That was no Southern accent I've ever heard. Maybe you mean Southern Swahili

lonnie, it wasnt really how he talked. he has that greenwood twang..its just the lack of respect for the team that is calling. Keep the noise down or walk in another room.

the coach was probably like "what the hell, if i have to work this hard on draft night whats gonna happen next"?

I never understand why people use speaker phone when they’re in a crowded, loud room. The iPhone has tech when it’s not on speaker to drown out other noise so you can hear

Why do certain people insist on using the speaker phone at all times? Not just in public places - I see people all the time walking down the road, wind blowing, cars passing by them, and talking on the speaker moving their hand back and forth from mouth to ear. It seems like such a PITA. Just put it on your goddamn ear.

I know nothing about this kid but hearing him talk, he sounds like the product of rural south and an undiagnosed hearing disorder as a child. Not deaf but poor phonic mimicry

Not seeing anything embarrassing about that. Sounds like a good ol' country boy from Mullins, SC. Good for him and his family.

I guess you haven’t spent much time in the black rural south then. Moving to Blount County was the 1st time in my life I was part of a racial/ethnic majority.

Definitely was not a participant when it came to evolution!

Panthers are going to have to hire an interpreter for that ghetto-gab he's uttering.

He will make more before the age of 25 than many of us will in our lifetimes. Talent comes in many forms.

He's from Mullins. The Gullah/Geechee influence there is strong.

Ouch .... that was excruciatingly painful to watch.

He's a good kid though and that video will cause him to improve his communication skills in coming years.

It is what it is these days.

I mean I understood him completely but there is apparently some commonality between Geechee/Gullah and some of the deep mountain accents I have been exposed to. He uses slang but his accent has a lot in common with mountain dialect which doesn’t surprise me given the roots of Gullah and the fact that my region was a maroon zone.
