He's 6'6". That's a good start.

SAMMIS REYES
TE, WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM
Washington signed TE Sammis Reyes.
The 6'6" and 260-pound Reyes -- who came to the US from Chile to play basketball -- was one of 11 players chosen for the NFL's International Player Pathway Program. Reyes, 25, played Division I basketball at Tulane. The Football Team signed him Tuesday, and he'll look to crack the roster this summer. “I wanted to go to the NBA; that was my dream my entire childhood, and of course it never happened,” Reyes told the South Florida Sun Sentinel in January. “So when I was 23, my current agent, my family and my close friends, they were like, ... ‘You’ve got to give this football thing a shot. You’re fast, you’re strong, you’re powerful.’ So my friends, my best friends, and everybody around me convinced me to give it a shot.” Reyes profiles as a practice squad player for Washington.

I like this move, leaving no stone unturned. Reyes looks athletic, it will be interesting to see how he translate it on the field when hitting/tackling is live.. At worse, he will contribute something to the team a little more than T. Moss ever did.

I like getting TEs from the basketball side of sports. It seems to be a good crossover position in terms of find open spots, size matchups, and quick burst speed.

.... and, an instinctive use of the body to shield the defender from the ball ... great in the red zone, like rebounding in a crowded lane.


We'll see how this goes -- can't hurt to see how it plays out. Maybe he's a diamond in the rough.

[Pervis_Griffith]

Interesting read ... another QB turned TE ... similar measurements to Logan Thomas.

With this guy, and the dude from Chili/hoopster at Tulane, maybe RR saw no need to keep Moss around.

Might be fantasy, but imagine these 2 work out as strong backups to/equivalent of Thomas. We might not need to draft a TE, leaving us free to use the picks on other needs. A 3 TE set with these guys might be a real boon in the red zone.

We can dream!

[Chief X_Phackter]

Yeah, I bet they don't draft a TE. At least it is not a priority now with six on the roster. Some dudes that are pretty green at the position, but if they can coach 'em up - could be a good group.

[Pervis_Griffith]

This tidbit about our Chilean TE is encouraging ....

I have no idea how accurate these profiles are, but you gotta like a guy who scores higher than Kyle Pitts -- or any other TE - ever - for that matter.

I guess I can see why RR didn't wait to sign him.

Basically, he's a slower, stronger version of Montez Sweat?

That will have the ball in his hands!

[Chico23231]

Worth pointing out, multiple teams were interested in signing Reyes but he chose the Skins as we were early in interest and the agent preferred Ron combined with our TE coach who has a solid history of developing TE talent

[AnonEmouse]

Sweat did OK with the ball in his hands last season

[skinsfaninok]

Redwolves fans are crying..

Of this list only Warriors makes real sense. I’d just keep it WFT
