I understand that about the 53 man, especially with the CB issue yesterday. But I seem to remember the consensus among the staff/FO during offseason evaluations was that he simply wasn't an NFL caliber player. Looked flat out terrible on a consistent basis. I understand he's come a long way in during OTAs and camp, but I find it hard to believe that a guy who looked to be on his way out of the league has turned himself into a starting caliber player in a matter of months. But hey, we can hope.
