They're players who have been offered some kind of deal with the club. A few of them may run into a situation similar to what happened to a player at our camp that I talked about last year. He was signed, went to mini camp and released after mini camp - all before they ever bothered to announce the signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Making judgements on the basis of grainy film highlights is always tricky but he looks damned quick for a 240 lb man, he doesn't seem to get caught up in the wash too much and doesn't showboat after a tackle. A 240 lb outside linebacker is appealing, though and if he can play the position in the CFL with authority, he basically cuts the field for runners in half.

bearpants Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 His highlight video lists him at 6'2 240.... at that size he seems more apt for MLB... but if he has the speed to play WIL... I wouldn't have a problem with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPuDS Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Wil or mack prospect.. Either one works as we (should) have vacancies at both spots.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbill2004 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Former USC safety Demetrius Wright ... really like the look of this guy as a potential SAM Reading up on him he's quite versatile. Has played safety, linebacker and running back. His 40 time was clocked at 4.49. Was considered a rising star a couple years ago. Definitely like this signing.

James Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I agree with Mike, seems like great competition for SAM. Wonder what happens with Unamba though if we get Sears Back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great use of a DI if he can back up both positions and be a monster on special teams. M.O.A.B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickem Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Wright looks like he'll be one to watch come tc. Solid hitter and looks to have a great motor. Looking forward to getting a first hand look at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
