Saw on twitter that Khalil Robinson has accepted an invitation to play in the Tropical Bowl. I didn't even know there was such a thing, but apparently:

Reggie Gilliam was invited to play in the Hula Bowl.

Does the bowl game pay travel expenses??????? I assume they do.

Go Rockets!!!!

Surprise that Gilliam got invited, I assume as a TE. Although, I think he could play LB in the pros.

Scouts considered him the best NFL prospect in the Rockets' graduating class.

I believe scouts are likely looking at him as a fullback. He's got the skill set for that position being a devastating blocker, who can also catch the occasional pass out of the backfield. His special teams ability also helps him.

It was also reported earlier in the season that scouts were looking at Jordan Fisher also as a fullback.

I’m surprised our last TE (Roberts) didn’t hang in the NFL. I suspect some major issues with him. It sure could not have been his hands

Multiple Lions insiders said that he had significant trouble with the mental aspects of the game, and that bled into effort related issues.
