Beans90 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I have been going to UB games for the past 8 years now and seen roosevelt play alot. He is a very good athlete and is a fast deep threat. I think he makes the team as the six guy. behind evans, easley, johnson, parrish, hardy. What does everybody think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conch Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 maybe practice squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
300yrds Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 practice squad at best. he is actually pretty slow i think. there is a reason that everyother school wanted him to play as db, because he is not a wr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Yeah, probably practice squad. Usually they keep 5, so Evans, Hardy, Johnson, Parrish, and Easley are the most likely. Unless an injury or someone from that list gets terribly outplayed. Or if he can bring something else to the table as a special teams contributor, but his slight frame doesn't lend itself to be a great special teams player.

BobbyC81 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 practice squad at best. he is actually pretty slow i think. there is a reason that everyother school wanted him to play as db, because he is not a wr. Remember that he finished last season with an injury. He may be a little faster than what he was timed at the Pro Day. He dominated in the MAC in 2008. I think he's put on practice squad but may have an NFL future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills1960 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 With our lack of depth at WR I'd say it's possible. A couple nice catches and a TD or two in the pre season than he should. Oh, and if he can play special teams that could help too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the practice squad but I doubt he makes the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NishP Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Training camp fodder Really training camp fodder? Lets see, he's from buffalo loves everything about the bills and loves football im guessing he might even be on 2bills drive so keep the stupid ass remarks to your self. We should all be in his corner seeing how he is attempting to do something that we all would love to do play for the bills! BTW no way in hell naaman is slow i ran a 4.4 40 in high school and he used to keep up with me when we were younger lol, so that time has to be due to an injury. That is all GOOD LUCK NAAMAN!

NishP Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 If you ran a 4.37 40 maybe you should be trying out for the team... Man i ran track and that time was in track spikes so im sure it would be more like a 4.44 in football cleats and on turf or grass lmao plus i was 130 pounds soaken wet in high school hahahahaa... but seriously i think we all should be pulling for people like naaman and even mike williams talent from the inner city never makes it out but these guys did.

This is very true, hell i ran college track and a 4.49 in the 40. I am also 6'3 215, when in shape 195. And I would have no business trying out for an NFL team, semi-pro maybe. Speed isn't the only thing for a WR. To the second point, we should be rooting on local talent as it would be also to have a guy like Jon Corto make the team and be even better than Corto by being able to contribute as an every down player. Come to think of it, the last local boys that i can remember making a huge contribution to their teams are Moose Johnston, Shane Conlan and Donny Majkowski. Unfortunately none of them have played in 10 years. So, WNY players should be rooted on towards NFL success, or else we may end up with a bunch of Mike Mamula's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSEFEFFER Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Naaman has great body control. Just from having watched him he seems to play bigger by maintaitining great position vs. his defender(s.) That Hail Mary play where he beat 3 defenders illustrates the point. He maintains great position and then beats the defender to the ball. From the little I have seen of Hardy that was his biggest problem. As big as he is he should never let a defender beat him to the ball. I think he can make the practice squad this year and he can eventually make the roster if he develops more upper body bulk to play with the NFL DBs. Good luck Naaman.

Leonidas Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 No. I highly doubt Chan carries 6 WR's again. It'll be Evans, Parrish, Johnson, Hardy, Jackson, and Easley competing for the five spots. Welcome Drew Haddad II. See you next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome Drew Haddad II. See you next year. It'd be a good story... but I'm with Leonidas. Practice Squad probably. Barring injury, I don't expect to see him on Sundays.

apuszczalowski Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I would say no, he doesn't make the final roster, but he will be put on the practice squad most likely, unless he really thrills them during training camp. Most UDFAs end up guys on the practice squad for a year or 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 With Nixley mentioning that he would like bigger receivers and the fact that they will be running more of a spread style offense, I wouldn't be surprised if we keep 6 WRs and Naaman makes the team and Parrish gets cut. Evans Hardy Johnson Easley Jackson Roosevelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans Hardy Johnson Easley Jackson Roosevelt Fortunately, unlike the people on this board, Gailey doesn't give a **** that he went to UB. There's no way he makes the team. He said he preferred bigger WR's to smaller ones on the outside. He didn't say he had no use whatsoever for smaller WR's. Parrish stays, unless Easley beats him out and they cut the roster to five WR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naaman would have to surpass him as well. I also don't have as much confidence in Chad Jackson as some do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
