^^ Yup as to the need to flash given his speed. On the other hand, I wouldn't classify an undrafted rookied free agent "a real disappointment" for failing to show he is NFL quality.

Given the amount of coverage, investigation and analysis leading up to drafts, it seems to me that the expectation for the overwhelming majority of rookie UFA's is that they aren't NFL quality - regardless of their measureables skills. On the other hand, rookie UFA's that excel, flash or show themselves deserving of being on an NFL level are an unexpected boon.


I wonder what the ration for RUFA's making a PS or roster is. I would suppose it is much lower now than it was probably 15 years ago. (On the other hand, when 28 teams were holding 12 round drafts, a RUFA making the team was really something special - I'm looking at you Joe Jacoby).
