Ive been like all the other diehard fans of the world, I've been scouring the web for any news on our Boys and watching every highlight film of potential draft picks.. Daydreaming how I would draft.. But I wondered off the traditional path a bit. I started wondering what happening to a some of the guys I was exciting about after last years draft and I came across this article I figured was interesting enough to share.

After we signed him undrafted I became intrigued and thought he could stick around, but I knew it would be a uphill battle..at the time atleast. He's a big, athletic back that looks good on film. He even stuck around for a good month before the Boys let him go. (Hindsight: if the FO would have known how Randle turned out, I believe they would have kept Days) I was disappointed that we didn't put him on the practice squad, but he seems determined to make it at the NFL level. He is the definition of the RKG and if this article is accurate.. If he can run a 4.4 forty at his size. I'd give him a second chance to atleast add depth to our current RB situation.. All Days

Pass...the sun has set on this guy's chance. There are some warehouses in Atlanta looking for
runners who couldn't run in the NFL.

Where did he run that 4.4 forty? Not saying he didn't or anything.

He looks on tape more like a 4.7-4.8 guy. Reminds me of Alfred Morris but looks even slower.

What's it going to be then, eh?

He ran in the 4.6s last year. Now he claims he can run in the 4.4s when Georgia Tech has their Pro Day.

I was high on him too. Problem is that GT's offense does zero favors to their backs in regards to a pro styled offense.

Admit I would like to see us sign him to a futures contract, but I think the Cowboys have moved on.

He supposedly is down to 215 from 230 or so last year. Tech has their BBacks bulk up to take the hits they get on every play. The weight loss plus speed and agility training might have resulted in better times, but I am skeptical he is running 4.4 flat.

and he has a degree from Tech, so I don't think any warehouse jobs are in his future.
