he only has one year of college football and with the jumping ability he may headed to the practice squad

According to Cowboy info, he's 6-0, 195 pounds and is a CB from Tulane. Originally went to camp with Jacksonville in 2004 s a rookie FA but was released prior to start of season. Spent 2005 with Toronto (CFL) whre he recorded 2 tackles and 3 stops on ST; also saw limited action returning punts and kickoffs.

On surface he does look like a developmental player so PS seems most likely. But spending one year in the CFL (even tho it very different from NFL) might have improved his CB skills enough so that, combined with a good ST showing, he could challenge Nate Jones for #5 CB job; his jumping ability might be intriguing. Hey, the more battles we have in TC, the better players we end up with on the team--even on the PS.

according to this article he has 4.39 speed and was a free safety

Other then the fact both played Basketball and both appear to be DBs, I don't see a strong simularity.

This kid is not even 6 Ft.

Green was somethink like 6-4 coming out of Wyoming if memory serves.
