Apparently, the veteran combine's 40 timing method makes times slightly slower than the actual combine's time, so his time would likely translate to somewhere in the 4.40 - 4.49 range.

 

5'11 & 177 lbs measurables. Not terrible for a potential scrappy slot receiver type. Plays professionally in Japan and it seems as if he dominates the competition. He was invited to Atlanta's 'international practice squad' a few years ago and Baltimore's training camp in 2013, apparently impressing.

 

 

Caught some awfully thrown passes in this highlight video, and seems to have some shiftiness and tenacity.

 

Training camp fodder? I'll take it 10 times outta 10. Love guys that have something they're trying to prove. He likely can't hang with NFL talent, but deserving of a look IMO.

      Give Legette another season?

      By frankw · Posted

      There is a lot of talk about his IQ and his commitment to the game and this and that and no one can firmly say one way or another unless they are with him day to day. Not to mention the standards don't jive with the presented reasoning for defending Bryce Young’s rookie season and subsequent beginning of his sophomore season and third season to where we are now 40+ games as he is finally beginning to string together better QB play. When I think of Legette present day I think back to Ted Ginn being a pretty significant bust with the Dolphins as a 9th overall pick and then coming to Carolina (twice) and still struggling with the same mental errors on the field and Cam Newton going back to him again and again and again and even going to a Super Bowl with him as the #1 WR. Deactivating him is weak. Figure something out to his strengths for the rest of the season and reassess in the offseason.

      No MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.... this season is a WIN in my books

      I think the season has been a success.  I try to look back at what I said would be a successful season before week 1 and we have reached that.  The success though has you wanting more haha.  But we've had improvements and are right there fighting.  Bryce has improved which was a big thing we needed.  Hope we improves more obviously.  But I agree with others about Evero, unless we have an offense putting up 30 points a game I don't like this type of defense he has.  No pressure either.  The biggest issues I see with this team are, zero pressure on the QB, soft zones, and the horrible special teams play on kickoffs/return coverage.  So I wouldn't mind replacing Evero if someone better is available and definitely get someone new running special teams.  When you combine Evero's defense and the fact we allow teams such good field position often it's a bad match.  Overall, we have won 8 games which is crazy.
