Apparently he has no NFL experience and goes by J.J. Finley.

As Proud mentioned, he is a future NASCAR driver for Hendricks Motorsports.

His name is seriously Jon Jon?

camp fodder

With a name like that, he makes the roster lol

[GolfRasta]

Nice actual news....Never heard of him. OTAs start the 22nd right?

It's actually Joe Jon Finley and I'm disappointed... Saw Jon Jon Finley, which sounded cooler and less Beverly Hillbillies and thought we might've signed Jermichael Finley's much lesser known brother... Nope, we signed Joe Jon Finley.

He's one cut away from becoming a Nascar driver with that name.

Ht: 6-6.5

Wt.: 254

40: 4.83

BIOGRAPHY:Two-year starter who totaled a career-high 23/290/4 as a senior after 19/241/3 the previous season.

POSITIVES:Pass-catching tight end who.s shown progress the past two years. Quickly gets off the snap, runs with good lean, and effectively extends to make the reception away from his frame. Looks the pass into his hands, adjusts to the errant throw, and comes out of a crowd with the ball. Uses his frame to protect the pass and effectively makes body-catches when necessary. Gives effort as a blocker and makes good use of angles in pass protection.

NEGATIVES:Marginally strong at the point and struggles to control defenders. Has not been overly productive in college.

ANALYSIS:Finley is a tough prospect who gets the job done. He is a solid middle-round prospect who could eventually develop into a productive player at the next level.

PROJECTION:Early Seventh Round
