Yes number 79 was out there on special teams consistently, POC has great coverage speed for his size.

I know of two Chippewas, Antonio Brown and Sean Murphy-Bunting.

FIRE UP CHIPS! :)

With all the basketball coach talk, this seems to have been overlooked here, but it's getting some good mileage on Twitter. Proof hard work pays off. Way to go Matthew Sexton!

Another article. I wish him the best. So many EMU NFL recent players struggled to get opportunities but never quit on their dreams. That's a positive story for all of us.

CFL starts in June. I wonder if he is undrafted if he'd go north to get more reps and tape in hopes of landing on an NFL roster in the fall.

Great quote in the headline!

I dunno. Thomas should have been a great tight end at EMU. He had all the physical characteristics. At the end of the day, however, Cannon and Oakes did much more at the position. I wish him well, but I suspect his future may have been served to be Andrew Wylie II as an Offensive Tackle. Just my take.

I’m thinking if he dropped 10lbs and played DE :-)

I kind of thought that. Too big to be a TE? Curious what his true weight is? Listed as 263.

The CFL is such a better product than the USFL or XFL or AAF or whatever rinky dink spring leagues we have in the states. i HIGHLY recommend giving it a watch.
