David Gettis & Greg Hardy

[davos]

These two guys have some similarities that are making people pass over them in my opinion and have a pretty good shot at making the team and doing rather well in the long run...

-They were both under-utilized due to the teams they were on and their style of play. Baylor just isn't a great passing school, or a solid all around team, with only 2900 yds passing and 13 TDs last year. Gettis managed 52/672/3td and returned punts. Hardy played 18-games over the last 2 seasons (with injury problems) had 34 tackles/13.5 sacks/16 tfls/1 int. He was not a major part of the Rebels team but was still a huge force and big prospect at multiple points of his college career.

-They both are over-sized for their positions yet surprisingly versatile, STRONG, & quick

In review:

Our WR core after Smith, LaFell, & Edwads imo is pretty much up for grabs. This leaves 1-2 (maybe 3) wideouts to be added. Gettis has all the tools and if he can adjust to the NFL well, we may have found something special.

And for DEs imo, Brayton, Brown, & Johnson should be making the team, leaving Hardy to fight really hard in camp. If he gets his injury problem in control, he may be the most utilized DE on the team other than Johnson by the year's end. We could be really set on D if both Norwood & Hardy do well in camp.

edit: I was mistaken Norwood = LB

Anyone share the same sentiment?

Norwood is a LB...

[tattoorhino]

And Norwood is a BEAST. Not "THE Beast" but a BEAST!

[davos]

Norwood is a LB...

Fixed.

His DE/LB experience shows he could very well be used at the line occasionally.

Greg Hardy looks impressive, but he may need to put on some weight. I still can't believe we got him so low, but I guess the injury bug won't leave him alone.

[SorthNarolina]

Norwood is a LB...

Norwood is going to have his hand in the dirt plenty.

personally, i don't think gettis has a chance in hell of making the roster. practice squad maybe. it's just numbers. smitty, lafell, and edwards are locks for the roster. jarrett's there unless he gets cut. kenny moore is probably ahead of him at this point even though he hasn't proven much (umm...neither has gettis). then throw wright, jackson, and martin in the mix. if jarrett doesn't get released, gettis basically has to beat out moore, wright, jackson, and martin to even be considered for a spot on the roster. i doubt that's going to happen. that doesn't even acknowledge the other UDFAs and floaters that will come in as camp fodder. the odds are heavily stacked against the guy.

I dont expect much out of ether of these guys. People have hyped them up but there was a reason they fell so far.

Cannot think of a single WR that didn't score TD's in college but scored TD's in the pro's.
