He was the first pick in the 2nd round in 2008. How cool would it be if he could find his groove here in Green Bay?

Former second round pick of the Dolphins in 2008. Was released by the team after never really establishing himself.

Probably just a camp body, but considering how poor our defensive line played last season, taking a flyer on a guy like this seems worth it just to see what sticks.

Yeah, the last two years, he started 2 games and got 6 tackles. Doubt he'll even make the team, even with our pathetic DL.

Lets be honest here about this cat...

Torn Achilles in 2010..

Last year recorded 4 tackles.. and while appearing in 10 games.

Arrested in Florida in 2010 and charged with aggravated battery on a female, a pregnant female. Charges were dropped due to failure to appear by the victim.

Summarizing..

Kid is probably down to his last shot in the show.. he has all the motivation to go balls out. We shall see if he can bring it.

Was Miami using him on the d-line? He seems a little small to play DE in a 3-4... maybe we'll try him at OLB(?)

Depending where you look they have his weight anywhere from 270 to 295.. so without seeing him today.. it is just a guess of where they will try to plug him into.

Gaines was the better of the two from Clemson.

I like these low risk, potentially high reward signings. More Bodies in camp and more guys getting pushed.

Agreed.

Not trying to be a jerk though, but the other 31 teams are doing the same thing. I'm just not too excited about this guy. Would LOVE to be proven wrong though.
