Patton will beat out Denmark calling it now

whats the word on Patton? how'd he go from an every day return man to cfl tryout?  just too many burners down south?

He got hurt. But imop he wasnt a dangerous returner more of a steady guy whose easily replaceable. Thats why i compared him to sutherland a fast guy who wasnt particularly dangerous and returned kicks for a year then was just gone.

Patton has the speed but it remains to be seen if he has good hands, according to his college coach he was very versatile and a great route runner.

Watched ever game of his in the ncaa, huge gators fan. Great hands better routes than Vinny Sutherland. Too small for the nfl, was limited at Florida due to qb play and coach will muschamp wanting to play safe.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed International wide receiver Tevin Reese.

Reese (5-10, 170, Baylor, January 2, 1991 in Temple, TX) was originally drafted in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft by San Diego. He was signed to the Cincinnati Bengals practice roster in September of 2014, and remained on their practice roster for the season. Reese played collegiate football at Baylor, where he had a standout career for the Bears. Over his four year tenure there, Reese hauled in 187 receptions, for over 3,102 yards and 24  touchdowns. Those numbers rank him third in school history for a receiver.

I like the competition, but I get the feeling Denmark is on his way out, or that coaching/management want him out. 

He definitely wins the award for strangest looking guy we've signed this offseason.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I also remember this guy from when he was with the Bengals. I'll look it up after work unless somebody else wants to but I'm pretty sure he's got potential to be the deep ball threat we've been needing. This could be the guy to push Denmark out, if it's who I'm thinking of.

There was some guy on the Bengals who averaged something ridiculous like 50 or 60 yards on all his touchdown catches in college. Total YAC monster. I think that's this guy.

This is the stats line for Reese

Bauming was tweeting that this guy has some sort of NCAA record for "Most Catches Longer Than 40 Yards" or some such thing....so yeah, that sounds like this guy. 

I dont know anything, but what i do know, is with dressler and smith at 5'7", Patton at 5'9, Reese at 5'10 and Denmark at 5'11", addison richards is gonna look like andre the giant out there

had a moment to look it up

this is the guy I was thinking of

definitely my favorite receiving prospect Walters has ever brought in

half of his height is hair though

Reese looks like a monster gonna be a sick TC cant wait for it to start.

Reese caught passes from Robert Griffin III in 2011 if i'm not mistaken.

Don't know about that the Bomber brass wants Denmark out or not but what I do know is that our receivers sucked last year so if we can either get them to step up their game or get someone better to replace them, I'm fine with that. I love Denmark but I love the Bombers more.

I wonder if Denmark has any trade value? Riders could use receivers. 4th or 5th round pick?

you are right. I watched some of his various game high lights. Guy has great intangibles blocks really well and caught some awful passes.

Looks like they are loading up on receivers for mini-camp.  Bet a bunch don't make it to main camp.

i never get cuts before TC cut down day. But We have seen some guys look all world in mini camp and never even seem to show up to main camp.

 Its early but WR looks like the position battle to watch this year.

I don't think they need to cut Denmark right away.  How about we try to have a solid group of starting receivers plus a capable rookie ready to come off the bench.

Adams - Dressler - Smith - Denmark - Kohlert , then let the new guys fight it out for the extra receiver spot.
