I didnt see much of anything as far as route-running goes though. He's gonna have a hard time getting separation in the NFL...it will be good to see what he can do in the preseason.

Good point about getting separation but a mobile QB might help him with that cuz dudes gotta keep an eye on Kap over the middle of the field

Dude from round here by me. Frisco TX that's my city and same high school my kids zoned to. I'm about to ask around a bit about dude but he looks like he can contribute if given opportunity. Might have been slept on after all. He chopping blades once he gets the rock in his hands. At 1:44 you ain't supposed to catch that pass and cut up turf that swiftly from your 42 to the house like that no matter what division of college ball you play in
yeah kid has some talent,all he needs is a chance with the Good WR coach we have He can be something special

bye. Was cut today. Couldn't even make it to training camp. And some of you were making him out to be the steal of the draft.

Anyone know why he didn't participate in mini camp?

either he has the worse work ethic ever....or just not getting the opportunities, because whatever.

All I know is he looks fast on the field...has a 2nd gear, that you don't see much from NFL receivers. Lower division league or not.

I hope Trent knows what he is doing, but I don't trust him with WR decisions..

It's like he loves these regular WRs who look good in practice, but will fail to get separation on the field against good defenses.

He played in a lower division for a reason...looking at his highlights all his plays were slants. I didn't see any good route-running just a bunch of missed tackles. This is the NFL and those slants will get sniffed out and you better believe they actually know how to tackle.

he doesn't look faster than Smith,Anderson,White,V Davis, Simpson and didn't bring much in route-running...best of luck to him though

Usually the cuts come down primarily to the coaches, the GM brings them in, the coaches decide what to do with them.


I never got the Davis hype, average WR with average speed that looked good vs subpar competition. I am surprised that he didnt even make it to training camp but I guess they figured his odds of making the roster were non-existent, so why bother.

No evidence of that, he could be like Rumph from Kentucky who camped out at the Falcons facility after he was cut.

I just think its a matter of bodies at the position. They liked how Simpson has been practicing and Torrey and Q are gonna be starters plus we have Ellington and Patton still. Thats 5 already with everyone else fighting for one roster spot. I think we keep no more than 6 WR.

If it's a numbers game, than why cut him and bring in another WR (Mario Hull)? It's cause he showed us nothing, why keep dead weight.

I don't expect Hull to last very long either but maybe he can keep Vance company for a little while.
