Buccaneers signed CB Mike Mickens off the Cowboys' practice squad.

Mickens was a seventh-round pick out of Cincinnati for the Cowboys in the 2009 NFL Draft. The Bucs continue to pluck players off opposing teams' practice squads.

Damn wish there was a better way to protect these guy's.

Maybe DeAngelo Smith gets a call.

(scratch that, he's already on the Bears practice squad)

Well crap

His Dad, Robert, is one heck of a nice guy. He was so excited Mike was drafted by the Cowboys.

Based on the pre-season, unless he was still hurt, not much of a loss IMO.

I, like many, thought he was a steal

he's fast, but the instincts aren't there yet

Are you thinking of the right Mike Mickens?

He's slow but his instincts are amazing. He jumps routes extremely well, but gets burned constantly.

CB Mike Mickens (5-11 5/8, 186 pounds) looked very good in position drills, and turned in 40-yard dash times of 4.57 and 4.59 seconds

Dangerously close to a 4.6 corner. Fast indeed.

NFLDraftScout has him at 4.53

and didn't he have surgery like 3 months before the Combine?

NFLDraftScout has him at 4.53

They're hand times, most likely, so they'll vary a good bit.

and didn't he have surgery like 3 months before the Combine?

Hence, the slowness.

no, Mama Williams

That's Serena punk. If I could, I'd take Mickens .........Jock strap and shove it down your ......... throat

If they were still running the Tampa 2, it would probably have been a better fit for him.

Trading down for all those extra late picks really worked out this year.
