Anyone think he could help us at FS? I don't think he would break the bank and could be real solid for us.

Just thinking out loud!

I think he's the best bet if Dallas is going to sign a free agent safety.

We get our pass rush fixed and no one here will care who is starting at FS.

For what it's worth, I found this article from 2000 on Grant.



S DEON GRANT
(6-1 3/4, 210, 4.54) Tennessee

Notes: High school All-American. A college sprinter who has run 55 meters in 6.22 seconds and 100 meters in 10.57 seconds. Lettered as a true freshman in football, getting in on 10 stops. Was the starting free safety and Tennessee’s top interceptor in ’98, when he had 62 tackles and five interceptions and also blocked a kick and broke up six passes. As a junior in ’99, Grant tied for the NCAA Division I-A lead in interceptions with nine and had 69 tackles while winning All-Southeastern Conference and All-America notice.

Positives: Has excellent size and great range against the pass in coverage. Has tremendous ball skills for a defensive back as well as exceptional hands. Can and has played wide receiver. A real ballhawk who makes big plays. Has a chance to get much better. Is so fast, fluid and athletic that he might be able to play cornerback.

Negatives: Jumped the gun by declaring for the draft as a third-year junior. Needs to get tougher and to become a much better tackler and a much more consistent hitter. Is slow to support against the run and misses a lot of tackles. Will often duck his head when tackling.

Summary: Jumped the gun by coming out early but still could be a very high draft pick, despite his poor tackling, because he is such a gifted athlete and figures to work out so well.

Actually, I think he'll be the most expensive safety out there... but yeah, he could help us...
