But do you think the coaching staff would actually waste a 5th round pick on a guy who simply could run fast and was big? I actually think the coaching staff saw something more in him than that. They were wrong and admitted their mistake by cutting McCune and signing him to the practice squad, but I doubt they drafted him simply on the basis of his size and speed.
