    Man, I seriously hope this guy can progress into a serious play maker. I know its hard to bet on such a late rounder, but it can happen. He was formally a WR. That is great considering he must have good hands and ball skills, etc. It would greatly help the team's situation, considering all the needs the team has. He seems like a good guy. Who knows? :up:

    In the video, that pass from Tanne to Parker in the end zone was sick! Hope to see some more of that stuff. We do have some talented players. They just need to fill some spots and we could be a very good team.

    I've wondered why more WR's are not converted to DB's

    It's not that unusual. Did you notice that our practice squad WR from last year, Damarr Aultman, is now listed as a DB?

    I like it. The kid is an elite athlete and quick as lightening. I would like them to give him a legitimate shot at punt returns if he ever makes the 53.

    With a year on the PS as a DB I think he just might be able to make the roster as a DB/ST's guy. This kid was a scholar athlete, he has the smarts to learn new tricks.

    I think any WR that didn't make it as a WR I would try at DB for a bit.

    Well, you know what most DBs will say when they drop an INT, "if I could catch, I'd be a WR", lol, but speed and quickness is a much bigger need at DB, so WRs that don't possess those qualities wouldn't be making that change.

    It happens a lot more at the college level, when they are finding out that a guy isn't a good WR, but at the pro level no player wants to make that change just based on money, WRs make more than DBs.

    This team has had some nice finds in the 5th or later for DB's in the post Shula era although not many have been drafted. It's the conversions we really don't see done well much. Reshad (5th rounder), Yeremiah Bell (6th rounder) were the 2 that stand out but we also had players who managed to stick around on NFL rosters for 6-7-8 years in those late rounds like Shawn Wooden, Nolan Carroll, Chris Clemons (still surprisingly hanging around...but probably done after this year..30..injury settlement).

    Still hoping for Lippett to get to the next level if he can it would be huge. Another camp under his belt maybe he can help out our porous db rotation.

    He's a valuable commodity at 6'2" and being a gifted receiver. He has more of a chance at truly being able to cover the taller receivers that we're seeing trending in the NFL right now.
