NFL News OT: News from other teams training camps

[One-If-By-Sea]

I was stunned Washington took Forbes over him

It will be fun to see how that decision works out. Forbes seems like a good prospect and kid too.

 

[BTTA]

You’re one of them. Ignore.

One of what?

 

[Uptown]

He wasn’t drafted in the 1st round (3rd I believe?) but Justin Houston was also part of that draft class, as was old friend Jabaal Sheard…

He went 24th overall in the first round.

 

[JarOfMayo51]

When did he morphed into Joe?

he looks scrawny as **** in that picture

yea but hes light as a feather, i think he was like 160 something lbs at the combine

Forbes is a very dynamic and exciting ball hawk. Maybe not as good against the run but wow he can really make pick 6s look easy. I do not think Gonzo is as much of a ball hawk. Forbes is kind of like Asante Samuel in his prime.
Gonzo is not going to lead the league in interceptions but will be a reliable cover cb

there were some that were pretty critical of Gonzos tackling and physicality coming out of the draft, but he's been very physical in camp

Forbes is very much like an Asante Samuel in terms of ball hawkishness, but hes not a physical guy and im not sure his skillset is as reliable coming into the NFL because it requires a degree of gambling

Im sure both will be good CBs, but I think Gonzo is going to be the better all around shut down corner type

Agreed. Also, Forbes may be (at least initially) best suited to play in a heavily zoned based scheme; such as quarters, Cover-3, etc..

 

[TBR]

When did he morphed into Joe?

If this is unedited... wow, it truly looks like the body of a 90 year old.

 

[captain stone]

He went 24th overall in the first round.

Cam Jordan did; Houston went 70th to KC.

Ah okay..I thought you were referring to Jordan. I read your response too quickly.

N'Keal Harry to the vikes...

Vikings sign receiver N'Keal Harry

The Vikings have added another former first-round draft pick to their corps of pass catchers.

maybe cousins can make him into something

- edit: you gotta wonder if anyone has talked to him about converting to TE...

Thielen, Diggs, and Jefferson developed into studs there. If he can't become a serviceable WR3 after drinking whatever they put in their gatorade then he might as well retire.

Mr. Burns plays football.

“I always break that rib.”

 

[Uptown]

Let alone Harry..

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Houston is only 34 years old. At 34, he is signing late in training camp, probably his last year. Amazing how guys fall off a cliff after 30.

 

[JarOfMayo51]

Gotta give him credit... as much as NKeal Harry sucks at football, he still manages to keep earning an NFL paycheck

I’m sure it’s not guaranteed.

 

[Love The Drake]

I’m sure it’s not guaranteed.

Changes are he’s in the first or second round or cuts.
