Also, Samford runs the Auburn/Gus Malzahn offense, so he should be familiar with the parts of the Shula offense that he implemented from the Malzahn playbook.

Hah!  Trying to get a rookie minicamp invite in the age of twitter....  just saw this today!  LOL

Poor guy, no RTs!

lets talk about a  guy no one is talking about that Gettleman signed to a future contract back in like January.  Larry Webster.  guy is 6'6 252 (profile says 270 now)  ran a 4.58 40 in the combine and was drafted in the 4th round by the Lions out of Bloomsburg.  This dude could be a huge diamond in the rough for us on passing downs.  Freak athlete.

Just googled him.  Played for HBC Savannah State, but couldn't find much else about him.

Poor guy. :(

[Bartin]

If you check the guys twitter timeline he tweeted that video to 28 different teams. No, I didn't bother to check which 4 he didn't tweet it to.

Anyone think with all these TE's we're going after that Dickson maybe heading for the door? 

I think they know they need a TE who's at least a decent blocker since both Greg and Dickson are terrible at it. They brought in McNeill last year - better blocker and worse receiver - but he apparently didn't bring enough to the table to beat out Simonson and/or Brockel.

I came across a few of those types while looking for other invitees. It's a little depressing but sometimes it works. Last year we invited the ECU longsnapper who showed up to the combine (uninvited) andgave out customized beer koozies with his measurements and workout numbers printed on them. Jets just cut a guy they signed after he showed up outside the stadium with "Will run for work."

Agreed, although McNeill retired around this time last year. I think Sandland and McGee are competing for the third receiving TE spot while Bonnet and Johnson will be after that TE/FB "Brockel" role that Simonson currently holds.
