A 4.49-second time in the 40 at 6-foot-4 and 248 pounds and a broad jump that rivaled any tight end to ever participate in the Scouting Combine. www.si.com/nfl/packers/transactions/packers-give-chance-to-former-d-iii-player-with-meager-history 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 He was a WR in college and has run a sub 4.5 40. He has bounced around the league for a while on the fringes, but if you're going to stick a guy on your PS for emergencies, I think you could do worse.

I don't know how he even got invited to the Combine with his collegiate resume: https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/transactions/packers-give-chance-to-former-d-iii-player-with-meager-history If you read the article carefully, while it says his 40 time and broad jump compare with the best ever at the combine at that position ((TE) it doesn't actually specify that he achieved those measurements at the combine. I'm guessing he had a pro day somewhere. Since St Thomas is a division III school, they probably don't have a college wide pro day. Perhaps he hooked up with a nearby Division 1 school for his pro day. I presume he tried out and did well in the tryouts for the teams where he's been signed, the same way he landed a spot on the Bills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering how a DIII player who barely touched the field got a Combine invite. Still wild to me that given his resume, he's gotten multiple shots in the NFL just based simply on size, measurements, and athletic ability. Definitely a Cinderella story if he ever amounts to something in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
