  • Usually this type of thing is someone asking for a favor, getting a tryout.
  • Who is here that was connected with him when he was in Pittsburgh, besides Tepper? (okay maybe he was not not there who am I thinking of?)
  • Somehow I got this in bullet points and can’t find how to change it. Oh well...

Another situation where a number of you didn't read the linked article but jumped to conclusions.

No, we are just talking about it in theory, same as we would do for anyone "linked" to us via pure speculation or actual interest.

I don't think anyone here actually believes this is a real possibility. 

 

After all, who in the world does this guy beat out? I genuinely think TMJ and Mingo are busts but at least you have the slim hope of the light switch being flipped. What is the hope for an early 30's WR that has been out of the NFL for years and had very modest production at multiple lower levels of football.

'Bryant was reinstated last November from an indefinite suspension that was put in place while he was playing for the Raiders during the 2018 season.'

20 fugging 18. LOL. It's just funny to me that Caldwell was hanging with him at an event.

Hanging with him?

The entire story came from Bryant mentioning some likr passing words they had. It's Bryant promoting himself

If I remember right he was a big bodied, jump ball type WR. If he has stayed in good shape his age shouldn’t hurt him too much as he was never a speed guy. He might have a hard time staying healthy though…

Bryant IMO was easily the most physically talented WR IMO that has come out of Clemson.   Just didn't have it above the shoulders to prioritize football.   He had it all.  

But dude hasn't played in the NFL in a half decade.  It's pointless to talk about him IMO.  But I hope he is in a better path these days.

Oh I doubt he gets offered. I’m just saying his style of play with his size brings more injury concerns with age than drop off of skill. I also doubt he is in NFL shape anyway. If we threw him a minimum contract he probably doesn’t make the 53 man cut.

Looks like he just mentioned a conversation with Jim Caldwell. There's nothing of substance otherwise.

But hey, don't let that stop the misery! 😄

Some of y'all do realize that just clicking and reading will save you more time than immediately having an emotional response... right?

I didn't realize he was in the XFL this past year.  Wonder how he did there.  I mean, the dude was a freak.  I thought he was out of football and thus way way out of shape.  I mean, not saying we should, but if he has been playing he might be worth a camp tire kick for some team.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Hypothetical question draft content*

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
