I have a feeling that this signing will pay big dividends in time. He might even surprise us. He might be used primarily as a rotation guy to start but as he gains experience he will probably get more playing time.

I agree. I think this guy is an under the radar player. I’ve watched his tape and read quite a bit about him. He looks like a guy who will make it in the NFL.

And I love his story. What an amazing journey to get to this point.

Yeah, he has quite the story for sure. He even worked as a body guard for Nate Burleson of Good Morning Football for a time. He's a big guy with lots of gumption and determination.

The kids a big bear, a speedy bear, but a bear. I can't wait to see him in game play.

This guy is 6’ 4” 310 lbs of solid muscle. His weight is evenly distributed throughout his body, with the broad shoulders, big arms, legs and practically no gut. Unlike past DE Mo Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson.
Lets hope this kid is the real deal, because two athletic freaks in him and big cat will do a lot of damage

Yup, and his muscle to body fat ratio would indicate he's more apt not to wear down late in a game , unlike the out of shape ' Big Mo '.

Mo got his money, and then shifted down to half-assing it mode.

Nate worked hard to get here, despite the odds, and will probably bust his rear end to earn a job.

I know who I’d rather have.

I'm putting my trust in his work ethic and his skill set. I'm really happy that they signed him.
