Rookie corner hits the market


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

I recall there being some fans of Florida corner Loucheiz Purifoy on here prior to this year's draft.  He wound up going undrafted. 

 

Now he's unemployed.

 

Colts waive cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy

 

When you make a roster move like this on Thanksgiving, cutting a player who was playing well, at a position where the Colts could use help (and Pagano expected Purifoy back on Sunday), it absolutely seems like there's more to this than we currently know.  Perhaps we'll find out later, but either way the Colts have waived Loucheiz Purifoy and signed Jalil Brown.

 

Given that this has all the signs of being a "non-football" cut, odds are he probably won't end up being a viable option.

 

Interesting story, though. At one time he was considered a prospect for a high pick.  A linked story in the article discusses how he wound up falling.

Maybe he was banging a coaches daughter or something. If that's the case... No chance we sign him.

 

Don't know.  Would it make a difference as long as it isn't one of our coaches? :lol:

 

Ya gotta figure there's a reason, though.  Teams don't just let talented guys go for nothing.

You know HoodieLord tried to keep Hernandez on work release while he dealt with his legal trouble

 

Some things even Belichick can't fix :lol:

 

 

Purifoy and Norman sounds like an intriguing, yet combustible combo

 

That's probably a pretty accurate statement.

    • I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.
    • I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
