There are few guaranteed spots at any position. Being 3rd on the depth chart doesn't mean you are "safe". Good thing Washington is versatile and is a special teams demon. Good players get cut weekly at this level.

Zenner was such a gamer back in his college days (I know from living in South Dakota). I'm not sure if the Lions ever used him right, so there is some upside. Nice pickup.

Chris, I would love that too. But he really needs a good year-plus to get some tree trunks on him...

He was so underweight at the position; but I guarantee you this young man has the moxie not only to get where he needs to be, but be damn good...

When he came out of college, he said there was always one place he wanted to play and one quarterback he wanted to catch...

Let them develop him right, he'll make us proud...

The Saints would do this hilarious thing, where they'd be in the huddle, and Drew would give the offense the play. And then they'd clap hands and break the huddle; then Drew would cup his hand to Julius's helmet earhole, and tell him a second time in plain English what the play was, he'd point on the field to where Julius was supposed to line up, show him where to get into his stance, etc. I wonder if Teddy can handle that same responsibility, if Zach needs any playing time, LOL. It was transparently obvious what Drew was doing, so funny to watch. But not fun, when we got into the playoffs and didn't have any running backs, if you know what I mean.

In the playoff where he had 2 scores and we couldn't stop the one-legged 40 year old QB? And they were 7-9 and still hosted? Bad memories

Good depth is key.

Good maybe it will light a fire under his ass.
