Ryan Grant was also a 4th string nobody and he turned out ok for a season. Maybe this guy has something the rest of the world couldn't get out of him.

..Or he has suggestive pictures of Ted Thompson and is blackmailing him for a roster spot.

Ryan Grant, Sam Shields, James Starks, Frank Zombo, Dez Bishop. Uncle Ted as a pretty decent history of finding guys who can play.

As NSD pointed out, I'm a bit surprised there's nobody better stashed away on a practice squad somewhere. Unless this guy kept himself in playing shape the last 3 years, I'm a bit afraid a bullrush will blast this guy back about 10 feet.

It isn't like he has been sitting on the couch since 2009, he's been in training camps the last 2 seasons. Honestly though the odds of this guy seeing the field are not really all that great. My guess is as soon as Bulaga/Clifton get back into the mix this guy hits the road and a better player gets signed in his place. He's pretty much just the in case of emergency guy.
