Quote:If the new coach has an affinity for a "scatback" type on his roster, this kid fits the bill better than Grant does IMO.   He's got better vision and lateral agility.

 

He'd likely be a bit of a project in the league though as his level of competition in college looks really poor. 

 

Everybody wants to find their "jitterbug guy" in the late rounds.  I'm not opposed to it but place little value in chasing it since it's a bit of a luxury when you've got so many greater needs. But he's a decent candidate for that role. 

 

Just seems like something you hunt for <i>after</i> you've built out your O-line.  Not before. 

On top of the better vision and lateral agility, he can break tackles.   I said for a later round pick.  He will take Grants spot the day he is drafted so he should make the 52 man roster for one.  Holmes was drafted in the 6th round last year and didnt even make the roster and the Browns picked him up off the practice squad.  At least we will have a late round pick that makes the roster
