I am not getting excited yet. He hasn't made the final 53 man roster.
On a side note we can trade Betts and Randle El now and either promote or cut Rock.
In one sentence you're saying don't get too excited because he hasn't made the final roster. Yet in the next, you're talking about getting rid of 2-3 similar players

It was announced, but I don't think Rayner is from Canada is he?
Pardon. No, I think he plays up there also. Not a native of Canada.
This would be an upgrade at the RB position maybe and it would be the scat back the RB coach was requesting to play along side Portis. I wonder if this is the end for both Rock and Betts?

Maybe he'll become our less expensive version of Sproles?

The Redskins also signed Michael Grant

He could compete for some DB depth
They made a bunch of other signings as well, but mostly camp filler I think

Actually Jeremy Cain is an interesting pick-up. He's a long snapper...could it mean the end of Ethan?

Darn it. I was about to call it too. I was going to say something like Dorsey will be called by some as camp fodder. I didn't put it in my previous post for what ever reason. Man oh man.

Here's a good run by Dorsey:

Not to be a downer but can anyone think of the last Canadian prospect that would make the kind of impact that is being suggested.
I have a hard time getting excited for these undiscovered prospects who get cut annually during training camp.

Can someone put the Marcus Monk name in the Redskins ear at some point. Another young WR perhaps on the cheap to try out would be nice also. lol.
