I know he only had one significant touch in the game but it was a sweet run after catch. I think he needs to be considered for the 3rd down back if he can block that is. That spin move was sweet.

Anyone else get a look at this guy? Comments, questions......?Chris: Dad, what's the blow-hole for?

I've seen him for one play. He had a sweet spin move. That's all I know about the guy. I did see a little Dorsey Levens in him, but it's a longshot that he ever becomes anything close to that. I also do see a little Sherling Sharpe in James Jones, but it's a real longshot that he ever becomes anything close to that."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

Grant has flashed speed, something BJ hasn't shown at all yet. With LT running for the chargers McCarty will need to do anything he can to keep the D fresh. I expect to see a lil change up at RB this Sunday. Hopefully that involves Grant.Comment

Ditto. MM should throw caution to the wind. Nobody but us is expecting the Packers to win, so why not let it all fly.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

I haven't seen all that much of him, but he looks like he has good hands and would make for a good pass catching RB.Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

i think jackson looked good in the passing/draw play selections he was given. he seems better suited to being the 3rd down back.Originally posted by MadtownPacker
grant's screen was awesome. kinda funny to watch: when grant spins to avoid the tackle he came so free that even scott wells, daryn colledge and chad clifton were all caught standing there dumbfounded rather than continuing downfield to block. friggin hilarious.
give m3 and brett some credit for the perfect call against a zone blitz: after grant caught the pass there was one zoning d-lineman left to defend against three blockers and grant.Always respect your opponent, even when you're kicking the crap outta him.Comment

So, what is the consensus here? Was he worth a 6th round pick in next year's draft? If so, why? If not, why not?"Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." -Daniel Patrick MoynihanComment

Well so far his pass catching average is good. But it's all based on one play. He didn't get the ball any other time right?Originally posted by Carolina_PackerComment

Well, it was a nice play, but I think maybe I need to see one or two more before I make a judgment...then again, with all the injured RB's we have hobbling around here he might be worth it just to have someone good to go."Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

COME ON!
The guy has NEVER dropped a pass and averages 21 yards/reception over his NFL career. How much more proof do you need????

There was sooner info than this; I want to find the thread where I praised TT for pulling the trigger with this guy after reading about him
TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

Please let Ryan be an answer for the Pack. We really need one. So far, so good. From everything that I've read about him, he's a quality guy, works hard, low-key personality, which may be one of the reasons why he flew under the radar coming out of ND. You gotta give it to scouts for knowing about guys like this, although in this case, the Giants scouts. Grant was a NJ kid who was a prep standout like Dorsey Levens who had a hard time distinguishing himself in college, due to competition, injuries, etc. Grant did rush for over 1000 yards with ND when he was the full-time starter, but due to injury and competition, had to split time with Julius Jones. His not being drafted might have been more the result of injuries, rather than talent level. He also played for Ty Willingham during his short, but turbulent tenure, so that probably wasn't always the greatest. While there, he was always known for being a team player. This might be one more feather in TT's cap if this kid continues to make it happen."Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." -Daniel Patrick MoynihanComment
