New contender for “no way he makes this team” guy : Tyler Gaffney returns

[Froob]

So...he’s basically a coach..?

 

[Froob]

Has this dude ever even played in a game? Is he even a real person? He seems to only exist on IR and the practice squad.

Seems like a decent addition to the back of the roster. He knows the system, has low mileage, and will be able to take some reps in camp. Unless the RB unit suffers numerous injuries he's not making the team, but he's a decent camp body and at the very least a serviceable break glass in case of emergency kind of guy.

Is he really serviceable? He's in his 30s and has literally never played in a non-preseason NFL game.

I should have qualified that with "might be" as they will find out through training camp. My point was that knowing the system and being able to take semi quality reps in training camp is basically what you are looking for from someone who signed as the 90th player, and by serviceable I meant as a shadow roster everything has gone to hell kind of perspective.

Yeah I tend to think there’s better available younger players. Gotta be some reason this guy keeps showing up though. I guess he retired, played baseball, and now is back.

When you start to type in his name google says "baseball outfielder", not a football player.

Two super bowl rings without a single NFL snap to your credit may be some sort of record.

Is he a Jabar Gaffney "bloodline" of some kind? Does he have Gaffney Eyes? No offense to Jabar, I loved that glandular freak.

 

[Ryan]

I don't think he has any shot of making the team with an already crowded RB corps. He'll be a body for camp and preseason games, if he even makes it that far.

 

[TheRazorsEdge]

We are talking about a 2 time super bowl champion here...put some respect on his name!

Every time he shows up, Pats win a SB. It can't just be a coincidence.

Let's hope the coaching staff is reading the forum so these novel ideas of checking out a guy's ability to play, and comparing him to others that are available, gets inserted into the team's decision process on whether to sign someone.

I don't think that this is glandular.

Holy crap, that's embarrassing. Total senior moment. There goes my chance to impress in mini-camp. Thanks, Mike.

Gaffney must have even more incriminating pictures than Jake Bequette

No worries -- I knew it must be one of us so I checked. Do what I do: claim you've got wisdom.

Look out for a Jonas Gray return
