    It is a good story, and now looking at that video he wasn't alone in that room so maybe there were other local players just having a good time hanging out. But then it swings to the "Planned TV Show Moment", when Rodger Goodell just happens to appear on stage with him.

    Was Goodell out there for any other 7th round picks?

    He'll probably make a good assistant coach.

    Would be really fun if this guy becomes an important piece of the offense. Easy to root for.

    I love this kid. I made a comment about him being a poor man's CMC in one thread, and then saw that you said it before me in another thread. Great minds!

    He is a really good football player. My one question is about his size and his strength. I think it is going to be in his best interests if he can add about 10-12 pounds of solid muscle to his frame, and get a little stronger while keeping his quickness.

    He can do so many things well with his legs and his receiving ability, but at the NFL level I just think he needs to be just a hair bigger. If he can do that, he has a real shot to be good.

    This video says he was invited by the league to be at the draft.

    Has the potential to be a steal in the 7th. I dont know how often players from Navy make an impact in the NFL, though. Roger Staubach the most famous obviously.

    As an Army fan I can attest that this kid is good. I am glad he got drafted and also glad Army doesn’t have to deal with him anymore.

    I really hope that he's sitting at RB3 on the depth chart by the end of camp.
