    Jamarko Simmons - interesting prospect

    Jamarko Simmons - 6-2/231

    Why didn't this guy get more looks? I'm very intrigued by his stats, reminds me of an A.Boldin type of receiver...

    Simmons wasn't drafted in any of the 7 rounds Saturday or Sunday and becomes the 4th the Bronco headed to the NFL from the 2008 team. Simmons vaulted himself even further into the spotlight after a solid Junior season.

    Simmons dominated against rival Central Michigan with 118 yards on 13 catches and torched 1st round draft pick Vontae Davis at Ford Field when the Broncos knocked off Illinois.

    Simmons caught 11 passes for 174 yards in that Broncos win. He had 12 100-yard receiving games in his career, including a personal best of six in 2008.

    Why didn't this guy get more looks??? Character issues??? I know some of you mentioned him on the draft day thread, but i'm surprised no one used a pick on him... I'm glad we picked him up in the undrafted free agent pool...

    Thoughts??? (I think he can be a real sleeper)

    For some reason, his 6-foot-2, 232-pound beast-like frame, 4.5-second 40-yard dash time and record-setting production in college isn't enough to make him an elite NFL prospect

    Some of these undrafted guys that we signed are intriguing--a couple of the WRs have good size/speed ratios and were productive, but they played at small colleges. The LB is intriguing also.

        This kid is a real good looking prospect. I really think guys like him point out that 7 rounds doesn't net all the propects. Last season. an UDFA made the pro bowl for the AFC as a return guy. (From Freso State, no less.)

          Sometimes these big receivers get labeled as WR/TE tweeners and slip through. That's how Shannon Sharpe and Marques Colston ended up being late round draft picks despite high production in college. This guy could have a shot.

            He's intriguing enough. If I'm not mistaken he was converted from RB to WR. He put up a pretty solid time (4.5) and looks to be a pretty good athlete. I don't think the physical part of his game is an issue. I believe it's more of a character concern. I think he was kicked out of a nationally televised game this year for arguing with a ref, he then refused to leave the field and postponed the game for several minutes.

            All the physical tools are there, but he needs to work on the attitude.

              Recall Davonne Bess, Hawaii was undrafted. Signed with Dolphins and had the most catches of a free agent since Wayne Chrebet.

                that was a big wow factor... I couldn't believe the stats he had against him... Even though Stats for one game doesn't tell the whole truth, but the season he had last year was pretty damn good...

                  Oh, so he punched a coach?










                  Seriously, though... Ive never seen anyone refuse to leave the field after getting kicked out. What a stupid fuck.

                  Hope Greg can straighten him up. This probably his last/only chance.

                    He's just fine. He will be a player.

                        Anyone else notice that under the first video of this guy someone named TONY MISSION posted (Sleeper pick for the packers, or did i just ruin that)...it HAD to be our sweet Mr. Mission

                        Good call mission says that you posted that Three weeks before.....he wasn't picked till after the draft...but i guess you know your stuff.

                          Haha, I completely forgot about that. Waldo brought him to my attention and I did my research from there... decided we had to have him! Plus, the whole Greg Jennings connection and how GJ was at the W.Mich pro day this year just seemed too good of a fit.

                          I was a little ornery when I woke up this morning (afternoon) and tough on the kid, but I'm still excited about the pick up. He could make the squad... more upside than Martin IMO.

                            DEFF more upside than Ruvell, although you HAVE to love Ruvells height at 6'4.

                            Mission I live in Savannah if I come up you going to take me to a bad ass poker game?

                              Absolutely. Bring your big stack, let's do it.

                              I've actually been in Savannah a lot lately ... one of my old clients from the A moved down there and I've used it as an excuse to get away. Beautiful city, little too "old money" for me, though ...
