Looks like a bigger back out of Notre Dame. What do we know about him? I'm not even sure of the spelling.

Insurance in case Blount doesn't re-sign?

Training Camp Fodder. He'll compete with Quentin Hines and Brandon Bolden.

Reading that a number of scouts felt that he would have been a mid-round pick had he not torn his ACL during his Sr year at ND.

MIA liked him enough to put him on PUP all of 2013. BAL liked him enough to have him on their PS. Clearly the kid is a fringe NFL-er but hes got enough going where teams like him enough to keep him around.

With this team, I've learned not to underestimate TC fodder. If he's smart, hits the hole hard, make the right reads and cuts, bust some runs every now and then, can pass block and doesn't fumble in the pre-season, you never know...
