Jerome Junior, was signed from the tryout players. He was a three yrs starter at UCONN, has the size, strength, speed. Transferred after violating team rules at UCONN. seems like a guy who slipped through the cracks, that has a real shot at a roster spot.
You really want to cheer for all these UDFA and tryout players, but it becomes so difficult to make the team. Since we now have some decent depth on our roster. I do believe Safety is one of the positions that will have a new player make it. Prosinski seems like the odd man out there.
The other position where hopefully an UDFA can shine is TE. We really need somebody just in case Mercedes gets hurt. I like Clay Harbors potential but we could really use someone else...
He made a play on Friday that clearly got some attention, but odds are his path to the roster is a longshot at best.
He's from Baltimore and has a cool name, so I'll root for him. Could be a practice squad guy.
The third overall pick in the draft isn't a sure thing to become a contributor for our team. UDFA are hardly worth the attachment they always get in May. Though I guess its just as bad in August too.

With the state of this roster, an UDFA can absolutely have an impact.
