Drunken Master III Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I think drafting Hester would be a great addition to our team. He has punt and kick return skills out of this world. He could probably play cornerback or wide receiver. He is blazingly fast. Most importantly, HE IS FROM THE U!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 And really, when it comes down to it, that's all that really matters. If we're going to persue a wide receiver, which I don't really want to do, I'd rather see a veteran brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get over the Miami fanboy syndrome. its so last year. :laugh: Hester is all of 5'11" 185 lbs according to his school. once he gets measured at the combine im sure he'll lose an inch or two and 10 lbs. Besides we are going to need a safety more than a nickel CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzmuda Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hester isn't even a quality nickel back at this point. He was going to be transferred to WR before declaring. He's a player without a position that would be a project to turn into a viable NFL position player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizkiteer Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Devin Hester is amazing w/ the ball in the open field, but...(you knew one was coming, right?)...he can't cover or run disciplined routes. Love tha "U", but other than returning kicks & punts...Devin Hester will be limited at the next level. I wish he would have stayed another year.

MoDaddy Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Clearly, Hester showed his stuff as a return man, but please NO! That's all he can do. Give me my man Willie Reid!! 4.34 40 at the combine and he is one hell of a WR!! Hester couldn't learn one position in college (WR or CB) whereas Willie played 2 -- WR and RB. Bottom line: ACC Champ. Game MVP -- Willie Reid (returned a punt for a TD not to mention the big catches) Orange Bowl MVP -- Willie Reid (returned a punt for a TD not to mention his play at WR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I've said this before but it bares repeating: In all likelyhood, Hester will never amount to anything more than a return man. Even if you could guarantee me that he'd become the best return man in the league - I wouldn't use one of our first day picks on him. I would consider him on the second day though I doubt he lasts past the 4th round. The only teams that should consider a player as limited as this one probably have at least 4 and maybe 5 first days picks to take a chance. We have 2. Pass.

RDSKNfaithfull Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 We have two 5th round picks right? If so take him in the 5th :laugh: he won't make it that far and we don't have a surplus of picks so let him go. He is a idiot for not going back to school he thinks he is a superstar already becasue Deion told him so :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick1796 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 if we can use a later round pick on him then sure. Though honestly i owuld prefer jeremy bloom. Late round you can take a guy like bloom and his speciual teams work alone is worth it. he'll make a hell of a lot more imapct than oh say a LB takin in the 5th round. . . just saying late rounds you draft work ethic guys that contribute on special teams with some potential for other positions. . guys like rock cartright. and for the guys questioning bloom's dedication to football. . . stop being jealous he is GREAT at two sports and you can't warm a bench in one. He took a chance base on precident set by tim dwight and the NCAA screwed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdarugar Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Late 1st day, early 2nd day pick...I'd take a shot on him, the talent is definately there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhutanibeast Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 what do you guys think DAnte Hall is. He has no receiving skills but is purely a ridiculously athlete. I say we bring him with our 5th or 6th round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizkiteer Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 A Cane fan walks into a bar right as the Canes/ Gators Peach Bowl game is ending. As he bellies up to the bar, the bartender notices that the Canes fan has a dog with him. The bartender says " Hey ,pal, we don't allow dogs in here, sorry". The patron replies " Well, he's a special dog. I've had him since he was a puppy, and I noticed that everytime the Canes have beaten the Gators, he barks out C-A-N-E-S. Pretty wierd, but he does it every time. So, if you'd let us stay, I'll have him do it for you". Now, the bartender, also a Canes fan, thought that was pretty cool ,so he allowed the dog to stay if he barked out CANES as the fan had declared. The game ends, so the UM fan proceeds to step back, puts the dog on the floor, as crowd gathers and the little guy starts howling- " C-A-N-E-S, CANES, CANES , CANES!!" The entire bar goes nuts, cheering and high fiving. Then, the bartender asks, as the crowd gets quiet: "What does he do when the Gators win?" The Cane fans responds "Gee, I don't know about that , Mister. He' only 18 years old." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCAA | Hester blazes in the 40 - from www.KFFL.comSat, 4 Mar 2006 14:42:44 -0800 The Associated Press reports Miami CB Devin Hester ran a stunning time of 4.27 seconds in the 40-yard dash at Miami's timing day for all 32 NFL teams Saturday, March 4. He ran a 4.41 at the Indianapolis combine last month, finishing a disappointing ninth among defensive backs. Switching from an indoor surface to an outdoor field likely helped Hester.

CPstretch Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hester doesn't even have a position! he played CB and WR at the U and was terrible at both of them. there is no way gibbs will waste a draft pick on someone who only returns kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
