Not one single LB out there in the world of the undrafted? sheesh.

 

[ropese]

2 LBs on the PS not enough?

I thought there was only one...

Hmmm...they signed that LB Williams from USC not too long ago to fill Stanbeck's spot. I thought they signed Davis from UCLA, who used to be on Pitt's PS squad, before that. I think he is still on the squad too.

Correct. My bad.

The Deleston kid from UConn has outstanding measurables but is a liability in coverage. If I recall correctly, he's 6'2, 225, runs a sub 4.5 40, and hits like a ton of bricks.

I can't imagine him playing on defense, but if he's of a mind, he could be a terror on special teams.

Didn't realize McCauley never made it, he was an interesting big CB in the draft a couple of years ago.

He definitely had a pre-draft visit with Patriots.

I thought he looked pretty decent in his rookie year. Obviously Minne didn't agree, and by all accounts he's been underwhelming ever since.

No harm in kicking the tires again.

 

[ropese]

Yeah, McCauley intrigues me too. He is a big corner at 6'2".

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Michael Ray Garvin looks like a beast. He probably doesn't play that terribly well, because he went undrafted and has bounced around between several team's practice squads, but wow does he look impressive:






Marcus McCauley definitely interests me. We've had good success with a bigger corner this season in Bodden, and I'm hoping that we invest in developing guys who can stick with the bigger, more physical receivers. I understand the need for corners to be quick and have great balance and change of direction, which favors smaller players, but a lot of teams have huge WR corps, and those guys aren't as quick as their smaller counterparts. So why not develop some match up guys?

Being a fan of Fresno State, I would love it if we would give McCauley a chance. I was hoping we would grab him around the 2nd or 3rd round a few years back, (glad we didn't, mind you) but maybe BB can squeeze something out of him.

Binky! Binky! Get your brand new binky! Step right up and be the first to grant mystical powers on the new ps fodder!

ewwwwwwwwwwwww!

michael ray garvin has crazy speed..olympic type of speed . he was a big time track guy @ FSU and was used all over as a KR/CB/WR but his size and skills dont matchup to the speed but he can be a KR

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

CB Marcus McCauley Fresno St 6-1 203 26 Hr has been with Minnesota, Detrot and Tampa Bay

They worked out McCauley before the '07 draft..

Not bad, though not quite good enough to replace anyone on the current roster, I think:

Deletson was always around the ball during his time at UConn, despite his slow 40 time. He is a hitter and could be a very good special team player in due time.

At one point he had been dismissed from the program but he worked to get his scholarship back (not an easy task when you are under the eye of Randy Edsall).

He was added five days before Stanbeck got the promotion...Adrian Grady was the one who replaced Stanbeck on the practice squad.
