DAVE TE-The German Kid-Moritz Boehringer

nflscouting : 5/2/2016 3:47 pm
No, not a Big Blue guy, but if you knew what happened during his workout in Florida, the Giants were going to offer him a contract on the spot. He's the first European drafted, but one did play here in the past, two other Europeans are on practice squads & Big Blue has their own French receiver to deal with

MORITZ BOEHRINGER-Schwabisch Hall Unicorns
The German receiver who found the game of football after watching a u-tube of Adrian Peterson, now joins the ball carrier as a teammate. Thanks to a little “nudge” from the NFL Network’s Mike Mayock in the sixth round, the Vikings not only accepted a call from the announcer pleading for them to take the pass catcher, minutes later, they heeded his advice. Here is the link to the German receiver’s article;

Was almost a Giant though, buddy. They wanted to sign him after the workout by league HQ ruled he had to go through the draft process
Wait till he gets hit ....

He was watching highlight films of AP who runs and cuts so fast he probably was barely touched in those clips.

1. Then how did we sign Dable?
2. Why would the league interfere and nullify our great scouting?

that the commissioner is as corrupt as they come and he gift wrapped LSU G/T-La'el Collins for Jerry Jones just because the kid said he is a Cowboys fan. Unreal that Collins would be allowed to choose his team. Complete horse shit. Now this crap? Boehringer is allowed to choose his favorite team just by stating it and the Vikings turn around and draft him? They screwed the Giants out of inking this kid and someone should have to be held accountable. I am tired of Goodell's bullshit. Everyone hates him except for Jerry Jones.
I think the NFL

I hate Goodell more than the next guy, but...

The league screwed the Giants by allowing the kid to choose his favorite team by forcing the kid to go through the draft process where he is forced to play for whatever team picks him instead of letting him sign a free agent deal with whoever he wants?

I guess this could be a joke going over my head, but somehow I doubt it.
You guys are gullible

You really don't see how La'el Collins and Moritz Boehringer made it to their favorite teams? Two years in a row the commissioner tells 31 other teams not to draft a particular player and you jackasses think it was just fate. Wow.
