He came to the Bills as an undrafted tight end. I would like to play him as safety some next time we play Gronkowski. I would tell everybody he is Tre White's big brother. Anyway I am such and amateur but geeze I would get him. I think he has the look that some really few good players that I saw in person have had. He is normally proportioned, but big. Usually big guys are built a bit different but he is shaped like a regular guy, just half again as big. And he moves like a smaller man. That combo is a really good one. He would be on the practice squad for at least a year. Anyway he might have flaws that would show up in a up close look. But gee isn't it worth a spot on the practice squad to take a chance on a guy like him? I'll try him at LT, RT, OG, and TE... If he shines in camp, he earns a practice squad spot.

But gee isn't it worth a spot on the practice squad to take a chance on a guy like him? I actually don't see a problem with trying with a guy like this. Putting him on the practice squad and seeing what he can do. He is definitely very athletic. How is it different than asking Jason Peters to learn a completely different position. Or JJ Watt for that matter switching from tight end to defensive end. Guys have switched sports or positions for years. Some positions are much easier to learn than others. I would rather try a guy that may have unlimited upside over one of a hundred other guys that all have ability within 1% of each other. My question is I don't even know if he's draftable or signable. He's only 20, and he has to be out of high school for 3 years so it would depend on when he graduated. How could it hurt to at least send a scout and try him out.

He is big and athletic enough for the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 He reminds me of Moritz Böhringer, bigger than the other boys, and he is going to same training academy that Mortiz went to. Speaking of Moritz Böhringer he is a free agent and with Bills WR situation as it is I'd hope they would bring him in for a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
