i could see some competition for a backup safety spot

"My agent said I had a choice to go to one of three teams," Scirrotto said. "With Carolina, it was just the best opportunity, and it just fit me right.

"The biggest thing is where you think you'll have the best opportunity to make the 53-man roster. I knew that they had veteran safeties. The backup opportunity is there, but I'm going to play everywhere they want me -- special teams, I can run down the field and tackle, catch punts, do whatever they ask."

the dude is going to be a workhorse jack of all trades.

i don't see him being starting caliber but i do see him being one of those guys who is very solid everytime and in every situation he is called on.

i like him. he'll be on that 53 man roster.

I think the kid's got potential to stick also. I personally would'nt mind if he supplanted Nate Salley. I like Salley's ability to lay the wood, but his aggressiveness has caused unnecessary injuries to our own players i.e. Steve Smith and Ryne Robinson the last two minicamps and we really can't afford to lose too many contributors on the team due to TC. Add to this, Salley's a liability in coverage and limited to special teams, and Scirrotto may be an upgrade there as a backup safety and special teams player.

Im not sold on the kid yet, watching a lot of Penn State games (Big Ten network on local cable package) they showed alot of their games and just wasn't impressed by the kid. He never gave up but was not very good of providing cover support in the pass but if he is going to be used to special teams he may do alright...idk

Playing devils advocate...

We are quickly running out of roster spots and it seems like all of our UDFA are going to make the team based on comments on this board. I hope all these guys were just overlooked and are true finds but reality says that only 1 or 2 have a legitimate shot at sticking. I think in his best case, he is an UDFA rookie who will be competing with Joe Fields for a roster spot. (an UDFA on the practice squad).

Hope I am wrong but I doubt it.

LG: wharton, bernadeau

C: kalil

RG: vincent, duke

RT: otah, schwartz

____

LDE: brayton, johnson

LDT: kemo, harvey

RDT: lewis, irvin, hayden

RDE: peppers, brown, taylor

SLB: diggs, ivy

MLB: beason, connor

WLB: davis, landon johnson

LCB: marshall, sherrod, munnerlyn*

      Did someone say "hybrid" player?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      There are a couple of options. One is just to not accept your commission and just pay back the Academy for your education. Alot of money for normal folk, but if you're drafted high enough it's a drop in the bucket. You'll need a waiver not to go in enlisted, but normally drafted players get waivers to join the reserves instead of active duty military. Showing that you can actually go to the NFL from a military academy is much better for recruitment than having one more officer on a ship/sub/aircraft. Things were different in the Staubach and David Robinson days. I remember Mike Wahle just paying back the Academy after getting kicked out for steroids after his junior year. Not a big deal when you're drafted in the 2nd round.

      Whoever you get has to be able to shoot a 3 for spacing purposes, especially if you want to replace Miles at 4 with Moose and run a different center.    I like the Miles for Giannis trade idea but where do you put him? At center?    Can you imagine a double screen and roll/slip with with Lamelo, Giannis and Kon... 👀   If you do that trade you need another free agent / draft pick to play at 4 that can stretch the floor otherwise I don't think it works.
