BB signs Swiss Army Knife to the roster...

[DaBruinz]

The Patriots signed WR/CB/ Special Teamer Gunner Olszweski to the roster.

Olszweski played for the Bemidji State Beavers and was a CB, punt returner and special teams ace.. He was named DII Defensive player of the year for his play at CB..

I don't have any accurate information on him. Just that he is 6' and 170 lbs.. Currently looking for Pro-Day Info.

Pats have him lining up at WR where he can make use of his soft hands..

Already a thread with quite a bit of info. True underdog story!

Seems like he’s the annual forum binky that either gets cut after TC or ends up on the PS.

Who gets cut to make room?

I think they had a spot open after Veldheer's retirement.

Got to love the Patriots. Let’s find the top DB in Division II and make him try out at a position that he hasn’t played since HS (if ever). He must’ve shown something in rookie minicamp. I believe that is the route that M. Butler went.

 

[SBLIII]

Roster lock tbh.

They didn't need to cut anyone to make room because of Veldheer's retirement.

Personally, I feel, that Patriots signings should get their own thread and not be lumped into other topics. Such as NFL Free Agency or OTAs..

I also felt that this was intriguing because of the numerous positions the guy has played and his name is just Awesome..

More info on the kid:

Bemidji State Football's Gunner Olszewski is a D2 Sensation

"Olszewski stood Jahner's partial scouting report on its head as a true freshman in 2015, playing all 11 games and earningNorthern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) Defensive Newcomer of the Year recognition as well as First Team All-Conference honors."

"“This kid just has that innate sense of what’s going to happen before it happens,” explains Jahner, now in his 27th season as a college coach. “He’s always in position, he’s very intelligent and he anticipates like no other. He’s not going to win any track meets, but he’s quicker than a hiccup. If he needs to go somewhere he’ll get there, and he pursues every single play like it’s his last. On the field, Gunner plays as big as anyone.”"

Kid sounds like the prototypical Patriots player...

Another interesting note.. The kid was the holder for his college team on Field Goal Attempts.

I found this about HS:
He didn't do a lot of receiving (6 receptions ???)

He also played baseball. Ironically, he was a catcher for the team..

In case you're wondering about the Bemidji Beavers schedule, they played a pretty formidable lineup: the Golden Bears, Bulldogs, Mustangs, Huskies.

(That's the Concordia-St. Paul Golden Bears, Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs, Southwest Minnesota State Mustangs, and St. Cloud State Huskies.)

Oh, and sorry. I wasn’t trying to harp on you for starting the thread. If it came across that way, I apologize. I only replied because you had mentioned you weren’t able to find anything on him yet. I do agree that any signings warrant their own thread.

A few different heights for him on the 'net ranging from 5'9 4/8 to 6'. My eyeball test says closer to 6'...
