53 Men: TE Chris Manhertz Player Profile
TE Chris Manhertz
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 255 lbs
College: Canisius
NFL stats: 6 receptions, 90 yards, 1 TD
Depth Chart Projection: Backup
Ian Thomas will be the team's starter in 2020 and although Manhertz won't be in the starting lineup, he should see a good amount of playing time. Everyone in the tight end room slid up a spot once Greg Olsen departed for Seattle.
Analysis:
Manhertz is an intriguing option in Joe Brady's offense. I don't believe he will offer too much in the passing game, but could be a reliable run blocker up front. This will be the perfect opportunity for Manhertz to not only expand his role, but earn some respect from the Panthers' fan base for his value on the field.
53-Man Roster Status: Lock
The Panthers tight end room is rather thin, so Manhertz should have no problem making his way onto the 53-man roster at the end of camp.
