I actually remember watching this guy play at Army. He did more blocking than catching since Army runs the option

Yeah. He even got a SI article as well. Something about not having a lot of experience, but had the desire to go with the measurable. But, that was a few years ago. Where is he now, as to football?

UDFA for sure. Just for the story. Always good to have one of those stories in camp.

Yes, I remember last year when certified dirtbag Pete Carroll brought in that dude who just got out of serving a bogus 10 year rape conviction. It's a simple, easy way to bring positive attention/pub to your team and your personal brand.

wheres the part of the story about the guy from ECU? i dont see it at all..

 

im assuming it would be about Justin Jones since this article is about a tall TE [Justin is 6'8" ; but he was off the ECU squad this year] but only see a brief mention about an app state player.

 

Near the end when they were talking about who really had a chance.  It mentioned this guy and than someone from ECU and a couple other guys. (actually didn't hear his name and didn't go back and watch it again)

Justin Jones of ECU is every bit 6-7. He has one catch people remember, and that is a Hail Mary against Tulsa on opening week. He's a big guy but nothing more than 7-UDFA.

 

The ECU player the article was mentioning was Reese Wiggins.  Justin Jones likely won't, and shouldn't, get a shot in the NFL.  The school and coaching staff gave him every opportunity.  The guy was taking remedial summer classes, was given countless extensions, and still wouldn't do his work.  Terrible work ethic, entitled attitude.

I knew the guy. We lived on the same floor in Jones hall freshman year. The guy has the tools you look for but his attitude, as well as many others I met and tossed football with left me with a sour taste forward the team in general. Several players were good guys, named Dwayne Harris and another guy who was a freshmen I met but he was an undersized OLB.

I like the running back for ECU (can't remember his name) and think he could be a priority free agent gem.

Cooper is a beast, but he's about 5'8 and not really that big and doesn't posses top end speed.  Justin Hardy and Carden will be ECU's next two higher picks, and Isiah Jones in a couple years.

      PFF names Panthers QB Bryce Young the best deep passer

      By trucpfan · Posted

      Arm is weak? Another useless complaint who gives a flying f… if he makes all the throws accurately idgaf about arm strength. Let’s dive deeper into your complaint no zip on the ball show me a play where his lack of zip cost us anything. Show me a play where his weak arm cost us a completion or because he doesn’t have a Josh Allen cannon he didn’t make the play he needed to make. His 40 yarder down the field to XL two weeks ago was a got d…. dime his throw to AT in the end zone was a dime, his throw to XL 3 weeks ago that the man pulled out his hand was a dime about 30+ yards. What about the one handed grab to AT was a rocket arm needed? You’re logic is so self absorbed your judging the man off what you want him to have and that’s just outright goofy, not judging him off performance not off the talent he’s going against not even the situation he’s facing ex..(4th quarter down by 4 needed a TD) in which he’s outperformed all expectations vs KC vs Giants vs Tampa nobody Gives a f…. about him not having a rocket he’s noodle arm in the last 4-5 weeks has him rated as top 3 QB I think that’s way more Important then satisfying fans need for our QB to possess a cannon these complaints are getting too notch outlandish and quite embarrassing go be a dam Bills fan so your QB can have the strongest arm in the league yet he’s won nothing significant since he’s been in the dam league besides your heart he’s won your heart by having a rocket arm we gotta see what’s his consolation prize for winning arm of the year award. This is just dumb they benched him to help him because he has all the tools but wasn’t playing up to par benched him he  focused on his technique and came back and started doing what was expected what crow would they even be eating this is ignorant.

      Cleaning up Fitterer's Mess

      https://x.com/avl_mike/status/1863950938467189041 Incredible job by Brandt Tilis. Maybe Tepper has finally hired the right group and will stay out of the way. For reference, Dead Money for the past few seasons: 2021: $53.9M 2022: $52.4M 2023: $62.1M 2024: $69.3M 2025: $1.9M All that waste and ineptitude for 17 wins over the past 63 games... Fitterer deserves to be extradited back to CLT to stand trial for war crimes against this franchise. The one caveat is we'll never know how much meddling Tepper actually did, but the results speak for themselves... one of the worst GM tenures in NFL history. Look at this nonsense from this season alone in dead money: Von Bell: $9.9M Hayden Hurst: $9.8M Donte Jackson: $9.7M Diontae Johnson: $9.4M Bradley Bozeman: $7.2M Justin Houston: $3.8M DJ Chark: $3.1M Just such organizational dysfunction, from top to bottom. These weren't even good players. That 2025 dead money number will go up some with the probable release of Miles Sanders, Ian Thomas, etc., but nothing even remotely close to the sheer recklessness and stupidity of the Fitterer Era. Hopefully, we will look back in a few years and see this as the moment where we started to reemerge from the abyss... One can hope... Keep Pounding!!

      Not much. Most are still in denial.
