and he lit up vonte davis this year

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...

Here's general highlights from the game. Bunch of big plays by Jamarko:

That wows Snake too, as Snake really thinks the OSU corner is a bust, yet Vontae plays/looks the 2nd coming of Al Harris. Really liked that guy at Illinois. This Wideout may be the guy to bump off Arod's best bro off the 5th spot on the depth chart at WR. All the physical skills and stats...what's the story? Waldo?

JS wrote an article about him... Pretty good read...

He wants to play with Jennings... Do the Lambeau Leap... Be a cheesehead... I'm defiantly rooting for this guy in training camp...

Maybe adds weight and becomes a te. Lacks burst but once the ball is in his hands shows very good speed.

This dude has a chance.

I think he chose the wrong team. Several teams tried to sign him, and he chose the one with the most WR depth - the Packers.

He stated that he chose the Packers because of his relationship with Jennings. And he has a lot of respect for the Packers and our traditions. He went on to say that he always dreamed of catching a TD and doing a lambeau leap, with his family there wearing cheeseheads.

He not only became my favorite FA - but one of my favorite rookies. I am going to be really rooting for this kid.

Sounds like, with the help of Jennings father, this kid has really turned things around in his life and is really focused. With an important mentor in place on the team, I am hoping he really comes through. The physical skills seem to be there.

But he also signed with the team that has the HC that values unique useful traits and designs his offense around them.

His experience in the backfield, taking handoffs (and blocking) is a very useful trait for a WR. Can you say motion man. MM uses Jory in the backfield as a blocker on run plays.

Imagine.

5 WR shot gun set at huddle break. Dime defense on the field. Jordy and Jamarko motion into the backfield. Now we can run out of the set, run a bunch of crazy screens, or pass. And the defense has darn near the worst players on the field to defend it.

I can see MM falling in love with a guy with the skill set of Jamarko, much like he did with Humphrey.

That's exactly the roster spot I see him filling.

If he's a good blocker, that's something the Packers stress with their WR's. It's part of the reason Martin is still here. Also, I seem to remember Jennings saying that one reason he picked things up quickly as a rookie was that there were a lot of similarities between the Western Michigan offense and the Packer offense. This guy is not your typical undrafted free agent.
