Is he big enough?

I know he's as tough as they come, but when they introduced him at the Bball game he didn't look big enough.

I hate the steelers, but I will have to reduce that hate to cheer for Marvin.

The man makes plays. I could care less about his size. If he makes plays at the next level he will stick.

All he needs is a pre-season roster spot and some pre-season playing time.

We'll see. The Steelers "were very interested in Joe Webb" too.

Exactly how much do you care about his size?

And joe Webb is lucky they did not take him. He would not be a QB at Pittsburgh and with the receivers they have he would be lucky to be on the practice squad

I thought the same thing but Harrison was also considered too short went undrafted and was a thrice cut practice squad player when he got signed

I don't think you have seen the Steeler backup QB situation . 03-old


Antwan Randle-el, Hines Ward, Heath Miller, Kordell Stewart, and many others have been drafted by Kevin Colbert, Dir. of player personnel for the Steelers, because of their ability to play many positions. The modern wildcat formation / pistol package was practically born in Pittsburgh with Kordell running it. Joe would still be a great Steeler.

Sure he has. He's fully versed on the roster of every NFL squad.

There is always room on special teams for linebackers with the desire to make every tackle.

Pffft. I give you Sam Mills. A college walkon who became the all time leader at Montclair State in total tackles, tackles in a season, and tackles in a game. Sound familiar?

He was 5'9", too small to be an NFL linebacker... so he only played in the league 12 years, making the Pro-Bowl five times.

He wasn't big enough either.

I just want to see him on a team that he gets a legit chance to play. A team that is good would also be good. For selfish reasons, I would like to see him on the Titans, Falcons, or Saints. I would eliminate the Titans because they do not seem to be on a road to success.
