So what’s his problem that had him playing in the minor league?

He was dismissed from the TCU team after his arrest for domestic violence.
- Witnesses saw him dragging his girlfriend across a parking lot by the hair.
- Reportedly she hit him prior to the dragging.

Also, he weighed 158 pounds and is less than 5-8.

Not only he is fast , he got a good understanding for his blocks and uses them. Good to have returners. We didnt have one for some time.
He's the one guy that stood out to me watching the USFL games. I actually thought to myself: If I'm jerry, I take a look at this guy. :laugh:

The other player we tried out also stood out on returns in the USFL, so it's nice to know we're looking at the return game. I had no problem with Lamb doing punt returns when he was the second or third receiver, but now he's the player we are counting on most at receiver. Hopefully, we're also going to give Pollard a bigger offensive role. So it would be nice to have someone take those receiving duties away and possibly even do more with them.

I would love to see him brought in to be a returner. IMO, that is one of the spots on the roster that could be easily improved. As long as he doesn’t have ball security issues (and he doesn’t seem to), then I can’t think of a reason not to bring him to camp.

He also would be a guy that you could use here and there in a game to run specific plays put in for him. And, he’ll cost next to nothing. I like him. I hope they give him a shot.

Better than the oversized WRs that can’t create separation, and when they get the ball thrown to them they drop it.
Maybe the QB could throw a better ball. If you point to everyone around you as the issue, you are probably the issue. Management 101. Stay tuned for more life lessons.

Teams slip up on players all the time. Many made it to HOF without getting drafted. I like the chip on shoulder mentality.
Just saying…this isn’t an undrafted FA. This is a guy who wasn’t tied to any NFL team in undrafted free agency at a time when teams have 90 players signed. He was playing in the minor league. There has to be a reason, even if it has nothing to do with talent.
