Good
WR Brenton Bersin
Locked in a competitive battle for one of the final receiver spots, Bersin made a positive impression in the preseason opener against the Ravens.
This first catch came on a 3rd-and-17 with the Ravens in man coverage underneath. Bersin gets a clean release off the line of scrimmage and runs a deep dig across the middle of the field for the reception. He’s not shy of contact, which is huge for any slot receiver:
On this next example, Bersin uses his left hand to create an inch of separation and he hauls in a catch over the middle. Again, he’s not afraid of contact, as this shot left him with some sore ribs:
Finally, Bersin shows reliable hands and athleticism to complete the catch and fall out of bounds to stop the clock. Fellow wideout Damiere Byrd had a similar opportunity on the same drive, but couldn’t complete the process of a catch. If Bersin continues to make plays like this, it will be tough for the Panthers to cut him:
Three isolated clips from a game I didn’t watch because, c’mon it’s preseason. But if he keeps doing that, I’ll stop saying bad things about him. After all, he did inspire me to donate my ponytail to Locks of Love.
Thanks for the breakdown.
Love the video breakdowns, keep em coming.
