Stephen Jones, Rod Marinelli are excited about one particular defensive undrafted free agent

[JohnsKey19]

He looks explosive with his hands and Marinelli says he has great feet. Gotta get in better shape though obviously, if he wants to make it.

They should have drafted his teammate...Jatavis Brown

That's way more important than fat on the belly. If you don't have explosion and great feet now, it's not coming later. Fat comes on and off.

Can't "LIKE" this enough. Kid is a playmaker. Don't care if he's only 5'11 230. He runs a 4.4 and plays like it.

Problem is that the belly fat is directly correlated to the fat in between the ears. And that kind of fat does not easily come off.

He looks like he's giving it his all to make it in the league.

They talked about the "former running back" in the article. They are referring to the third string Akron running back which Coe ate just before his senior year. I believe his name was Andre Licious.

As for the ab flashing, it's a Cowboy rookie thing.

But that's not a 6 pack Coe is carrying, that's a keg.

IRVING -- After a press conference last Wednesday at The Star in Frisco, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones was asked about the undrafted rookie free agents participating in the team's rookie minicamp.

Pressed to name a player he's excited about, Jones finally gave one up: Rodney Coe, a defensive tackle from the University of Akron.

Although Coe went undrafted, he was a player the Cowboys had on their board, meaning he could've easily been their seventh-round pick. But they did not have one.

"There are reasons he didn't get drafted," Jones said. "But he certainly has a lot of ability and I think a coach like Rod Marinelli will do wonders for him in terms of his up and down career. We will give him some stability. He certainly has all the ability and all the skills. It's just getting his mind around being a football player and being accountable and doing what it takes to be successful. But he certainly has the ability."

Coe said Friday that it's a "great feeling" and "very humbling" to hear praise from Jones.

Coe was one of the Cowboys' 29 pre-draft visitors, so he knew there was serious interest. The 6-3, 305-pound former running back also had pre-draft visits with the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers.

Hope they can get excited about a couple more by the time camp is over !!!!

Coe's a Rookie Free Agent.

Worry about Randy "Jeffrey" Gregory and ADDLaw, not a rookie free agent that represents a free look and a camp body, nothing more invested than giving the dog a bone.

Hopefully Rodney doesn't bury his bone, everyone knows a dog needs a home.

Some of you physical fitness instructors on here ought at least see how the kid looks in training camp before banishing him to sign up for nutrisystem.

True... I think motivational factor is probably the big weakness. But he's a 'project' so a pleasant surprise would be nice.
