Several media types I've talked with one-on-one still believe Carr is making this team though...

They are hiding Humphrey so he will stay on the practice squad.

LOL... he does catch the ball fairly incredibly but he only runs a 4.65 40. Still, he is a very interesting potential player down the road.

So Lil'Jordan Humphrey, at his size, is as fast as Jerry Rice was...

When looking at 40 times, you really have to skew size and other factors...

His seam routes will inevitably involve YAC, yards after contact, but at his size, not very corner, or even safety, is going to be effective in tackling him...

That’s a pretty good possibility. I like his long-term potential.
