But can Gurley and Borel go BACK on the PS this season?

Yes, but I doubt we will be able to keep either of them there all season. Both Gurley and Borel were offered roster spots by other teams last year, and stayed in Green Bay for a raise and (presumably) a promise at an honest chance at winning a roster spot next year. If they get waived at the end of camp this year, they will probably end up playing elsewhere. If both are waived, at least one will.

Dark horse in this race: Dale Moss. His reported numbers are 6'3" 213lbs, 4.45sec 40, 10'10" broad jump and a 41" (!!) vertical. He also had the best 3 cone time. All of these numbers are from the South Dakota pro day, of course. He was not at the combine.

Converted basketball player, so should have good hands. Only played one year of college football, played basketball for 4 years prior to that.

If a receiver is that physically gifted, athletic, and has proven himself to be skilled at another sport, how much of an impediment is the lack of experience with route running and creating separation while staying within the timing of the pattern? I imagine it is actually a huge impediment, maybe even Lou Holtz big, and I guess we can hope that the kid hasn't learned any bad habits, anyway.

You'd love to the kid to light it up and make the team. Because if the football talent matches the physical talent--watch out!

To me he is like a lottery ticket with all your favorite numbers: I know it isn't going to happen but I like to think about it.

Dale Moss overcomes the odds, makes the team, wins the game, thanks fans for their support.

He'd probably make the 2001 squad. For sure he would at least beat out Ruvell Martin in a straight up competition. His biggest obstacle may be just a natural feel for the game. But at least he promises to be fun to follow in the first week of camp.

That's it you wet blankets, I'm starting the fan club now!

Agreed. The only question is whether he's more talented than Gurley. If it's close, he's likely gone. That's why I say a lot of this depends on Gurley. Or perhaps Borel.

A lot of folks are eager to see Gurley play this summer but from what I'm reading Borel might be the more intriguing prospect.
