Slight bump...http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...r-on-nfl-radar This guy was under the radar for sure, unless your satellite feed carries German football games. Can you imagine TT using a comp. pick in the 4th round on this guy? The article says a scout from Packer was at Florida Atlantic's pro day. Hey, I bet he'd feel right at home in Wisconsin! Beer, cheese, brats, what more do you need?

This kid is certainly not under the radar, but because of the offense his team ran, he doesn't project at the same position on the next level. Kenan Reynolds, QB from Navy is a special talent. He made Navy football fun to watch. He just has an it factor, like Russell Wilson did coming out of college. Now, who knows what will happen with this kid at the NFL level? Will he be a RB? Will be be a WR? He likely won't be a QB. What is under the radar, or the unknown, is what will happen with this kid. I'm not sure if he has the same 2 year commitment that Ensign Bob Kuberski had when the Packers drafted him in 1993, but I would imagine there is now going to be some kind of service commitment he must fulfill. Would you give this kid a shot knowing that you might not get to develop him much for a couple of years? Depending on what Reynolds wants for an NFL career, he could end up being a Julian Edelman type, who was a QB at Kent State. He could be another Randall Cobb, used a lot of different ways, but of course, would have to be developed as such. Are you willing to take a 7th round flyer? I think someone might draft him.

Looks like Riley Cooper, but slated to be undrafted. Could be a nice pickup? Maybe?

4th round would be too high for this guy. Athletically, he is similar to Janis. The guys is a bit taller, but Janis tested equally as well, and his measurabled are more trustworthy--since he tested at the combine. Also, Janis had more experience. The highlights on him are worthless--since he's going against high school caliber talent.Originally posted by Carolina_Packer View PostSlight bump...http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...r-on-nfl-radar This guy was under the radar for sure, unless your satellite feed carries German football games.

If you were TT, would you sign him as a priority free agent? Not sure if he can start his NFL career right away because of his military commitment, so if the Packers were patient with him (and they wouldn't really need him immediately anyway), they could try and develop the talents that he has into a role, whether RB or WR. This guy is very shifty, and fast enough at 4.57 in the 40. Again, he might wash out, but his intangibles and his athleticism make him compelling enough for me to try and develop him at the pro level, and whatever happens, happens.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers View PostI don't think he'll get drafted."Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." -Daniel Patrick Moynihan

This guy is destined to be a Packer:
Southern Nazarene University linebacker Larry Butler III is making a strong bid for a spot in the NFL.
The Cleveland Browns and Green Bay Packers are among the NFL teams that are interested in Butler. He’s expected to attend the New Orleans Saints’ local prospect day.
The 6-0, 236-pounder ran the 40-yard dash in 4.7 seconds, but pulled his hamstring. He had hoped for a 4.5 time.

Can you imagine? If he signs with the Browns he might as well figure on a failed career. Signs with Green Bay he has a shot to be a backup in the NFL.Originally posted by Patler View PostThis guy is destined to be a Packer:"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Here are a couple of sites with some definite sleeper prospects, and even schools I never knew existed. Oklahoma Panhandle State University, anyone?
NFL Draft Diamonds and our staff have been bringing our readers Prospect Interviews over the past 2 years and this year we mixed up the questions and added some fun questions for our readers. …
There are some well-known names on both lists, such as Carson Wentz and Noah Spence. There are also a lot of names that would only be well-known to the most ardent draftnik, and some maybe not even then. Are there any players on the lists from schools near where you live, or players that you have started to take a look at?
The Packers will likely be on the lookout for an OLB, maybe two. Here are three similar players who played college DE, but most certainly would project to 3-4 OLB because of speed and athleticism.
Trevor Bates, DE/OLB, Maine...he has some athleticism and ball skills. I bet he gave some OT's fits.
Kwame Bell, DE/OLB, Clarion, a D2 program.
Wist already mentioned Matt Judon, DE/OLB from Grand Valley State, who is another D2 phenom, who actually attended the combine, so he's more well known than the two players listed above. How would you compare all three as prospects?

You don't know Oklahoma Panhandle State?
Where do you think homeless people get their mad skills?
They offer classes in how to best word your cardboard sign. How to project your voice.
It began in 1930 as Oklahoma Hobo State U, but the word "hobo" became obsolete, so it was changed in 1975."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
