Beast Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) So, we’ll have a couple undrafted guys from Alabama and Auburn trying to outdo each other next summer. Should be fun to watch. Edited January 6, 2019 by Binghamton Beast 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmart128 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Wake came from CFL correct? I wonder if he will transition to TE with his size and speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 If this guy could be the impact player that Cookie Gilchrist was when we got him after the CFL, it will be another absolute steal. The CFL may just have been the place he needed to help himself. DAMN EXCITED to see this!!! 14 minutes ago, Steptide said: Curious why he was cut from his CFL team For pursuit of NFL opportunities... they essentially said go for your dream. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeSomeProcess Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Love it. Super productive and is big in NFL terms, hoped he has more to offer than size, cause I’d imagine he’s bigger than most cfl dbs. However love this move and looking forward to see him play.

But he does have good hands and can make contested catches which is mostly what our offense has been missing anyways. The Kelvin we never knew.

Mat68 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 A talented kid who humbles himself and gets a work ethic can become something special. Now this changes nothing of my offseason plans. Still bring in 2 vets in their mid 20's and draft 1 or 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemma Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Alshon Jeffrey isn’t fast, but he has soft hands. If this guy can get himself to block, he might stick. Having a big WR that will get after it on run plays, is a good guy to have on a team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a big WR that will get after it on run plays, is a good guy to have on a team. I don't think he'd do it now, but Alshon's combine 40 was 4:48. Benjamin ran a 4:61. I think the reference to Alshon's is a good one however. I don't think this guy is a lazy and predictable route runner like Kelvin. Actually plays/runs with more energy and aggression. Wouldn't call him unathletic myself. Good signing IMO. He's got a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittakestime Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 It's worth the shot. I wonder if he had a normal upbringing if he would be a star already in NFL. The athletic ability is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Has a rough history. If he passed the McBeane screeens, it means he has mostly straightened himself out. Could be a great talent upgrade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyBills Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hey I like it. Beane found Foster and McKenzie , Foster looks like he can have a huge impact in this league. McKenzie is super dangerous with the ball, is more of a Swiss army knife. Can return punts too. Starting to regain my trust in Beane and his scouts ability to find WR that will make an impact, after he bombed on the KB trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
