Daniel Porter RB, LA Tech (UDFA)

[Guest silver82blade]

what do you guys think of our undrafted free agent pickup here? 5'9", 196 pounds. undersized, but a scraper. reminds me of adrian peterson, but without the elite speed. he certainly has adequate speed for the professional level though. had back to back 1,100 yard rushing seasons. what do you think his chances are to make the team with goodson and sutton already here?

There is something really strange about his running style. I don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing, but def something strange there

WOW .. he is the definition of heart on the football field .. never gives up on a play .. great pickup

[cookinbrak]

Looks kinda like Fred Lane. Keeps his feet moving until he's down.

[God]

WOW this kid is strong. I would love to have daniel on the team, good luck!

[jramsey4]

Not bad. I doubt he makes the cut however.

Impressive highlights, but I see no way he makes the team. Unless, perhaps, they think he can be a very dynamic returner. I don't think he has the speed for that.

John Fox gizzed in his pants when he saw the Cowboys 3 man rushing game, he wants a good #3. is it this guy? prob not. not as easy to do this in the NFL. unfortunately, we have to wait until pre-season, if he makes it, and then we still dont know. Remember how awesome we thought Goodson was....

[nosuchthingasapanther]

it's like watching a peewee league running back...

no real power and only a low gear, but excellent balance and constant leg work to get the job done...at that level.

i don't see him transitioning well to the nfl level...but then again what do i know. i'm not an nfl scout.

[PrimeTyme]

In order for him to make the team he would have to unseat Sutton or Goodson and that is unlikely... BUT stranger things have happened

Remember how awesome we thought Goodson was....

I still have high hopes. He's not going to contribute much behind two of the best backs in the league.

I think they'll work him in as a slot receiver some this year. At least I hope so. He can be the speedy guy we need at the position.

[MadHatter]

With DWill, Stewart, Goodson, Sutton....there is no way this guy makes the squad.

[Guest silver82blade]

my opinion is that he could compete for a roster spot. heart and will power like that are a big part of what separates successful and unsuccessful players who are not prototypical in their size. if it wasn't for deangelo's heart and vision he'd be a career backup. he's certainly not the fastest or strongest guy on the field. i think goodson or sutton are officially on a bubble. i doubt a guy with that much will power on the field comes in to camp expecting to be cut or put on the practice squad. he'll give them a run for their money. it might come down to who fumbles the most.

I think its the short running stride he has....plus the multiple defenders hanging off him.
