What's an import?

Big dude. Looks like a sam candidate.

29 years old means he's either got to be Patrick Watkins or he's not likely going to get a spot.

Big dude. Looks like a sam candidate.

 

 

I think it's more likely he's here to get a look at CB.

 

We might be looking at going all import in the secondary. Like MIke said, if this guy's a world beater and makes us sit Buchnor, great. If he's not in that category, he's gone.
