steve Smith
LaFell is just fine heading into his rookie campaign with the Panthers
