Hey guys, I don't post on here much because people rip people way too much, but anyway it is nice to see some opinions.

Not any big news here, and maybe nothing new but I haven't been on in a few days.

I go to college here in the Atlanta area and my friend who wrestles transferred from GA Southern. He was friends with Jayson Foster.

I've heard some people say he will make the team as a receiver. Apparently, however, he is just being brought in as a KR/PR to see if they can afford to keep Ginn at WR.

This kid is elusive and from talking to my buddy, Jayson sounded pretty optimistic that he is going to make an impact at the one position he has a chance to play.
 
Even if he can't crack the roster he'll be a valuable member of the practice squad because there are so many players he can impersonate either as a RB, a WR, or a KR/PR.

Well if he doesnt make the roster someone in need of a punt returner/kick returner could pluck him from the practice squad. He should be allowed to return the majority of punts/kicks in pre season to see if he's worthy of a roster spot. Damn the kids got moves and qucks by the ton.:woot:
 
OMG, I just looked at his 40 time... 4.28!! If this kid can stay healthy, he's a small target to take down at 5'8". Could be a nice all-around weapon for us!!

So natural to assume that and yet, as you can see, nobody felt good enough about him to even draft him. So, why all the sudden a team will feel good enough about him to claim him off waivers?

Actually his own agent said he ran about a 4.41 to 4.52 at his Pro Day. But, he ran it on grass, into a slight wind. That probably translates to about a 4.35 or so in Combine conditions.

The 40 speed isn't why you get excited about this kid. There are others that can clear 40 yards as fast as him or faster. You get excited about this kid because his feet might be the quickest I've seen in a while. They're a blur, like Speedy Gonzalez. That means he's a short strider. Short striders with 4.3-4.4 speed are generally coveted in the NFL. The problem is he's a short strider for a reason. He's 5'7" and 173 pounds.

I agree this guy has amazing vision and great instincts. Normally, I will not watch a 7:30 minute video completely until today. His highlights are better than Ginn, Jr.

what makes you think they WONT pluck him up? just b/c we got to him first or he signed with us b/c of the opportunity to play was higher due to lack of WRs doesnt mean he was a no go for other teams.
 
Can you say Barry Sanders?

This guy better be on our active roster come Week 1. He can return kicks/punts and add a dozen trick plays to our playbook.

How dangerous would he be on the field during a trick play? We can play him at QB, RB, or WR at any time.

At 5'7" he can hide behind any line and by the time the defense finds him, he'll be long gone!!!
