HarkinBanks Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Here you go... 6'2, 225 4.4 in the 40 19x225 lb. bench press 36" vertical 21 TDs last year, 47 total. Leading rusher in the East/West shrine game: http://www.athrec.mcmaster.ca/athletics/te...umsdenrecap.htm http://www.athrec.mcmaster.ca/athletics/te...heccrighton.htm And he is practically local!

Frez Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Another Canadian RB that will try and make it in the NFL. Will he or won't he make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 The Bills would love to have someone from Ontario on their squad. The RB from Ontario would increase Buffalo's drawing area. While some numbers might be inflated, you have to like his 4.4 speed and size...Not to mention the ability to catch out of the backfield, something we'll probably see a bit more of from our RB position this season.

In terms of getting a guy from Ontario, Nick Kaczur might be worth looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A number of teams are now flying him in for personal workouts. When you see Clarett's numbers, it is amazing that Lumsden was not even invited to the combine.

its only real shh Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Thats funny, really. Hes white and this is the 2000s, white rbs dont last long in the nfl (99% of white college rbs dont even get drafted) unless their very good special teamers. This aint 1976 and his name isnt Franko Harris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark VI Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Lumsden is hardly an unknown to NFL scouts. With his size, speed and ability, someone should take him on Day 2. Would be a very popular pick in Buffalo. This guy is a legit talent who can help a team immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Bills have a nice history of sleeper pick ups from small schools don't they? Andre Reed and so on. Being a native of Burlington I would love to see him on the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandius Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I agree with the poster "its only real shh"... all I needed to know about this guy was that he's white. No thanks. I'm already sick of our high motor defensive ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a native of Burlington I would love to see him on the Bills. 300987[/snapback] Not since TD came in. They took Terrance McGee in the 4th in 2003, but TD likes big school guys. The only other obscure school pick was Tyrone Robertson in the 7th @ pick 238 which is virtually a throw away pick. They must have really thought McGee was special. The small school guys come in as undrafted free agents . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrLocke Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I have heard he runs too straight up or in other words too vertical. This is problematic because in the NFL in order to break tackles you must bury your head. Perhaps if he has a good vertical and a good set of hands we could switch him to WR. Having said that about his running style I must say I have never seen him play I just have a friend who plays LB in Canadian College Football.

TigerJ Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 He's rated a 6th round value. I have no problem spending a 6th rounder for a guy to back up our starter. You have to wonder what kind of coaching he had at McMaster. Maybe Buffalo's coaching staff can correct some of his deficiencies in technique.
