He thrived in the same scheme Bradford did but is definitely a much different athlete. It was Herm who told him he had no use for him other than ST so he left the team to focus on the draft.

You'd mentioned this previously and I thought to just let it go given this player's status and likelihood to make the team/contribute - but since you've repeated it, the same question came back to me: do you have any insights on why Herm told him to get lost (my wording entirely......). We dont think you'll get up to speed fast enough to contribute? Somebody else has proven they're better than you? I asked your Mom on a date and she shot me down.....so go away kid. ?

Because he's not a good coach anymore. He's a my way or the highway guy like most of the early 2000s NFL coaches (see Jon Gruden). He didn't tell him to get lost though, Crump knew he was one injury away from not having any chance at an NFL field even as a UDFA, so when regulated to ST only he left the team. Let your past film speak for itself and stay healthy enough to get your shot. Looks like it worked for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had forgotten I'd asked the question and that puts it into good perspective. Hey listen - I dont know the guy from Adam - but it would be nice to have that kind of speed and aggression on the field. He'll probably have to make it on STs - so visions of him coming 'round the edge or stunting up the middle - probably far fetched - but I hope he makes it.

We definitely agree on them being two different athletes, but I'm naturally distrustful of that "devilbacker" role they had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Puts us at 87 so possible to sign 3 tryout players after this weekend assuming we aren't looking at a vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Tom Grossi just posted a video 3 hours ago and thought Brooks was one of his top 3 UDFA likely to make the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBPFan Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 This is why the Packers don't announce UDFAs until they actually sign the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
