From the highlights I've seen: hell ya. We need fight and attitude. Crabtree, Marshall, Ownes, they all straighten out eventually. We could really use a guy who fights for the ball and every yard.

I'm really liking the WRs and TEs we brought in. Something to get excited about.

Give the kid a chance, I think he's been humbled. Highlights looks good, its like we have a riches at receivers now.

There really hasn't been any off the field issues with all the supposed "trouble makers" from the Rams.

I am sure there were a LOT of issues other than those listed too. Problem kid who Snead probably gave a shot to due to the Auburn connection.

I'll bet he's cut quickly. Dudes like that can't keep their inner @$$holishness under control for long.

going undrafted after being rated very high, just might be a growing up experience, especially when he realizes how much money this foolishness cost him

Duke has skills and he played against the best in college football the SEC. I hope he turns it around and becomes a great WR for us. He needs to grab this opportunity and not let go. Not worried about our locker room because we have strong leaders who won't put up with bs.

And this is obviously a football player, seems contact over the middle does not bother his a bit

He is legit. There are a lot of factors here. First we have a serious inside track at Auburn, Fishers son played there, and maintains ties. If the kid we a lost cause, we wouldn't be wasting our time. To all the Gus saying he's not an athlete or not skilled, with all due respect your high. Take away the off the field stuff he would have gone 2nd round. He ran a slow time after being out of football for almost a year, GUARENTEE if he had played all year he would have AT LEAST ran what Treadwell did.

It's going to depend on if they think he is remorseful and matured, and if they believe he is intelligent enough to pick up a real offense and not that Auburn run first program. Also GUARENTEED he can block.

He ran a slow 40 after being out of football for a year but if he had played it would have been faster? What does that say about his personal work ethic? I don't know the dude, don't know his troubles, haven't watched any film. But that statement you made just screams not focused on the game or improvement.

I also may be way off on this but didn't Fishers son play at Montana where TruJ was drafted out of. . . it's Snead with the Auburn connection.

Fisher has two sons, one you are correct current Ram defensive backs coach Brandon Fisher played at Montana and had a hand in the Rams drafting Trumaine Johnson, but also Trent Fisher Jeff's second son played football at Auburn and is another reason the Rams looked toward the Auburn Tigers for selection very much like Rex Ryan's son playing at Clemson and the Bills having many Clemson Tigers on their roster.

I just feel like people here are too quick to judge someone they've never met, and are against this guy getting a TRYOUT. I don't know the guy, but I'm not going to make baseless assumptions like you're doing, I'm going to let Fisher and Snead do their job. If he's as bad as you say he is, he'll be out the door quick as can be. If he's not, then maybe we get a steal on a 2nd round talent. What's the harm in checking? There's no reason not to.

If you have a difference in opinion than some of the guys in this forum that's perfectly fine but please no personal attacks allowed. Saying people are "high" because they disagree with you is uncalled for. Although I'm high right now(y). Plus I don't think the guy got a workout anyway.

Baseless assumptions ? I'm not
assuming that he got suspended for a "interaction" with a coach...I'm not assuming that he got dismissed from Auburn football...
