I heard someone mention that this morning and I think it was the first time I had heard it.

 

Googled it and yes, it is correct. Sort of.

 

Was brought in by the Colts after the draft for a workout but was not offered a contract.

 

Oops.

Yeah, but we didn't invite him in for a tryout then tell him to get lost.

 

The NFL is full of coulda-woulda-shouldas. Anyone remember when Jarrett Boykin was a Jaguar?

I'm still not that upset that Jarrett Boykin isn't a Jaguar. He's losing his WR3 job to a rookie this year. 

 

Oliver on the other hand, looks like the real deal.

But this thread isn't about the Jaguars, Mr. Colt Apologist.

Boykin sucks, purely  a product of A-Rod.

I loved him before the draft.  I had him in my top 10 final rankings for running backs.

 

"Branden Oliver is intriguing as a cutback, shifty runner.  He may be suited best for zone and stretch schemes." 

 

He's doing well in San Diego's zone blocking scheme.  Sometimes I feel like someone should hire me to run their team.
