I'm not going to make an argument as to whether or not he has the skills BB is looking for. But, according to this 2007 SI article, I'd say he's got two things going for him:
(1) Vrabel/Brown-like versatility:
(2) A good head on his shoulders:
I don't know if he would make a good Patriot, but I certainly hope he catches on somewhere.
(1) Vrabel/Brown-like versatility:
So far, Rice has gotten the most out of Casey. This season, he's played quarterback, wide receiver, tight end, slot receiver, defensive end, running back, and he's the holder on the field goal team and left guard on the punt team. In the Owls' nationally televised victory over Southern Miss, Casey caught two passes for 16 yards, rushed 12 times for 38 yards and was prominently featured on both defense and offense.
(2) A good head on his shoulders:
Casey thought about playing college baseball, but his family needed money. "I was telling the scouts that if I went in the top 10 rounds of the draft and I got a fair signing bonus that I'd play professional baseball," he says. "The signing bonus was really going to help my family out."
