Mostly forgotten but not lost!!

While we're focusing on free-agency and the draft, there's some players who are already on the team who might make significant contributions?!

WR Devery Henderson
LT Stinchcomb, Jon
WR Gardner, Talman
DT Leisle, Rodney
SLB Hodge, Sedrick
SS Mel Mitchell
MLB Cie Grant

Devery - Might take over for Pathon
Stinchcomb - Possibility at RT
Gardner - Proabably lost in the shuffle
Leslie - Interesting player who might push for playing time.
Hodge - He's got some skills. Has chance of playing.
Mel Mitchel - He'll be competing for a starting spot.

Last but not least:

Cie Grant:

Here's a little reminder on what Cie's background is:

Moves back to linebacker this year after a season as a starting cornerback ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â¦ has size and speed and is being counted on to help fill the void created by the departure of Joe Cooper and Courtland Bullard ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â¦ physical player who is much more at home at linebacker, but who offered to help out at corner in 2001 when the Buckeyes were looking for a starter ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â¦ A tremendous runner with sideline-to-sideline range. Hits hard for a man his size. Has the coverage skills to play safety but hits like a linebacker.

Great Blue North (GBNReport.com) reports, according to the The Columbus Dispatch, Ohio State OLB Cie Grant, ran in the 4.3's at pro day. (Gil Brandt of NFL.com had these numbers: Grant stood at 6-0ÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â½ and weighed 230 pounds. He ran 40 times of 4.52 and 4.49 seconds. He did 21 benches and did the rest of his workout at the Combine)

Grant is an undersized guy that plays with great intensity and understands his role. He has outstanding athletic ability. Has great speed and range and can get through traffic without much of a problem. He has outstanding coverage skills. Shows the ability to turn and run with backs out of the backfield and is very fluid with his hips.

Haslett loves this kid. I can understand why Haslett is being so patient with him.

Thoughts on ANY of these players?
