Article on perhaps the lowest WR on the totem pole, Stoshak

[top dawg]

Jenson Stoshak has a ways to go by any stretch of the imagination to make the roster. To the vast majority of people he is just a camp body (a term I that I personally loathe), but anything can happen if he puts in enough hard work. If Brenton Bersin can become a Panther---arguably deservedly so---then the possibility of Stoshak making the team is not  a complete pipe dream. One thing that may increase his odds, if only by a little, is that he has a tie to the Shula family. At least that's what opened the door for him.

A good recommendation from FAU wide receivers coach Dan Shula, the nephew of Carolina offensive coordinator Mike Shula, didn’t hurt.

“I don’t stand on the table for too many guys, but I did call [Mike] a while back and said, ‘Hey, I’ve got this guy I’d love for you to take a look at and hopefully it works out.' " Shula said.

As David Newton notes, Stoshak's best chance at making the team may mean the cutting of Brenton Bersin.  Bersin's best attribute as a receiver in my opinion is his ability to hold on to the football.  Stoshak appears to be adept at catching, but as Newton also notes, he'll likely better his chances even more by making his mark on special teams, something that he was obviously adept at as well in college.  That just may be the thing that one-ups Bersin, but Stoshak will also have to win against the other guys vying for a spot, several of whom whose play could conceivably lead to both him and Bersin being left out in the cold.

Until the competition begins, let's hope that Shostak actually plays like at least the poor man's version of the guy that he patterns his game after, Jordy Nelson.

No chance

Bersin made the roster when the WR corps was anything but deep. Situation is much different this year. His best hope is to hang around on the PS.

Bersin is the best Practice Squad WR we have...

We are thin at White Receiver

Newton still doesn't understand roster fundamentals.

Well I for one am glad we signed Stoshak as a UFDA.  I never would have otherwise gotten to see / enjoy the video of him doing those flips and one--handed catches.  The guy's pretty cute.  Nice eye-candy.  LOL. 

 

On just a slightly more serious note... what will the Huddle EVER do if/when Bersin is cut?  Who will be the favorite Huddle punching bag?!  Bersin has starred in that role for what, 2 seasons?

There are 49 pages of search results for the guy on the Huddle!!!  Pretty good for a guy with only 250 snaps on offense in two seasons!   Mentioning Bersin in a thread is a great way to stir up discussion!  I'll miss him when he's gone!
