Cam Wake looks like a man among boys
still early, but that’s a good sign
Abandoned the Draft Sean Smith at #25 Bandwagon to Join the Draft Sean Smith at #61 Bandwagon and get Vontae Davis and a 5th Rounder. Trio > me.
Yeah imagine if he has a year like Ware or Harrison omg

I orginally thought he couldnt take part in this because he wasnt a "rookie"
I was surprised to read that.
He's still a first-year player though
Maybe there’s an exception for transfers from the AFL and CFL. And yeah, I’d love to see him follow fellow undrafted linebacker James Harrison’s route to greatness.

yea
Ethan Skolnick reported yesterday that Wake couldnt take part because he had been in a training camp with the Giants previously – but corrected that info in his camp report – saying that since Wake doesn’t have an accrued season, he could take part.
In listening to the post-practice interviews...
… you can just hear how more calm and confident Wake is compared to the other rookies (I think Chris Clemons was about to poop himself, basically just repeating the questions asked of him). It’s obvious that Wake is taking his “second chance” in the NFL 100% seriously and is ready to live up to that 4 year contract. I really hope that he can oust Roth as Joey’s OLB partner in crime.

well Cameron Wake has played Pro Football, Clemons hasnt
he’s still a kid.

Pat White......
the INT’s werent pretty…but thats to be expected when ur playing street ball everybody go long stuff.
the TD was described on the radio by Omar as “The prettiest pass I have seen a Phins QB throw since Dan Marino”…50 yards in the air tight spiral right on the money and Armstrong jogged in.
They were debating if the Davis INT would have been a pick 6….but the fantasy was Davis runs a 4.48 and White a 4.5 (or the other way around)…so could White catch him…maybe…but White isnt tackling that freight train Vontae Davis in the open field.
My favorite #24 looks sexy stretched around massive beefcake muscles….k maybe sexy isnt the word. Cool?
I find myself really really REALLY rooting for this Marion kid….story is something else and he is cocky….chances are slim he even breaks the practice squad though…i just hope he gets in some preseason games and at least impresses someone else…so he can lead the life and say it was all worth it.

100% agree
I don’t think he’ll show enough to make it here – though the PS could be an option if he plays well
But even if he gets his shot with another team, I’m pulling for him. He seems like a good, honest kid and god knows he’s been through a lot.
well said
