    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Told player we would sign him for $500 bonus. He said "I only have about $100 now but can get you rest in a week.” I said “No, we pay you.”

    For what it's worth, I was driving late at night a few weeks ago and stumbled across a sports program on the radio... they were talking with a "former scout" (don't know who it was) about "sleepers" in the draft and he mentioned Callahan. Said the kid had a live arm, great touch and anticipation... said he had a real chance to stick on an NFL roster. I found a clip of him on youtube, and he sure looked like he could fling a ball.

    Anyone have any info on him?? Saw he was listed at 6'1, 215 lbs, and threw for a ton of yds and TDs at the lower levels.

    A picture (or moving pictures) is worth a thousand words. Can someone here break down what you see from Callahan in these highlights? The first few throws in the video show off a really nice, accurate deep ball. Seems to drop it in a basket, with decent coverage from the D. He seems to trust his arm to get the ball to his receiver, even in contested spaces. Also seems to have some scrambling ability as well.

    Does he dominate enough at this level to make you impressed with his talent relative to competition?



    Here's an article about the Packers interest in him: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packe...377206321.html

    A funny story.

    Here's something on UDFA LB Manoa Pikula:

    http://www.vanquishthefoe.com/byu-fo...en-bay-packers

    2016 NFL Draft: BYU LB Manoa Pikula signs UDFA deal with the Green Bay Packers

    By: Kevin Kennedy  @Kevin4byu on Apr 30, 2016, 4:02p

    " Pikula played inside linebacker for the Cougars from 2011-2015 and improved his stock each year. Over his career, he recorded 81 solo tackles, 63 assisted tackles, 12 tackles for loss, five sacks, five pass deflections, and an interception. With 144 total tackles to his name, 55 of them came in his senior year."

    Nor from Ohio State, as any OSU player knows he gets paid to play.

    Packers have no depth at Safety, so Brice has a real opportunity.
