Getting back to Jakob. When PFT first post this in the afternoon, I googled him and led me to believe he was 6'4 23o ish. Now I read he's 280? what's the truth.
Couple of other points on the international program.
a. Right now he is part of the 90 man TC roster and will participate fully in all team activities prior to TC. The only "free" part in this is if the Pats cut him and add him to the PS. THEN he wouldn't count as one of the 10 guys.
b. And even though we need all the help we can get at TE, I would have rather gotten the guy the Dolphins got. A huge DT from Brazil who looked like he could run a bit.
Jakob has ST experience. That is the most realistic way of making the team for someone like him. Most certainly not this year but if he gets stashed in that free slot and develops a bit he might have a shot at a futures contract.
Either way unless he is totally useless he kinda opens up a PS squad slot. Lets not forget that BB runs the practice squad not entirely as a developmental unit but also wants diverse bodies that work well as a scout team. If Jakob can contribute there this would be a freebie.
