Draft Scout Tony Pike News
09/01/10 - QB Tony Pike is battling for the No. 3 spot with Hunter Cantwell entering the final preseason game.
06/22/10 - QB Tony Pike, drafted in the sixth round, has agreed to a contract with the Panthers, according to ProFootballTalk.com Terms were not disclosed.
He is back with the Panthers and looking to make up for lost time after waiting for the University of Cincinnati spring semester to end.
He certainly has a lot to learn before OTAs wrap up next week, most notably adapting to being under center here in Carolina after working out of the shotgun the past few years at Cincinnati under coach Brian Kelly. It may sound simple, but it can be a big adjustment for some guys.
"The biggest thing is making the reads as you're dropping back," said Pike, who was selected in the sixth round and currently stands fourth on the depth chart behind Matt Moore, Jimmy Clausen and Hunter Cantwell. "In the shotgun you can kind of see everything and now you're making the reads and adjusting on the fly. But coach Kelly did a great job of giving me some reps under center in practice. We'd even have practices where we worked exclusively under center. But being under center isn't the big part, it's just making the reads as you're going and, of course, learning the new system."
