Why do you sign someone

This late in the season? It’s not like he will play this week. I don’t believe PS players are retained unless you sign them, right?
Big, muscled-up kid.

Caught and did some short yardage work in school along with blocking. 14 TD's.

As soon as the regular-season is over, they are not under contract. They can be signed to future contracts in January.

The only reasons are (1) bodies to practice against this week, and (2) get a closer up look at someone you might want to sign in January.
I assume someone at Jints Central saw and heeded one of my

posts about how this team needs a classic blocking fullback a la Maurice Carthon and Madison Hedgecock more than a swiss army knife converted RB like Penny.

Boom chaka laka.
I wonder

if he asked Santa for a neck this Christmas.
I already like this kid..  
blueblood : 12/24/2019 1:01 pm : link
saw a short video and his first words...

" Looks like a good day to hit someone in the mouth.. "

His second words

" id rather knock a guy out with a crazy block than score a touchdown"

I'm ALL IN !!!!!!

sounds like a Merchant Ivory film adapted from Jane Austen or EM Forster.
jeez - he makes Walt 'No-Neck' Williams look like a f*ing swan

Thanks Eric and Anakim
I already love this kid

Please sign him to some futures contract....he loves to hit people. 6 feet, 240....let him hit so outside linebacker to free up Saquon. Or let him stay in and block some blitzing safety trying to get at Daniel.
hope they got a discount

this kid came without a neck
George Aston

can hit you so hard he can actually alter your DNA.
just rewatched the 11' Superbowl

watching Hynoski leading the 3 headed monster.
Made me wish they would run that offense with Barkley.

The Polish Plow was a great FB

This kid sounds interesting. Old school Hammer of a Fullback.

We need more pure blockers on this team. Kaden Smith is promising. Bring in some more blocking TE's too.

Give me TE's and FB's who knock the piss out of people & catch a pass when they're wide open. Don't need glitter.
I guess they want a close up look at this kid for the future

SteelGiant : 12/24/2019 7:56 pm : link
I wanted to draft him with our 7th!!! He was awesome at pick and we be perfect for Danny and Barkley
I posted about him for the draft.  
SteelGiant : 12/24/2019 8:11 pm : link
He was just has good as hynoski of not better. He blocked for Connor and last year he blocked for 2 running backs who were both 1000 yard rushers. PITT did not even have that good of line. The reason why the running game was so good was because this kid blocked so well. He has an endless motor and will play specials.
Plug him in
