Xmad Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I'd make a joke about his last name but that sucks for him. Hope he can recover and live up to his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that making the roster. What would he play? Maybe DE is my guess but would he beat out Hunter, Griffen, Robison, Weatherly, Jayln Holmes, Aruna and Bower. Not so sure about that one but has no chance now. Maybe a Practice Squad guy. Crazy productive in college but played a speed DT spot and clearly was more athletic inside than most other DTs and played with great effort. Would be great if he stayed in as a rush DT but doubt he could do it. And honestly as an athlete I would say Aruna is a better athlete and is much bigger obviously. If he did make the team before all this happened he would have been the smallest DE on the team. Too bad, would have been at least fun to see how they wanted to use him.
