Another reason to root for UDFA Jalan Coker

[Ricky Spanish]

I haven't been this excited for a UDFA since Norwell.

Well, he has a very productive season at Holy Cross, and if he's the technician at route running that Smitty says that he is, Coker's got as good of a chance as Norwell and maybe better considering the real and imagined perceptions of our receiving corps.

Just think, they've guaranteed this kid $225,000, and a salary that is in line with millions of Americans making a lower income. They must expect him to be around.

$225k is a lower income?

And he's not some random camp body hero everyone just pulls for because we want a success story. The guy was pretty highly regarded and the only knock against him was a small school guy. He legit should have been drafted. Any other year he probably would have been.

He's got real talent and I hope we find a way to keep him around because he could be a long haul player.

I see him taking up the slot role after thielen leaves.

I have a feeling he is about to be the next Love of this fan base's life.

Coker is similar to Nacua and Jarvis Landry.  These guys don’t need fast 40, they will carve out the D by pure route running ability.  He’ll be a nightmare on 3rd downs if he’s able to get it together.

That's the guarantee. I was referring to his $25,000 salary, which most of the people that earn that have to work an entire year to make. For Coker, not so much.

Remember, Uncle Sam will take about 40% of that.

It's possible, but 97 percent of his snaps were on the outside. But many receivers switch in the NFL. We'll see.

Yeah, they'll probably take 40 percent of that bonus, maybe even off the top, but that 25K will be taxes like everyone else (maybe around 20 percent.
