Quite the athlete. Any info on this dude?

 

[Gaede]

Or Brandon.





Looks like a playmaker

 

[jazzcat22]

So why did he go undrafted?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Championship

 

[pacy]

If he is this good then why is he available?

So why did he go undrafted?

Good point
And I doubt he got a huge bonus because of measurable
Probably more like his agent told Jerry someone else wanted to sign him too

 

[conner01]

No body drafted him
Thus he was available
Someone wanted to sign him thus the signing bonus
Odds are it’s wasted money
But more UDFA get a second contract than 6-7 rounds picks get
Though there are more UDFA every year than 6-7 round picks

Because Pitts Stole all the pass catching Hype and attention.

 

[cowboyec]

Practice squad guy...we're so deep at wr it's silly

 

[Risen Star]

Good thread, Gae.

That is the big question , but i think he is better than some Kids we drafted, he will be a cowboys ,my Pet cat now

If he would have had better QB's throwing him the ball, he could have had MUCH better numbers....plus, he never seemed to get thrown to unless it was a deep ball or the Red Zone....Iowa's passing game has been VERY confusing for as long as I can remember....never seem to stretch the D going vertical down the middle of field....sound like another team you might know?

Agree and I also like the Tech kid we signed in TJ Vasher. Not everyone can make except in ST

 

[Ranching]

Same reason Romo went undrafted....lol

He averaged 11.4 yards per catch and only had 9 TDS in 4 years. Neither one of those scream deep ball or red zone threat to me. Then again I don't watch many Iowa games so what do I know.

We have 4 and a load of maybes
The smart ones will make themselves available to ST
One maybe two make the roster the rest are trying out for PS spot

 

[JoeKing]

No thanks, training camp casualty at best. Our WR group is already full. Maybe just one WR gets added but it won't be this guy. I think it will be Vasher.

 

[Hardline]

He will be given a fair shot.
Let's see what he can do.

I think Vasher probably has the best chance to stick. Every Texas Tech game I watched he killed it on the field.

Again....very mediocre QB play, along with OC issues for as long as I can remember....he is smart, and very reliable.
