UDFA Thread

He must have decided that wearing that ghastly green was not worth the extra 25 cents the Eagles were offering.

No I think they got some additional players and to make room let him go. Not at all uncommon at this time of year for UDFAs to move quickly from team to team.

Ok, makes sense.

Lewis is a weird fit for a Shanahan offense: limited agility, goes down after the catch, can't block even the most stationary target, but he's a legit priority NFL UDFA with a receiving future in the league. He's great at playing on the football. And calling him a possession target sells his vertical ability short: he can break a cushion and run deeper intermediate 9 routes.

I don't think he'll make the crowded field at receiver here and he's probably more likely to sign elsewhere on cut day than to come back to our practice squad, but he's a good pickup. He'll likely gain a Marko Mitchell kind of buzz with catches in training camp.

post #69, Im already refering to him as Marko. The ECU guys didnt get alot of draft respect, I expected both to be at least drafted. I remember Spurrier talking about Lewis and Davis after that game last season, they put up some serious numbers.

Lets try to remember that a lot of these guys won't even make the team. Right now I'd put my money on Thomas, Minnifield, and 1 guy from the rest of the field.

[RGIII]

I guess you can't blame blame an UDFA for not signing with a team who showed interest before the draft, yet drafted guys at the his position late in the draft.

I think a Decent pick-up. Worth kicking the tires.

Sounds a lot like Torrain but with better vision.

But does he run with a limp?

Any relation to the great Frank Minnifield?

Can't wait for TC to open I'm going to make at least one that's open to the FANS.

Getting Phillip Thomas and Chase Minnifield is so big at this point. Cant say anything negative about the SMU corner or Bernstein SS pick with these additional 2 guys. Its gonna be fun to watch who emerges in the secondary. Young Skins vs the Vets.

Yep I have to agree with you. I'm looking at it more as we drafted Chase and Thomas and we signed the SMU and Iowa guy as UDFAs..
