Corey "Philly' Brown + A look at our new WRs

[top dawg]

I wouldn't really call it being optimistic or positive thinking. I would say it's pretty normal to give someone a look. I'm talking about brown by the way...not Lucas. Concerning brown you were talking about how he's just  another UDFA. Which he is just another UDFA. But if that's the only reason you're not going to give him a look then c'mon mannn lol

The receivers are obviously going to get a look, that's not the question. Historically, particularly with this organization, their chances are slim to none.  I can't think of one UDFA receiver that has made the 53 man roster. It doesn't mean there haven't been any, it just means that I don't remember any.  We have had guys like Jared Green, Darvin Adams, and Rico Wallace to name a few, and none of them made the cut.  Of course Philly Brown might be the anomaly, but I wouldn't wager any money on it.  He has speed going for him, and looks to have decent hands (which is a premium on this team), but I still believe that the veteran youngsters have a better shot.  This back and forth is beginning to bore me.  You and everyone else has the right to think what you want about the WR competition. Like I said, in August we will see what happens.

This guy could have been a draftee if it weren't for such a deep draft as far as WR is concerned.

 

Isn't he in the same basic mold as Cruz with the Giants.    Maybe Gettleman strikes gold twice.

Why wasn't this guy more highly touted? From watching this, looking at stats, and combine stuff, he seems to match up to some of the top WR in this draft.

 

I'm thoroughly impressed, drop me on the bandwagon, although I don't know if we've ever actually given anyone drafted below the 3rd round to really shine at the wideout position in our entire team history. Wish we did though, I feel like we've had a lot of talent slip in and out at the back end of the position.

Not sure why he did not get drafted....Could have been the deep Wr class this year. Looks like he could be a steal though.

Donald Hayes. That might be it.

Donald Hayes??? What reference does he have to Corey Brown?

[Razeyfingers]

This philly guy doesnt have enough "pop" in his legs. He looks like a pretty good football player but in the pros there are gonna be guys twice his size that move like he does.

My best guess is that he doesn't necessarily have breakway speed and he can struggle to get away from defenders at times.  

On the whole though he looks really solid and fun to watch.
