Is he a KO guy? Nugent's KOs are still pretty bad so they may be bringing him in to push Nuge on getting better at them.
Damn Jai Lewis was snatched up by the Giants http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft06/news/story?id=2428659
Dontrell is one of my favorite college football players. I've seen him play several times in the past couple of years; he should have been drafted. His built and running style is very similar to Priest Holmes' but he is much more elusive. Also they both had knee injuries before their Sr seasons that ultimately caused them to o undrafted. This is an absolute great pick up. It can be argued that he is the best overall back on the current roster.
I've heard he's one hell of a rb from my firends back in NM. Only knock on him is being a Lobo. Go Aggies!!!!!!!
seems like a good find. ESPN had Dontrell as a 4th rounder and Leon Washington as a 2nd rounder. Their size and 40 times are similar too.
Supposedly, Nugent was to work on his strength this offseason to improve his distance and to get some pointers from Olindo Mare. Time will tell. If you look at both the Pats and Jets, they signed ND guys. I'm sure Charlie Weis was trying to find homes for his kids, and no better places for a shot than on the rosters of guys he coached with/for at the Pats.
Ha Ha, nice one. I'm quite sure they think that judging from the tread marks going up the Aggies backs. Ha ha....Lobos own the Aggies!! I love rivalries.
Why do the patriots feel the need to pickup every single Florida Gator that was eligible, not only did they draft 2 Gators, Chad Jackson and Jeremy Mincey, they then signed 3 more, Vernell Brown, Jarvis Herring and Randy Hand. Im so pissed, they coulda gone to anywhere but the Pats, but they all had to go to the damn Pats
I remember last summer there were some stories about how bellichick and some of the offensive coaches went down to Gainsville and talked to Meyer because they were impressed with his offensive system. After that meyer was gushing about BB, so I think Florida is now one of those schools bellichik looks to for unerrated guys, like he has with Pat Hill's team at Fresno.
