The Sycamore Level
With the NFL lockout now over does anybody know if any of the current Sycamores in the NFL are going to be free agents or what Darrius Gates' chances are of being signed to a 90 man training camp squad?

I doubt he gets signed but he reminds me soooo much of Pats running back Kevin Faulk. Hopefully he makes a teams training camp roster. TJ could fill us in more depth.
 
I think Petrowski was released by Carolina....

he was playing in the UFL, but that league has been put on hold. As for Gates, he might get a looksee as a return specialist. His size hurts him as a running back in the NFL. But if given an opportunity, he could wind up impressing somebody. Kevin Faulk is a little bulkier.

NFL scouts look at him as a specialized back....

a punt and kickoff returner, a spot running back who can be used as a pass receiver out of the backfield. He isn't viewed as the kind of back who can be an every down runner in the NFL and carry the ball 20-25 times.

I agree with that but do you think he will get signed?

was that pre- or post-lockout?

Do you think he'll catch on with someone else?

At one time, time on practice squads worked against you -- i.e. at some point you had to be on the 53-man roster...

Anyone know if that was considered under the new CBA?
 
Talked to Gates this morning.....

via Facebook....

He told me that he hasn't heard from anybody yet. I have a feeling that he may end up in the CFL or the UFL (if that league plays this year).
