During his media availability at this year’s scouting combine, Carolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer brought up James Campen’s fascination with Brady Christensen. More specifically, he told reporters that the team’s new offensive line coach wished the rookie would’ve played more on the blindside in 2021.
Today, we got to hear it from Campen himself. In his first presser in front of the Charlotte media on Wednesday, the highly-regarded and well-respected football mind waxed poetic about Christensen’s notable traits.
“Things that you see with traits is he’s a very highly athletic guy,” Campen said of the 25-year-old. “He’s quick off the ball. He has good footwork. He has those intangibles. He’s a hard worker, you can tell that. Things he does from a mental standpoint—he doesn’t get disrupted when things are bad. He gets back up, runs the next play. Doesn’t have mental errors. Things like that that are real noticeable.”
