Damiere Byrd Has A Message To The Doubters

[outlaw4]

I'll count him out, then. Last time I doubted receivers was before the start of the 2015 season. Just saying.

The "laser times" at the combine are basically BS too, FWIW.

I'd be surprised if he even see the fields outside of 3rd team in the preseason. gonna be hard to show what he has

The former South Carolina wide receiver ran a 4.25 40-yard dash that was the talk of the Gamecocks’ Pro Day . Some scouts clocked Byrd as low as 4.16, he was told.

Byrd had a 42-inch vertical and 10-foot-11 broad jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.03 seconds, the three-cone in 6.6 seconds and the 60-yard long shuttle in 10.90 seconds, which is unheard of (that time is faster than any other time posted at the 2015 scouting combine). Byrd also had 13 strength lifts. 

That's quite possibly the worst highlight song I've ever heard. 

 

Also show me. Byrd has done literally nothing to warrant a roster spot. It's time to put up or shut up.

No one is counting Byrd out. He certainly needs to step up if he wants to remain part of the 53, and actually get more play time.

I guess he just told off all 3 of his doubters.

He looked fantastic against 3rd stingers in preseason. Beyond that I don't what he has to bring to the table against starters.

Well considering Byrd has spent the last two seasons on the PS, he really hasn't had a chance to show what he's capable of.

However, he was activated for the last game last season and had a kickoff return of 31 yards and one catch for 16 yards, and was only targeted once that game.  Not too bad for his first NFL game.  Bersin, however, was activated for ten games and had two receptions for 17 yards and has been in the league for four years. Anyone who would rather have Bersin over Byrd is crazy.

Coaches generally aren't out to consciously cut their own throats.  If they thought Byrd would benefit the team more than Bersin he would have been activated.  FTR I don't know why Byrd has been inactive almost his entire career...but then again I'm not at practices or in the film room.

He's only 4'2"? I thought he was taller than that...

Byrd was an average college WR and I never expected him to be anything more than a special teams player. Hope he proves me wrong

I bashed him last year and counted him out before it started.

I won't do it again.  Good Luck Byrd.
