They have been looking for the next Lucky Whitehead for years. They finally got him.

There we go. I guess he's not too light after all. I guess they inked him, which means he's kind of already made the squad.

He's never been given a shot in the nfl. So he's basically getting a rookie (udfa) deal which is typically 3 years.

For example, Dennis Houston is a rookie udfa that signed a 3 yr deal:

Interesting to see they signed Dennis Houston.

Doesn't that increase his odds of actually making the team?


Wow ...... The kid weighs 155 pounds.

I hope he is fast

At 155, he'd be the lightest in the entire NFL. I read somewhere he was 159, then 175 so I don't know what to believe. He definitely looks good in the USFL, and that's some decent competition of journeymen types.

He's a punt returner which is more important than kick returner these days. If he wasn't so small he would proabably have a better shot as a Pollard type rb that can catch out of the backfield. Reminds me a lot of Pollard in his TCU highlights.
155 lbs. Yikes

Kid has already played a lot of ball this year ..... Hopefully he still has gas left in the tank.

Its not like he was on the field THAT much. Not like a full time starting lineman, etc. Should be ok. and once again he is not going to be in that many plays with us.

It's not play on the field ..... How much did he run in practice and such.
But you are right, he should fine ..... He is light and young

Looks like a promising punt returner. They don't just give away that USFL MVP award to anyone.
