Undrafted Free Agent Signing List and Tryout Invitees

#9

Whoa, I'm pretty intrigued by that kid Walker. That's an impressive highlight reel. More than just the returns, he seems like he some ability as a WR too. He looks like he'd catch 1000+ yards and 10+ TDs if he played with Tom Brady. Found this blurb about him from the BC pro day...

"Michael Walker, who didn’t receive an invite to the combine, showed that he has some potential to make a splash as a likely undrafted free agent signing. While his 40-yard time (4.46) was not as good as it likely needs to be, he did display some strong athleticism by racking up 21 bench press reps, tying Jeff Smith for the highest vertical (36.5), and finishing tied for third in the three-cone drill (6.96). His time in the three-cone drill would’ve finished sixth among wide receivers at the NFL combine, while his 60-yard shuttle time (11.26) would’ve led the position unit."

The article knocks his 40 time but that seems more than fast enough. More importantly are the 60 yard and 3 cone time. Those wouldnt be wind aided like a 40 could be and I cant imagine the turf at BC is faster than it is in Indy. Looking at his bio from school he is listed at 6'0-195 so take an inch off that and 5-10 pounds. So definitely a littler guy. Looking at his stats, BC primarily used him as a returner. His Soph year he was getting some play at receiver. 30 catches, 400 yards and 4 TDs. You'd think he would have only gotten better but then he wasnt used much as a JR and SR. Doesnt look like he missed much time from injuries. Bad hands? You wouldnt think so looking at some of those highlight catches. BC's QB play did tank his junior year. A little better this past year. Sure there is a lot more to his back story but on the surface he looks like he has a lot of potential.
