Dolphin make roster move today 5-16-13

Is making the transition from right tackle to fullback, down to 244 lbs, and has some fluidity..

I like projects like this..you know he has the technique and demeanor for the position considering he played on the line, if the body projected well at a lighter weight, kudus to him for making the change and getting a tryout.

 

article talks up these players quite a bit. if they really had several NFL-worthy prospects, how did they end up with such a bad record against mediocre opponents? I guess you can look at it they these could be some really good depth/bench players for some teams. maybe one of them breaks out like a TY Hilton did last season.

 

The fullback conversion is a bit interesting. The Packers have had a habit of using fullbacks in pass protection/in shotgun formations, I wonder if he isn't a prospect in that direction.

 

DT Chas Alecxih, he of Hard Knocks fame from the jet ski story, was also waived/injured along with Stockemer.

He's had some nice UDFA finds throughout his tenure here. Just from the 2012 UDFA haul, you could end up having Jonas Gray, Josh Samuda, and Derrick Shelby all on the roster again. I believe that'd be tied for the most since the 2010 group of Marlon Moore, Roberto Wallace, and Jonathon Amaya.

Not really sure who of the 2013 UDFA crop is roster-worthy, but there are some notable names with Cameron Marshall, Chad Bumphis, Jasper "Junior" Collins, Sam Brenner, A.J. Francis, and Keelan Johnson. I'd think at least 1 from that group would have a shot. My favorite would be Keelan Johnson.

 

He sure doesn't look all that big for a RT in this picture:



According to NFL Draft Scout, he was down to 6'1" and 248lbs on his pro day on March 7th. Interesting they listed him as a G. http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=90373&draftyear=2013&genpos=OG
