from Penn State I think, whose mother had some kind of disease (liver or kidney disease).

Great story during camp, if this is the same guy, and hope he sticks.
This dude looked lost out there in preseason...

To swap deayon for him seems..... Odd.
Haley  
Jim Bur(n)t : 10/16/2018 10:06 am : link
Saw him as a solid developmental guy with good potential... Trial by fire for him I guess. Let's see what the kid can do!
Good for him

I'm close with someone who is acquainted with him, says he's a great guy.

And I believe Georgia/Atlanta is his "home". Exciting for him that he gets to play next Monday and the Benz here in Atlanta.

I feel bad for Deayon, but he's just too damn small.
I hope he has improved

He was terrible in the preseason, absolutely terrible.
Coming out  
Phil in LA : 10/16/2018 1:26 pm : link
I thought he was better than Deayon.
He's got tremendous measurables

Now, if he could learn to play CB we'd really have something.

4.44 40, 34" vert, 15 reps, 3.94 20 yd, 6.51 3 cone.

That's better than Minkah Fitzpatrick in every category (ok he's short, too). Not saying it matters but it's certainly good measurables.

I thought he had a good preseason and it was a bit of a surprise he was waived.
This guy was a fan

Yeah, but I don't get the "if only he could play CB" comment. He played four years for Penn State and if memory serves, he started for three years. The kid can play. It actually might be the measurables (like his size) that limits his potential.

really lied Haley thought it was a great pickup.
If memory serves me  
RiffRaff : 10/17/2018 9:45 am : link
he's also best friends with Saquon Barkley. They roomed together at Penn State.

The way this season is going, I don't think promoting him to the 53 man roster will really change anything, but it will help with his development. Maybe we get lucky.
