WR who played for UT in 2013. Was highly regarded recruit, may have even been a 4 star. Played sparingly as a true frosh, but that fall his mom was killed in a car accident, so he decided to go back to FLA to be nearer to home, and ended up at USF. Drafted by the Vikes in the 5th round.
Ok, so I can't seem to find an official Raiders roster anywhere yet, but am assuming Hester made it, or else it would be all over twitter. So, here's where I think we are with UT Rockets:
On NFL Rosters:
Rodney Adams - Minnesota
Barry Church - Jacksonville
Jayrone Elliott - Green Bay
David Fluellen - Tennessee
Treyvon Hester - Oakland
Kareem Hunt - Kansas City
Brett Kern - Tennessee
Greg Mancz - Houston
Bernard Reedy - Tampa Bay
Michael Roberts - Detroit
Cuts:
Travaris Cadet - Cut by New Orleans
Ruben Carter - Cut by Pittsburgh
John Greco - Cut by Cleveland
Zac Kerin - Cut by Minnesota
Rolan Milligan - Cut by Detroit
Storm Norton - Cut by Detroit
Alonzo Russell - Cut by Cincinnati
Junior Sylvestre - Cut by Miami
Retirements:
Andrew Hawkins - retired
Bruce Gradkowski - retired
I expect Norton, Kerin, Russell and Milligan may be candidates for practice squads. We'll find out by Monday.

Thanks. I remember people talking about him now but can't recall him playing at Toledo. Here's to a long career!

Greco will be on someone's roster by early this week. Teams won't let a lineman with that much starting experience stay unemployed...

He didn't play much his 1 year at UT, so not surprising folks don't remember him. Stats say he had 2 catches, 1 rush and 2 kickoff returns that year.
In an interesting twist for former Rocket OLmen, it's being reported on twitter that the Lions have picked up Zac Kerin off waivers from the Vikings.
Being reported that the Packers have traded Jayrone Elliott to the Cowboys. Packers reportedly getting a 7th round pick next year. Wow.
Big day for UT Rockets.
Jordan Strack reporting that Lions have signed Storm Norton to their practice squad.
and elsewhere being reported that they have signed Rolan Milligan as well. So that makes 4 Rockets with the Lions now.
Last Tuesday's Washington Post Sports Section had a feature story about fantasy football. The player they featured with a nice photo was Kareem Hunt. I meant to post this earlier, but was unable to.
Welcome to the Launch Pad 'Old Rocket'! Great to have you posting with us!

Reedy
Church
Hester
Elliot
Norton

Johnson

Zac Kerin - Detroit
Brett Kern - Tennessee
Greg Mancz - Houston

Greco may still get signed by someone. Sylvestre and Russell are probably both long shots to be put on someone's practice squad.
