Opening Statement: “Right now we are spending a lot of time just going through and preparing for the next phase of this which is signing (undrafted) free agent players, that’ll take place right after the seventh round concludes. I think it has been an important part of the process for us every year we just try to go through, every year there are about 40-50 players at least that make rosters so there will be a lot of phone calls, a lot of recruiting going on here pretty soon.”
What did you guys see in a guy like Rufus Johnson?
“One of the things we try to do in the later rounds is look at size, speed and some measurables, we were able to do that with guys like Zach Strief or Marques Colston. He is someone that has that stature, smaller school, he is a player that once the season was over with, he played one of those all-star games and opened up some eyes, but he has those physical stature that you are looking for. We feel like he is a guy that can rush the passer really well. so he can line up one of those outside positions and we will see how he develops. You are looking for some traits that stand out and with him clearly that was the case.”
