meek Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Billy McMullen was a high-school buddy of mine. Not that anyone cares but its good to see him make the team. He's a big bodied receiver and did alright when he was in Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoeRedskins Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I like the pick up of Shelton, alway thought he would be a decent 2nd RB in the nfl. Anybody know what he didn't make it with the Panthers? Just to many RBs in the mix, with Foster and Williams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morpheusmeyers Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Did Shelton have any major injuries during his stint with Carolina? Agreed, he's the most intriguing of the pickups. And he's big, at almost 250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightbird Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Keep an eye on Rian Wallace. May not have fit in with Pittsburgh's 3-4, but he's a hard worker who can tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's big, at almost 250. Yes he was injured his rookie year. He was a former 2nd or 3rd round draft pick. He played against us in spot-duty when the Panthers visited in 2006 and was stuffed routinely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbrook. By the end of training camp, people will want him at safety, running back, AND punt returner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
