Thought Baron would’ve went higher, but cautioned about his game film.

Nfl.com has his prospect grade 5.69. Nothing more than career backup or practice squad guy

Our fans can't distinguish player vs coaching failures. Guidry screwed over Kiko in a big way. Meesh too, for that matter.

As a longtime Fin fan I can't root for a Jet but congrats anyways to the young man

I’m a fan of Kiko, so huge congrats to him. Hope he balls out. While I agree Guidry put Kiko (and our entire defense) in a bad position, Kiko didn’t do himself any favors by missing easy tackles, taking bad angles, and committing stupid penalties. Not to mention cold ****ing that Duke player. Lucky he didn’t get a penalty and kicked out of the game.
