There's a reason the Gainseville PD internal affairs is looking into why his arrest warrant was quashed, because that's the sort of poo poo that lands normal people in prison

Skov is awesome, and the name would be perfect if the Vikings had signed him.

Misinformation everywhere. Florio actually wrote a  non-idiotic piece about itquote:While it’s unlikely any of the so-called (even if they are only called that by themselves) draft experts will acknowledge that the draft process is a crapshoot, with so many of the guys about whom they’ve been gushing never doing anything of significance at the next level, at least one of them realizes the flaws in the system.

That article is dishonest. Based on talent alone purifoy is a 3rd rounder at worst. Marcus Robinson a 2nd. That's without character concerns

This isn't really a rookie UDFA but the Chiefs signed WR Marcus Davis, one of last year's UDFAs who I guess got hurt and didn't get much of a chance in training camp. He's big compared to everyone else KC has been signing (6'3" 233) and seems to have decent speed (4.56 40 at the combine), but apparently has trouble with the whole playing football thing.

Yeah reading his old scouting reports sounds like he just doesn't give much of a poo poo, doesn't block, doesn't run routes when he's not the target. I don't know how much of that is scout speak and maybe he's just bad at those things instead of, you know, Randy Moss on the Raiders not caring. Also I guess it's a mini-camp invite instead of a signing if we're differentiating those things here.

Are the players that win the Harlon Hill Trophy and Walter Payton Award (heisman equivalent for DII and FCS) usually signed by someone? I see some names I recognize like Danny Woodhead and Garoppolo obviously, but a lot of the wikipedia entries look like they never even tried out for teams. I mean it seems like a pretty low risk proposition trying out a player with potentially high upside.

I think they usually get a tryout at least if they want. I remember Brian Shay being an offseason star half of KC fell in love with for no reason. e: Haha, of course a caste football thread comes up saying he would have been great if he ever got a chance when you search for Shay.

Bernard Scott was drafted in the 6th and is still kicking around.

I mean it seems like a pretty low risk proposition trying out a player with potentially high upside. Dusty Bonner won it twice as a quarterback. He got a look in training camp by the Falcons, but didn't make the roster. Looks like he's doing some broadcasts for Kentucky now; he started there as a freshman but was demoted when Jared Lorenzen came in. I've always thought Bonner deserved more of a chance than he got, but he didn't stick around whatever indoor league was in, either. Chris Hatcher won it as a QB, too, but I doubt anyone gave him a look at all because he's a midget. It probably hurt both that they were Air Raid passers.

He stands over 6’8″ tall and is nearly 280 pounds. He sat out the 2013 season due to an eligibility issue otherwise he probably gets drafted. Jones’ key to success is obvious his size and catch radius. Not only is he 6’8″ tall, he also has a 37″ vertical leap and over a 400 lbs. bench press. His role in the NFL is likely to be that of a move Tight End, as he’s not a good blocker, in fact he played a bit of a hybrid role Wide Receiver role for the Pirates. Lots of teams had interest in his services, but the Patriots won out. Jones will have the opportunity to earn a roster spot. Is this guy actually any good? e: I just looked him up on YouTube.

Considering the bar for Pats tight ends is: 'Is he made of glass?' and 'Did he murder anybody?' Not being good can be overcome.
