There is no way Terrence Nunn makes this roster! - New England Patriots Forums

From the various traing camp reports that folks have been delivering here, Nunn apparently has looked pretty good so far. I'll admit that I haven't given him the benefit of the doubt as to any consideration of being on the opening day roster; am I overlooking something?

Out a year, Nunn playing catchup: ex-Nebraska star learning the ropes by Ben Collins of the Boston Globe

He’s close to a gig with a contending team after being out of football for a year.

After a year out of the game, Nunn is trying to make up for lost time by absorbing as much as he can from someone he considers the best receiver in football, Moss.

“He takes a lot of interest, especially in the young guys,’’ said Nunn. “If you ask him anything, he’ll [answer] you. He’s the best. I’ve looked up to him since I was a little kid. Why not ask?’’

Nunn said Moss is helping him with everything from getting off the press - a much more physical task in the NFL - to working with his hands. It’s showing, too; Nunn twice wowed the crowd yesterday with full-extension catches.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick and his staff have taken notice.

WR is not thier strongest position, but barring injury, I look for him to get some seasoning on the PS. Back-up receivers need to be productive on STs, and he has stiff competetion there as well.

Based on the reports we all read he has to have a chance. Moss, Welker are locks. Galloway is close. That's three. Then what is there, Lewis, Aiken, Nunn, Slater, Edelman. I could see them keeping 3 of those as there's some serious ST play in that group. There will be some tough cuts - and some surprises.

If they knew they'd get him to the PS I would agree. As it stands, although players usually make it to the PS who knows with Pioli, McDaniels, Mangina, etc, all out there looking for our scraps.

Nunn had a really nice grab at tonights practice. Near the goal line and sideline he reeled it in while he was getting hit and came to the ground in bounds and with control.

No but he will make the Kansas City roster along with Green Ellis, Bussey,

Nunn, Thomas, Ninkovich, Pryor, and Richard.

You're overlooking the fact that there is no way Terrence Nunn makes this team.

Depending on how good he is on ST, no reason he couldn't take either of Slater or Aiken's spot. IMO, those three are battling it out for two spots. Based on reports, Nunn sounds like he could be the best WR of the bunch.

It seems to happen every practice. If I had to pick six right now I'd pick Moss, Welker, Galloway, Nunn, Edelman, Aiken. Not that I want to lose Lewis or Slater but the six I picked seem like the best group of "now" combined with "upside" and also ST play.

Moss, Welker, Galloway, Lewis, Nunn, Edelman would also be interesting and a little safer than the group I listed.
