Dude... I weighed 160 as a junior in high school and I'm around 210 now. That's no stretch at all. Sounds normal, actually.

I did a google search for Jamon Meredith and "character" and found this write-up from a South Carolina football fan:

http://phinaddict.blogspot.com/2009/04/assessing-possibilities-jamon-meredith.html 

If you don't want to read the whole thing, here's what he says regarding character.

On the plus side:

Jamon was pretty clean in college. He's also been successful academically. With a 3.7 GPA, my guess is that he didn't spend too much time hanging with some of the worse elements in our program.

And on the minus side:

My main complaint about Meredith would be that he generally hasn't shown the kind of urgency and drive you like to see out of a lineman. He doesn't always finish a play, doesn't always seem to have that desire to pound an end into the ground. I just never felt he lived up to his huge potential.


And here's another site that has some info:

http://www.stampedeblue.com/2009/4/19/844445/jamon-meredith-v-duke-robinson-you 

Again, if you don't want to read the whole thing, here's what they wrote about character, competitiveness, and work habits:

Character: Very quiet sort with no off-field issues. Gets along well with teammates and staff, but is not considered a leader. Shies away from the spotlight, and would not communicate with the media as a senior. Mature and his academic success shows he has good maturity.

Competitiveness: A quiet sort, making it hard to gauge his aggressiveness, as he doesn't show great urgency in his play. Doesn't always work to finish and must play with more emotion and develop nastiness to play at the next level. Does show good effort, but you would just want a player with his athletic ability to show more emotion.

Work Habits: A self-starter who does not need to be monitored, but he needs to dedicate more hours to the training room. Lacks great strength and also needs to add bulk. Frame looks more like a power forward for the basketball team than that of a football down lineman.

He's going to be surrounded by football in Green Bay. Hopefully that pushes his drive up near 100%.

I watched his locker room interview on the GBP website. Amongst the softball questions thrown his way, there were a couple of well-phrased attempts to see what kind of character this kid has.

One reporter tried to see if he could extricate some resentment from him for not being picked earlier. Meredith hit a home run on that one.

I was a Duke Robinson guy this whole off-season. (409th reference, officially retiring all allusions, yes, you are welcome :icon_smile: ) Wish we would have got both of them, we could have, you know. (I want a waiver on that one, lol)

ANYWAY, there is an update on him at JSOnline, thought I'd put a link here:

" Meredith poised to prove scouts wrong"

http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20090509/PKR07/90509044/1058/PKR01 

"Thats not true. I love football. Football is a big part of my life and I love it. I thank God every day for having the opportunity to play this game. So whoever said that, thats not true.

Just being a Green Bay Packer, having the chance to be a Green Bay Packer, thats enough motivation for me, he said."

All Meredith wants is one thing.

Just give me a chance, he said.

The Packers will give him every opportunity to prove his doubters wrong.



I wish this guy good luck with his career as a packer.

Got a new avatar with him on it; I figure any guy that we get in the 5th round that should of been taken in the second or early 3rd is a big Plus.
And to top that off ... he's got the numbers 69 on his jersey ... what more could a guy want.

(btw I cant figure out how to add a picture to my signature anyone offer some help in that department)

You add a picture to your signature the same way you add a picture to a post: Find the direct URL to the picture (it will end in .jpg, .gif, or .png), and where you want the picture, insert the URL between [img] tags:

I don't think this was posted yet. But i could be wrong.


The Green Bay Packers have signed tackle Jamon Meredith. The signing was announced Thursday by Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson.

Meredith, the second of the Packers' two fifth-round picks, was a three-year starter at both tackle and guard at South Carolina. He appeared in 49 career games, including 38 starts, for the Gamecocks.

Meredith is the fourth of the Packers' eight draft picks to sign with the team.

I'm not worried about his aggression levels. OTs don't all need to be nasty hot heads. I don't get the impression Tauscher (or Clifton) have that mentality (although I could be wrong).
