Jeron Hamn turning coaches heads at TE
 
Possible practice squad with a nice future.

Converted receiver Je'Ron Hamm is turning heads as a tight end with the New Orleans Saints | NOLA.com

I watched this kid at ULM. He caught everything near him.

We could have our very own Timmy Wright. You can never have enough toys.

Not a lot of experience at blocking. Former WR turned TE. ULM ran a wide open offense kinda like the Saints do. Nice TE speed at 4.61 in the 40. I imagine if he makes the practice squad( which I hope he does) his blocking will get much better.

Did you read the article?

"Once he learns all of the system - and he has done a good job learning, he's a smart young man-- ... But really the rubber is going to hit the road once we put the pads on," Malone said. "We will find out if the can hang in there and play his position and be a force where we need him."

Hamm believes he will be able to deal with the physicality that comes with the tight position. As a receiver he never had to deal with blocking a defensive end but that will at times be his reality as an NFL tight end.

"I look about Ben who is about 250 and I'm 240 so I try to do what he does, stay low, get hands inside and drive my feet," he said. "If the running back gets through fast enough, as long as I'm there to shield them off."

Wow, sorry guys and gals. I've been going to all these headlines and all I get is the headline. Other posts have just come up. Guess the computer is freaking out.

yes i did and no the quote did answer the question. I know Robert Mechuem can block better than Jimmy Graham and might be as good of a blocker as Watson. I do not expect him to be as good as the OL. but were is he? Graham level or better? lets face Graham suxs at blocking

We are going to have some serious talent on the practice squad. I wonder if other teams will be cherry picking developmental squad?
