Don't know a lot about him, anyone have any info?

Didn't this guy start for Atlanta a bit this year?

The link says he has started 13 games over the last 2 years, I believe.

Apparently ranked 60th in Madden Football for whatever that's worth.

But then again who the hell were the other guys who came in to the Pats system with "no name" and became decent players.

They are playing two rookie guards with the first team. Wendy is hurt. Klein stinks and Devy is a turnstyle.

The add cant hurt.

I think he's more of a depth signing.... I don't know anything about him, but he can't be any worse than Devy is

From the Atlanta Board:

"I thought Gunn did decently for what he was. Definitely seemed like a low-ceiling power scheme guy though"

"I really liked what I had seen from Gunn. Guess he couldn't adapt to the new line."

"That's a pity. I had high hopes that Gunn could be something for us. Maybe it was a scheme thing"

"Gunn seems more suited for a power blocking scheme. I think we will see more guys cut and others brought in."

Feels like a power run game is coming this year.

No. It says he APPEARED in 13 games over the past 2 seasons.

OG Harland Gunn, claimed by #Patriots on waivers from Atlanta, is a second-year player out of Miami. Adds depth after OT Kevin Hughes injury

I think they already cut Klein to make room for Kline last year.

Plus they decided to let Devy go in place of Devey.

My mistake, I read it wrong apparently. Thanks for the correction.

Assuming that these Atlanta fans are correct and the Patriots see Gunn as a fit in a power scheme, then this is evidence that suggests that you are correct.

So you're saying he is a hired Gunn?

Well, since we claimed him off waivers, wouldn't that suggest that we want "Gunn control"?

Not only that but Im pretty positive he's also a son of a Gunn.

Better than a fired Gunn.

Let's just hope we don't have a loose Cannon as well.

Agree with others suggesting camp fodder.

I wish this forum had spell check for players..
