This weekend rookie camp...

maybe he'd be willing to try it, and if he is bad at it, he might decide he doesn't want to do it. or maybe he will be the next antonio gates.

Exactly. I mean it's not like we drafted these people. At 6'8", 240, could you IMAGINE the matchup problems?! He's got enough bulk at 240 where he should be able to push people around. He also said he wouldn't mind being around the 280 range.

Fine by me.

O.K. I know who this guy is, Yes if you are going to take a flyer why not this guy. Football is all about match-ups. How do you cover a guy this size? Impossible.

I mean if he is a basketball player, you could just throw it up for grabs. You KNOW he's gotta' have some ups.

a 6'8 255-260 tight end with decent speed, good body control, and reliable hands wouldn't be all that bad if this guy works out. I like the idea whether it works or not cuz it's not like its costing the team a lot of money to try this out.

Exactly. I mean I don't see why basketball players aren't more of an untapped resource for NFL players.
