Just found this in a random article about Keenan McCardell and thought it was worth posting:
He's the ultimate possession receiver. He's caught more than 70 passes in a season seven times and racked up more than 1,000 yards receiving in five separate years.
Hmmm that could be nice...a tall possession receiver, who knew there was such a thing?
Later in the article:
McCardell compares his accomplishments and style to former Redskins great Art Monk, who is among the most prolific possession receivers in NFL history. He learned a great deal from Monk during his one year in Washington.
"I took a lot from Art," McCardell says. "He didn't say much, either. He was just one of those guys who did the job when his number was called. I learned how to be a smart receiver from him."
and humble..?
Even Later:
"I always have the fire to play," he says. "I remember a coach saying about one guy that 'you'll have to roll him off the field.' That's the same thing with me."
Now if this guy isn't the anti-Lloyd I dont know who is.
He may be old, but in 2005 he put up over 900 yrds, and 9 TD's. I would not mind seeing him come here.
P.S. we tried to sign him in June, but he lives in Houston and they offered him the same (vet min) contract.
Oh and here's the article. Its a couple years old and there isn't much else in it that is interesting:
