Kirby Jackson Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Per text Always liked him but that could be the homer in me. I feel like he has contributed a little bit when given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 @ChrisBrownBills The #Bills sign Naaman Roosevelt back to practice squad. Caleb Holley to practice squad I-R. New Prac.

DC Greg Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I feel like he will never really leave the locker room. This guy will always be a Buffalo Bill from now until the end of time... for at least a few weeks every season. Good for you dude! Keep getting paid!

Kirby Jackson Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 I wouldn't mind seeing him some in the slot. He has great hands, runs good routes and has been a much better game player than practice player dating back to college. Perhaps he can make some plays in the middle of the field and become a possession guy? He's not going to wow anyone with athleticism but can play in a pinch.

Buftex Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I was at the game at Giants stadium when he hooked up with Fitz on that 80+ yarder... thought we had our new "hometown hero". Glad he is back! I don't know if it is mere coincidence, or by design, but Whaley seems to like the notion of having guys with WNY ties, on the team. Beside being good players, I wonder if their Buffalo roots had anything do to with Whaley going after Corey Graham and Mike Williams. I guess it couldn't have hurt...

Utah John Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I think he's a potential fill-in for Easley on STs until Easley recovers. He might even play Sunday if the Bills think he's in shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 It's gotta be tough to be a really good athlete, almost but not quite good enough for the NFL, always on the bubble, but not willing to give up the dream. Roosevelt must be thinking about calling it quits. Best of luck to him. I think he's always given his full effort, but there are just too many guys a little better. At least he's got his memories of being on the team, getting into a real NFL game, and will have stories to tell his grandchildren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naaman has actually had a little success when given a chance. They have no weapons. The hard thing for Roosevelt now is that he has to be in his mid 20's (at least). He's no longer the young guy that teams may invest in. He is a solid, ready to contribute player but there isn't a ton of upside. On 2nd thought his best bet may be a contending type team that suffers some injuries. He doesn't make a lot of sense for a rebuilding team. He can step in and make some plays from the slot though. Maybe someone like Seattle or SF. Edited November 5, 2014 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cool he had some NFL play time with Buffalo Bills. Nice thoughts Kirby. Not a really promising reference by you, but nice to see you care about the kid . Go Naaman !
