I still think on a roster of 90 players it's worth taking like 1 person with prototype size and giving them a chance. I still look back to when we signed Jeremy Bloom but Bloom was a downhill skiier! That vision and leg strength definitely translates over to being a good return man in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did, I'm just joking about his secondary sport adding ANY benefit to his football skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 6 hours ago, Hockey5djh said: Does he really count as an "undrafted guy" if he never entered the draft? At that point it's just like signing any other FA. I don't think it matters. He's a first year player in the league, so he's considered a rookie and undrafted. I think all rookies get multi year deals. All drafted players get 4 years (first rounders have a 5th yr option) and undrafted players get 3 years.

Just threw me for a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know I think downhill skiing probably does make you a better punt returner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezla Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Not really sure what the point of this guy is, since Billy Brown seems to already be pushing Burton for #3 TE. We really need 5 TE's? Maybe we're gonna cut Celek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be the latter and he could make the 53 next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
