Hmmm I wonder how this fits in with Parker and Houston. We would have to take all 3 right?

 

[Roger Dorn]

Obviously a talented player and would love to have him. But do we think he will be a true OLB for us? Could be a pass rush specialist type of guy I suppose.

I would say ILB/OLB hybrid. Guy who could play both. A more athletic Colin Miller.

I think that’s a good comparison, maybe even an Eric Martin type role too. Could also see Breon Dixon in that role this year too. Definitely a fan of getting more overall athleticism on the field.

I would think so. Earlier this week we were thinking we would take Houston, Bivens and possibly Parker so I would think we would have room. Still skeptical on Parker though.

Def closer to Breon Dixon, in fact is a little bigger than Dixon. Miller is quite a bit larger

It would be a fortunate get at this point.

This would be a great last minute snag. Always nice to get a family member of a former Husker. Wonder if big brother said let's at least go look.

Had heard distance from home was a big factor for him, surprised we are pulling a visit. 

He won't, so don't believe it. 

 Color me surprised we are getting a visit, hope I'm completely wrong and he chooses us.

We apparently are his last visit. Hopefully he gets a BIG WOW with his visit and signs with us.

Now 247 is saying they have not heard he will be here this weekend. 

 

[ArkanSkers]

He just got another cb to Va Tech, too.
