BlueInCanada Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I have to admit I like this draft so far, I mean our secondary concern has been addressed and now we have these young guys to bring in for the LB concern either as backup or potential starters. Also a WR who may turn out to be something for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedinBlue Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Wow....talk about an athlete. His high school resume looks like he's the most versatile player of all time having played quarterback, running back, wide reciever, safety, and finally linebacker at a power house school in Boston.

Superb work ethic and excellent in the classroom. And "he is a relentless competitor who shows excellent range both as a run defender" (ESPN) Here's a writeup on his high school career (to compliment jraneillis college writeup) : Attended St. John's (Danvers, Mass.)
