Ill be pissed if Vann doesn't make the team after seeing what happened when we cut Rossum.
He was never heard from again and still hasn't been able to find a team willing to sign him?

f**k yeah... this guy should be our main PR/KR and have Ginn and Kyle Williams focus on being WR's
Crabtree
Morgan
Ginn
Hill
Williams
I say zeigler and jones get cut or williams goes to PS and Zeigler hangs on the team.

Your right it's much more exciting when you don't know if the punt will be caught or not
My point was that KR/PR is just as important as long snapper and deserves it's own roster spot. Rossum and Spurlock were cut because they couldn't contribute elsewhere. Keeping a 5th or 6th WR or CB over Vann is a terrible idea unless they can do what Vann Potentially can do.

Kyle williams while having a good chance to make the team, better try and make it as a receiver.
Vann set the NCAA record with 11 combined TD returns. He had 58 career punt returns for 1,033 yards and 8 TDs and 81 kickoff returns for 1,973 yard and 3 TDs. Vann owns 5 NCAA return records, while tying another, and holds 9 school and conference return records. Oh, and he also plays cornerback. He has 107 tackles, 13.5 TFLs, 3 sacks and 2 INTs in his career as a defensive back. (Listen to what Vann has to say at the 2-min mark of the video below)
IMO this was the biggest steal in the draft getting the title holder for returns to the house.... undrafted
While I think, Ginn will return kicks, Vann I think has him beat for pr.
And as far as blount goes, did he really even have a shot here. I think mrob is fightin teeth and nails just for a st spot.

He does look like a steal, but...
The videos I seen look like pop warner teams that he's playing against.

I'll believe it when Vann returns punts against big boys. Personally I'm not surprised he went undrafted. He stands no chance at contributing as an NFL corner and he's too slow to be considered an elite return specialist. Hope he proves me wrong, but none of his returns are particularly electric given the competition he faced.

I am glad we picked him up to give him a shot, will be interesting to see how he pans out during the pre-season.
I agree that I hope he does work out, just he does not have as much outside of returns going for him (something Williams does), so he is going to have to be a very good PR/KR
