The UB kids!


Recommended Posts

I don’t know enough about Khalil Hodge but both Tyree Jackson and Anthony Johnson have severe limitations that make their NFL success a long shot.

 

Late 7th/UDFA seems about right.

Hodge’s limitations are even worse IMO. Linebacker that runs a slower than 5 second 40 is death.

It seems like every few years, there's a fringy UB NFL prospect that people really want to see the Bills pick up. The only one of these guys that panned out was James Starks.

 

I get that it would be cool to grab a "local," but the track record is not good. Mack doesn't count.

Tyree Jackson has serious accuracy issues, Johnson had trouble separating from DBs in the MAC, and Hodge ran a 5 flat at his pro day

Johnson has had nagging injuries for like over a year

 

when he wss was healthy he had no problem seperatzing from MAC DBs... he routinely had 2-3-yards of separation 

 

he just doesn’t have gamebreaking speed

We did give Naaman Roosevelt a shot, though. Like Johnson, he just didn’t have pro-speed.

Roosevelt and Haddad. I think at this point, it makes more sense considering we're not talking about using a draft pick.

 

I'm just not really expecting big things from any of these 3.

Johnson was even picked on some pre-season All American teams.

Not a huge fan of all these UB UDFA's. I'm not privy to inside info, but it APPEARS like they may not have scoured the wire as much as you'd like.

 

Like the Sills pickup for sure. We shall see. They nailed Foster and Wallace last year, so they deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Of course he is a really good football player...

 

the spread offense has changed the game... used to be 25 draftable receivers with grade...

 

now it’s like 40+ every year... talented WRs go UDFA now...

 

he can pick his spot now
