Jimmay Mundine FB/TE from Kansas is a new name I saw tied to us for a try out. Sounds interesting.

He was mentioned in a Draft Review by Football Savages, an interesting read in itself:
Link-Browns Draft Review

Rakeem Cato.

I kind of like this guy. He's undersized unfortunately, but he's had loads of success in his career.

I saw like a SportsCenter special on him and he just seemed like a good guy.

4 year starter for Marshall. We'll see if he can beat out Conor Shaw/Thadeus Lewis. But i wouldn't be surprised if he at least makes the practice squad

Are they bringing Cato in as a QB?

I saw this on another site

Darrian Miller (LT #77): Looks good in pass protection. Gets to the second level quickly in the run game but isn't much of a people mover.

Sorry to put you through this again, Top... but this was a really nice performance by Miller. Pretty much neutralized Dante Fowler, this year's #3 overall pick. He went out for a bit in the second quarter.


Here he is vs. Shane Ray. He gets beat a couple times by Ray, who really does have an unreal first step. Glad the Steelers took Dupree and not Ray.


vs. Lorenzo Mauldin and Louisville. I haven't gotten to watch this one yet.

That Worley kid definitely looks interesting. I don't a whole lot about him, but he definitely looks the part, and appears to have some NFL ability. I should add that I do not mean that I expect him to be our starter this year, but he definitely is interesting as a developmental guy.

Anyway, here is a scouting report on him.

Overview
Justin Worley has had a short-lived career at the University of Tennessee, as two unfortunately-timed injuries have plagued his chances to show dramatic improvement in his time at Tennessee. Worley possesses the intangibles to develop into an NFL QB as a natural leader, and has the arm necessary to make NFL throws. Worley also possesses a calm demeanor in big game situations that is required to be a successful QB in the NFL.

As a passer, Worley has a great throwing motion that will aid his transition into the faster paced NFL. He has shown vast improvement in his accuracy and pocket presence that should give him a few looks from NFL scouts. One facet of his game that he improved on was his ability to throw passes to where only his receiver could catch it. Tennessee’s cupboard of extremely talented receivers made Worley look like a seasoned veteran on a consistent basis. Worley started his career with a tendency to stare down the receiver of his choice on every passing play. Luckily for him, his senior year resurgence has proven that the Justin Worley of old is no more.

However, Worley’s newfound abilities were overshadowed by Tennessee’s woeful offensive line issues (29 sacks allowed) in his senior season. When Worley had time to survey the field, he proved he can find and deliver an accurate pass. Unfortunately, he was hardly ever given this luxury last season. Worley spent the seven games he started in 2014 running for his life in order to deliver accurate throws. A downside of Worley’s overall ability is that he tends to force passes that he shouldn’t. Even though this is a common problem with many quarterbacks, Worley consistently forced passes on a regular basis each game.

Worley also needs a major overhaul on his footwork. Although it has improved in his time in college, it is far from being NFL ready. He also had trouble with keeping adequate air under his throws to get over the top of coverage.

Overall, Justin Worley has the potential to become an average starter in the NFL. He has all the tools needed to be successful, however if he does not develop those abilities, he could be out of the league quicker than he hoped for. Worley needs to improve his accuracy, as well as his footwork, which is lacking in a big way. Worley will need a few years under a great QB in order to fulfill his potential and develop his game. Because of his small sample size of games in college, he will have to do some major convincing to persuade scouts to believe he has a shot in the NFL. So for now, Worley will remain an undrafted free agent.

Projection: Undrafted Free Agent

Ceiling: Average Starter in the NFL

Floor: Bust

That's what it looks like. Camp arm.

It looks like we have actually only signed 4 of the players we brought in. The rest are all try-out players.

Browns sign 4 undrafted free agents

The Browns announced Friday the signings of four undrafted free agents, a group that includes even more players with extensive experience and production at the college level.

Cleveland inked contracts with Northern Illinois offensive lineman Tyler Loos, Kentucky offensive lineman Darrian Miller, Tennessee State defensive back De’Ante Saunders and Oregon State defensive lineman Dylan Wynn.

The quartet of signees joined the Browns’ 12 draft picks and a slew of tryout players in Berea for the first of three days of rookie mini-camp.

Loos (6-foot-5, 294 pounds) started 33 games over three seasons, earning All-MAC first-team honors in 2013 and 2014 and a second-team nod in 2012. He primarily played at left tackle for the Huskies, who rushed for 3,288 yards and allowed 11 sacks in 2014.

Miller (6-foot-5, 307 pounds) began his Kentucky career as a tight end before converting to offensive line. He was the Wildcats’ starter at left tackle from 2012-2014.

Saunders (5-foot-9, 187 pounds) began his college career at Florida, where he started 16 of 20 games and intercepted three passes. In his next two seasons at Tennessee State, Saunders tallied nine interceptions, one of which he took back for a touchdown, and 15 passes defensed. He also returned 57 punts for 373 yards and a touchdown.

Wynn (6-foot-2, 283 pounds) notched 44 starts over four seasons with the Beavers, a number that was good for a tie for seventh in program history. He split time at defensive end and defensive tackle and tied for the team lead with 12 tackles for loss and four sacks as a senior.

This directly disputes the "roster" that someone put up in the Pure Football thread.

Nah all those other guys are draftees or guys that were on futures contracts before the draft.

I think that "roster" was of players participating in the mini camp, most of whom were trying out for the team.

IIRC, there were 12 drafted players, 4 signed UDFA, and something like a half dozen 1st year players who did not reach the maximum allowed time on the active roster. the rest, something like 50 players, were all trying out for the team.

Collins may have been close to becoming a "wide receiver" if in prison.

He may have gone in as a tight end, but left a wide receiver.

And has, evidently, already retired.

Redskins rookie QB Connor Halliday retires before first practice : Fantasy News
http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasy...-first-practice

Rookie quarterback Connor Halliday, signed by the Redskins as an undrafted free agent, has apparently retired on the eve of his first minicamp practice with the team.

Coach Jay Gruden said on Saturday that he awoke to a voicemail from Halliday, and the two haven't yet talked. "He chose to jump on a plane and head to the house," Gruden said, per The Washington Post.

Halladay set a school record at Washington State, with 11,304 yards. He also threw 90 touchdown passes. He went undrafted after a broken leg ended his season in November.

That's an odd thing with Halladay ... sometimes kids just don't have the desire any longer ... or maybe he just didn't want to play for Washington haha

He was an UDFA. Washington was the team that he chose to sign with.

Though it is a possibility that he got confused and thought that the Washington Redskins were in Washington state when he signed. Once he realized that he would have to move across country he said: Aw heck no.

Maybe he got confused, and though that the Redskins were in the Washington on the West Coast?

If that is the case, then one must wonder about the education he received

It was kind of a joke ..... but I guess it got lost in translation.

Most likely got lost in my early Monday morning haze

Nah, the haze is that after having to get up really early this morning to go to the doctor, that I didn't even realize that it wasn't my post you responded to.

Sounds like Swish gave you some haze for that chronic back pain

My back plus completely plugged up sinuses are a dangerous combination.

Aren't they?...
