I remembered he was a grad transfer from Ga Tech at linebacker, but we never played him on defense when we sorely lacked linebackers. He had the size (6'3, 220plus), and he played well in the senior bowl. I'm just curious why we didn't give him a shot. I mean if you're going to get a guy at least give him a shot right?

I asked the same question during the year and the answer was that he wasn't good enough to see the field.

He didn't play in the Senior Bowl, wasn't a high enough prospect. He had stats in three games ECU, Missouri, and FSU.

He wasn't eligible to play in the Bowl game due to grades. And had a strong showing in the East West Shrine game, which means he wasn't good enough not to show up at any of the "all-star" games, but not good enough for the Senior Bowl.

I can't see anyone drafted him... was he even drafted or picked up as a UDFA?

He simply wasn't better than the guys ahead of him. Nothing more, nothing less.

you're right. I thought it was one of those two games.

I thought he got playing time in ST. Kickoff coverage maybe?
