Rhema McKnight signs with the Saints ?
Four other former Irish players, tight end Marcus Freeman (Baltimore Ravens), defensive end Chris Frome (Chicago Bears), wide receiver and running back Darius Walker (Chicago Bears) all signed free agent deals with separate NFL teams.
http://und.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/...otbl-body.html That is a nice addition. http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/2007/mcknight_rhema 19. Rhema McKnight - 6012, 211 4.54, Notre Dame One of the most prolific receivers in Fightin' Irish history. Naturally athletic that has good size and a solid frame. Good body control and ball skills. Has strong and reliable hands. Good route runner that is tough and works across the middle. Great blocker who gives an excellent effort. More quick than fast. Smart and a hard worker with top intangibles. Concentration will lapse at times. Timed speed is adequate but certainly not special. Could improve his conditioning and strength. Needs to keep his weight in check. Does not offer any value as a return man. Has some health and durability concerns Benefited from never really being the focal point of defenses attention. Missed most of the 2005 season and redshirted after tearing his right ACL. The type who does everything well but nothing great. Projects as a nice #2 or #3 target at the next level and a solid contributor. |

I don't see anybody as out right now, but at training camp, some better have their best foot forward or they'll be scratching their unemployed asses at home.

This is a good signing. This will push the vets at training camp for sure. He wants to make sure the best 5 WRs make the roster.
I'd say Meachem and Colston are locks to make the team. Other than that it's wide open. |
