Undrafted Rookies Signed

Rock as a RB flat out sucks. I cannot recall the last time he busted a run of more than 5 yrds in preseason. I know he is a good KR and has saved our offense time and again with good-great field position on KR when we were behind on the scoreboard but I'd rather have Shaun Alexander (sarcasm) @ RB than Rock should CP and LB go down. I'm undecided as whether we should replace him, I hope Alderidge or Dorsey can be better or at least on par with Rock in the KR duties to justify letting him go, but if we don't have anybody better, it would be better to take the Rock even if he sole duty is KR.

Well he actually had an 80 yard run in the past preseason game with the the jets (crummey had a nice block in that one)

At the risk of breaking up the discussion of our RBs, does anyone know the story with this WR from Oregon, Jaison Williams. His numbers aren't eye popping, but the kid is huge (the Redskins site says: Wide receiver Jaison Williams, 6-5 and 230 pounds, was a three-year starter at Oregon. He had 174 catches for 2,546 yards and 21 touchdowns in his career with the Ducks.)

Anyone familiar enough with him to comment?

Only thing I've really heard about him is he wastes his natural ability. Doesn't really try, can't catch very well. You'd think otherwise with his numbers though. Not expecting him to make the roster.

6'5" and 230 lbs? Man, if he has any speed at all and can learn to run routes and hang on to the football, he could have a future. Maybe things have come easily to him until now, and minicamp will be a wakeup call. Let's hope -- I am still not sold on last years WRs ever panning out (although I really hope they do), and we have still got to build some more depth in the WR corps after Moss and ARE.

Interesting -- the scouting report had him a little shorter and a little heavier than the Redskins site. His numbers trailed off his last year, which is not encouraging. Nearly 1000 yards his sophmore year in 12 games -- pretty impressive. But it does sound like he's a project and not a lock to help our WRs. Should be interesting to follow, though.

I found this profile on him. Jaison Williams | Oregon Scouting Report - 2009 NFL Draft Prospect
