Thoughts on our WR corp

jnormand · 07-06-2017, 11:01 AM

How many WRs did we keep on the 53 last year? Cooks, Snead, Thomas, Coleman...I thought Tommylee and Lampman were Lampman were there...that's six.

How many WRs does Sean keep on the 53 this year?

Opening day roster 2016 at WR:

Brandin Cooks, Willie Snead, Brandon Coleman, Michael Thomas, Tommylee Lewis

IIRC, Lampman was signed in late Sept from the practice squad.

Good question & don't forget the speedy/athletic kid from Ga Tech (name escapes me at the moment). I think he will challenge TommyLee for a roster spot.

Justin Thomas.

It's just unlikely that'll happen. To be clear, Thomas was the starting QB for Georgia Tech the last 3 years. He never caught a pass in a college game in his career.

Now dude certainly can run. But honestly he's a 5'10 guy that is going to have to be taught the receiver position in the NFL. And unless he can serve multiple roles on offense and special teams, he just doesn't have the capability at this time to man a roster spot on the 53.

That's him, thanks! I remember Underhill stating he was worked out as a DB prior to signing? Training camp awaits.

How about as an emergency QB #3? That way we won't have to carry more than 2 QB's on the final 53 roster

. Just kidding, just kidding.
