Scouted him a lot for a web site and mag.He actually was a fullback/hybrid for the Ducks.Had a slow forty time and was more overweight than any other tight end prospect at the combine.
That is from my archives for Pro Draft Guide when he was a prospect.All in all, I don't see much for him with the Panthers since they usually fail to fully integrate their tight ends into the passing attack, although Jeff King showed glimpses of potential last year.King is still the guy though in my book.
He weighed in at Indianapolis for the combine at 283 lbs. That is very hefty especially when he sized up alongside the other TEs in attendence.No one said he was slow. He had a slow forty time. So did Anquan Boldin. The OP wanted to know about him so he was given the information.
His combine wasn't nearly as bad as you made it out to be. He weighed in at 244. (Jeff King is the same height as was heavier) Only one TE (Greg Olsen) had a 40 time more then .05 of a second faster than him. Only one TE had a higher vertical leap. No TE had a better 3 cone drill.HE had more catches for more yards than King over the last three weeks of the season. He is a real threat to King.MaddHatter said:
Combine stats don't matter to me. I can tell you know, he was is listed at 250 lbs on the Panthers web site and based on how he looks on the field, I would say that is about right. The guy has skills and I watch every Panther game as I have season tickets and watch all the away games on TV. My feeling is that Rosario will overtake Jeff King and soon. You can certainly have your opinion and I won't tell you that King may have more value from a FF perspective as he is a pretty good player, but Rosario started coming on towards the end of last year and seems to be doing pretty well now and Jake is looking his way in the two games I have seen at home.Panthers highlight vs. the Redskins
Thanks Dave. Great info. I too was at the game and he did look awfully good.Combine stats don't matter to me.

The guy has skills and I watch every Panther game as I have season tickets and watch all the away games on TC. My feeling is that Rosario will overtake Jeff King and soon.

In the middle of the video highlights check out the great catch my Rosario right after the JStew and DW TD runs and tell me if you don't think the guy doesn't have the ability to be a good TE. BTW, hardly saw King getting any targets on Saturday and was pulled after he caused a false start. He came back in, but didn't get a catch all night, while Rosario was targeted several times including a nice 20 yd catch in the first quarter and the nice TD grab shown in the highlights. Dante is DEFINITELY someone to keep your eye on and look at his stats in September to see if he is worth a FA pickup.
I didn't start him but he is on my roster. I kept him over a couple WR prospects. After watching a few preseason Panther games it was obvious they liked him. He will be the #1 TE in Carolina and I would not be surprised if he's a top 10 TE at the end of the season.edited because I've had a few.
Hope you guys were able to grab him late or as a FA before the season started, as he will be hitting the WW and will get scooped up for sure this week!Combine stats don't matter to me.

What a sweet catch to win the game today!!! Awesome, just awesome! 
I saw that too.Fox Sports doesn't know much about him either. They listed him as "Rosario Dawson" in the Air and Ground stats thing at the end of the game.

He was going to be a weapon anyway, even had Smit played. Fox said this yesterday:On if there were more opportunities for Rosario because Smith did not play: Dante's a guy that developed late last year. Unfortunately, he missed some time in the preseason, so we didn't see as much of him. He's a guy we had high regard for last year and coming into this year. Whether Steve's there or not, the defense can dictate a lot of what happens with the ball. So the more weapons you have the better it is. We were probably counting on Dante Rosario a little bit anyway. He was going to be a factor no matter what.
