GREAT PICKUP!!!!!! I have wanted this guy all along. I don;t know why we got the FB from UCLA but because this guy is going to be a stud. He is huge, has great hands, and can block. Best pick of day 2 for us!!!!
No nothing about him PSU, but his bio sounds unreal, I take you have seen him play, whats your take?

Former basketball player. Has the size of a TE @ 6-1 and 234. Runs in the 4.75 range and is considered to be very athletic.
I'm thinking there is our TE project pick. I wonder how his hands are?
A little small for TE I would think?

Saw a pic of him on Skins.com and he is a total monster. I can't believe he's that fast!!! With his military background, he'll take to coaching very well. He'll scare the hell out of opponents for sure!!! Looks like a great pick and with his age he should be beyond the kiddy immature faze and ready to go!!

It cant hurt the special teams.
I still think some of these picks might be projects for HB or TE.

Dude is sick, sick, sick looking....he was probably the most cut guy I saw at the combine. Also, I knew he was one of the fastest linebackers, but I didn't know he was the fastest! At 4.5, he's almost as fast as Carlos Rodgers (4.45), but weighs 50 pounds more!
i thought rogers ran a 4.35

McCune and Broughton were GREAT late round picks. I can see both of them contributing big time.

From what I have seen of him he is a punishing guy between the tackles. He should be a great compliment to Portis as long as he stays healthy. He also has great hands out of the backfield. He is a huge guy. I was completely blown away when I saw him run at the combine were he timed at 4.55.

I don't know anything about this guy, but I like the pick from what I've read. Luckily he'll be coming into the league with plenty of maturity, he could be a great team leader eventually, and he seems to have the raw talent.
The only thing that kind of concerns me is he's already 26. Typically, how do older players coming in do? How is their longevity? Normally longer/the same than a player that comes in at 21/22?
