Miami Players sign as UDFAs

Of this group, I'd say Kamalu probably has the best chance to stick in the league. He's got a lot of characteristics teams look for in a 3/4 end.

I think Scott and Waters can find success but neither of them showed the consistency Allen Hurns showed as a senior. They can make plays but wide receivers with inconsistent hands who aren't particularly fast or big are a dime a dozen.

McCord is going to an ideal situation in Pitt but it's going to be hard to make the roster as a one dimensional reserve linebacker. He's going to have to make an impact on special teams.

I always cheer for our guys to make NFL teams but being honest, it's hard for me to see Howard or Heurtelou playing in the NFL. I understand Howard got shafted by sub par coaching but Artie Burns was getting the exact same coaching and he got drafted in the first round. Maybe he can land in the right scheme where he can showcase what he does well without being exposed too much for what he doesn't do well.

All awesome points, [MENTION=14036]DTP[/MENTION]. Herb was definitely not the type of consistent producer that Hurns was, but the Packers franchise and Aaron Rodgers being factors in his situation are what make it unique to me. Herb is still immature and raw. He has some great physical tools. Maybe he can finally grow up in that environment.

Kamalu is in a great position to flourish in Houston. Their hybrid 34 system is perfect for him, and he'll get to have the opportunity to learn from the best at that positon. Kamalu is a physical freak, who is still relatively new to football. He has a high ceiling.

You said it best with McCord. Ideal situation. Great franchise; great system. He'll do well in that old school 34 where he can really focus on rushing the passer.

I hope Scott sticks with the phins...the past two udfa wrs from miami to miami didn't work...streeter and laron byrd. It'll be a tough task with parker, stills, landry, hazel and the other 2 wrs they drafted.

Hurns was an unreal story. Goes undrafted and then scores 2 TD's in week 1 and makes instant impact. Hopefully some of these guys can contribute quickly.

I have a feeling Scott will do something similar. Maybe not quite the impact Hurns had but I believe he's too good not to be drafted. How do you abuse the top CB in the draft but then go undrafted?

True.
 
i'm glad they are at least UFDAs and making some money. if a cause of action existed against a coach for ruining a kid's career and future earnings, i would take the case pro bono and sue golden for the millions he cost dozens of players.

This has to be a joke or it's one of the funnier posts I've ever seen here.

Waters pull a Sam Shields? LOL. Waters was decent at best. He had weird speed and not nearly the type of athlete to be a corner. Supposedly a low 4.4 guy but never broke through.

McCord may make a roster. Just a tweener. Good enoug to make plays on college but not an NFL talent IMO. Same with Howard.

Not trying to be a **** but let's be honest.

Herb made more plays than you would think. The concern I have is that I don't recall him playing much special teams, which is what could help him stick at first while he continues to improve.
 
Tracy Howard is the type of corner that needs to be able to mix it up with receivers. He can make a team and push for playing time in a system like Quinns D in Atlanta.
 
Tyriq McCord is a edge rushing nightmare.. Coaches took that away from him and expected him to be something he's not, a traditional linebacker.

Doesn't Burns going in the 1st round kinda murder the ol' "Tracy Howard wasn't utilized properly" argument?

Thats just my opinion.... i think he is more of a press corner, and to me we played too much zone....

He got toasted when he played press. Even the FAU WR's were dogging him.

And why would a CB be great at press but bad at zone?

Speed....some cant run as fast and will get burned...if you can jam a WR to slow him down coming out the break, you have a better shot at containing him then letting a WR just run by you without getting a hand on him...plus our DBs were good at not allowing the deep ball only becaause we played that zone....they didn't get burned much

Tracy was better on the outside than Corn... The coaches had it out for him. They don't even know how to develop corners. Talking bs about he got toasted wtf does that mean? All our corners have gotten toasted before Jalen Ramsey too. Tracy did no worse than anybody else didnt get a fair shake.

You have a new excuse every time, it's this or that...how bout we try he isn't that good and he's probably not going to make the Browns roster...and I'll bet you'll come back with he's already the third best CB on the team

I think he will bro... nobody thought Shields would make Green Bay Roster and he did...and he was in far worse shape than Howard..he was converted CB for one year no technique or nothing and he is now a Pro Bowler... if he can make the Packers..im sure Howard can make the Browns...hard work will get him there
 
Add to the list:

Former QB Jake Heaps - Seahawks
