Not nearly big enough to play safety in the NFL. Not even an option. Perhaps a nickel corner to play the slot at first if he makes it. Safeties are taking on 6'6" 250-260 pound Tight Ends. You want him on WR's. Some of those guys are big too, but not like what safeties often take on...along with having to register a lot of run support against big guys as well.
Agree on special teams. I think any late rounder or free agent had better go into OTA's with a 100% not just willingness but eagerness to play ST's. I don't recall Jimmy returning punts at JMU. I think he'd be good at it. Jamison Crowder, who the Skins just lost, was a punt return demon at Duke in college. One of the additional reasons why the Skins picked him. He was terrible at it in the NFL. So, it's a crap shoot.

Moreland is a slightly taller, slightly lighter Tyrone Poole, who spent 10+ years in the NFL as a corner. He can add 8-10 lbs of muscle to his frame. He appears to be very strong for his size. If he can add punt returner to his repertoire he has a good chance to stick.

That was a special year, for sure. A team that knew how to win the close ones. I am still pi$$ed about the filthy dirty playing Montana got away with.
Love the face plant by the Ape State player. Scotty McGee had that effect on defenders.

I think it works now. From being kicked off a D1 team, playing for two HC's, and then becoming an all American and breaking the INt record. And on top of that he was drafted and made the NFL roster while playing starting role minutes in nationally televised games!
Great comeback

As opposed to CFL, Arena , or not at all. Also not all NFL games are broadcasted nationally. Monday Night football vs the Bears!
