  • 2013 UDFA's

    You can bet on one or two of these cracking the 53 man roster.

    Lane Taylor, offensive line, Oklahoma St.
    Taylor is 6-3, 324 with shorter arms and giant hands. He didn't allow a single sack in 2012 in over 850 snaps of action at right guard. He appears to be very limited as an athlete. Some have projected him to center.


    Ben Ericksen, safety, Illinois St.
    Ericksen is 6-1, 195 with nice athleticism. He ran a 4.42 at his pro-day with solid numbers all around. He was pretty productive too with 7 ints last year. He's also a Greenville, WI native.


    Matt Brown, quarterback, Illinois St.
    Brown is 6-3, 229 and was a four-year starter. He threw for 3,370 and 27 touchdowns which was good enough for offensive player of the year for whatever conference Illinois State plays in. He also rush for seven TDs . His career numbers include 10,591 yards and 87 TDs. Pretty athletic.


    Gilbert Pena, defensive tackle, Ole Miss
    Pena is 6-3, 330. He's 26 years old already because he took time off of football to take care of his mom with cancer.


    Jake Stoneburner, tight end, Ohio State
    Stoneburner is 6-4, 252 and ran a 4.53. Most people thought that would be enough to get drafted. He's got good hands and is versatile enough to do all the things TE's do in the NFL. 11 TD's over the last two seasons.


    Jeremy Vujnovich, tackle, Louisiana College
    Vujnovich is 6-5, 290 and ran a 4.87 and had 35 reps of 225. Probably a guy you want to stash on your practice squad and get him bulked up and ready for the NFL.


    Patrick Lewis, center, Texas A&M
    Lewis is 6-1, 311 and versatile. He was a 4 year starter at guard and a center. The Packers had him in for a predraft visit.


    Andy Mulumba, outside linebacker, Eastern Michigan
    Mulumba is 6-3, 260. He’s played both as a down lineman and standing up. He's Canadian but doesn't seem crazy. He's expected to be taken in the CFL draft. His workout numbers are good enough to succeed but I can't find proof that he ever got a sack in college so he's probably awful.


    Myles White, wide receiver, Louisiana Tech
    White is 6-1, 185. Very similar to our 7th round pick Charles Johnson in that he's bounced around to 3 different schools and ran a 4.42 and all this other workout numbers were just as good. Also got arrested for public urination and possession.


    Angelo Pease, running back, Kansas State
    Pease is 5-10, 211 and ran a 4.5. He wasn't particularly productive at Kansas State but did all kinds of shit at the Juco level before that. He was a runner, passer, returner, and safety.


    James Winchester, long snapper, Oklahoma
    He has an awesome name and snaps the ball.


    Devin Willis, cornerback, Northern Arizona
    Willis is 6-0, 178. He's from Miami, had 41 tackles and an interception last year. I just googled for like 10 minutes to find any hint as to why someone would want this guy on their NFL roster and then I found a youtube video of him doing the 3-cone drill at a northern arizona pro day in front of like 10 people. His time was 6.32 which is the fastest I've ever heard of.

    Haha, we need an edit for the title. That's supposed to say 2013 UDFA's. We didn't actually sign 201 of them.

      Ted does like having a lot of competition in training camp.

          Just based on roster numbers, you would think he might has a shot. He does at lest have a highlight film.

            Wow that guy was an animal in that shithole conference. Rag dolling twerpy lineman is one thing but chasing down guys from behind on the other side of the field? The refs should have just stopped the game after that happened.

                Kind of a Dezman Moses type dude.

                College lineman who should have been a backer all along.

                Keep the thread title, should draw interest.

                  I came in to write that Andy Mulumba was my guy and will surprise some people, but you guys already are and I'd look like a douchebag so I won't...........

                    3irty, hit Edit This Post and then Go Advanced. You can change the thread titles if you can still edit the post.
                    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                      The conference he played in is the Missouri Valley Football Conference, and it's the best conference in FCS. Two-time FCS champion, North Dakota State, plays in the conference. Plenty of NFL players come from the conference. (CB Marcus Williams of NDSU is projected to go in round 2 or 3 next year.) I was going to say he didn't have a lot of luck against NDSU, but then realized that the 20 points Illinois State scored were the second most NDSU gave up last year (Northern Iowa scored 21)--as NDSU had the best defense in FCS last year by far.

                        A few of these guys sound intriguing. Probably the Illinois State kids the most--especially the safety from Wisconsin. I know NDSU kids are overlooked, but there are several playing in the NFL, so it wouldn't be surprising if one of the Illinois State kids made it. Pretty good praise from the scouts regarding those two and OC Patrick Lewis. (It's hard to get excited about 6'1" OC though.) Ericksen was overlooked by Wisconsin, played receiver for twos years, struggled during his first year at safety, but really came on as a senior with 7 interceptions. He has good size at 6'1" 197, and his measurables rank with the best safeties in the draft (4.44 in the 40 with 36 1/2" vertical). Could be a late bloomer and a surprise in camp.

                          History tells us that 1 or 2 of these guys are likely to be on the 53 man roster when the season rolls around, and a few more on the practice squad.

                          Nice to learn a little about them.

                            My money is on Stoneburner and Erickson.

                            Stoneburner has a cool name, and he was moved last season from te to WR. Tells me that the coaches thought his receiving skills must be pretty good. His production dropped significantly. He had been considered a pretty good TE prospect prior to that. Playing specifically at WR may help him when we move him back to TE.

                            Erickson - Packers used to pick up a local kid every year as a gesture to the community. I don't think they do that anymore - and Erickson has some very interesting measurables as well as good production.

                              Great write-up.

                              Mulumba is explosive and has a chance. More physical than Moses.

                              Pena and Lewis may also have chances at roster spots. Hopefully the white boy safety is another John Lynch.
