Re: UNI guys in the NFL
Is there a limit to the number of people that can be invited to mini-camps?Comment

Re: UNI guys in the NFL
I think so, but not 100% certain. Obviously, they only invite people they feel have a remote chance of making the team. Remote is the key word. Your priority free agents stand a better chance, and even then maybe only 2, 3, 4 etc. make the roster and practice squad every year. The flipside to that is that usually there is little difference in grading (projected potential) between the priority free agents and guys who were drafted in the 6th or 7th round.Originally posted by Trapped in California View PostComment

Re: UNI guys in the NFL
Teams are only allowed to have 80 players on their roster for summer camp, but I don't know if that applies to mini-camp as well, or if many of those attending are just "trying out" for a spot on that 80-man roster.Originally posted by Trapped in California View PostComment

Re: UNI guys in the NFL
Training camp is different. The mini camps are used for three things:Originally posted by JayJ79 View Post
1. Acclimate your draft picks and priority free agents to your schemes.
2. Evaluate them compared to their peers.
3. Evaluate the players who are invitees.
I'm not aware of any invitee type players who've ever made a roster, but I'm sure there are some one-off examples, and a few guys who've made practice squads and had a "cup of coffee" in the league. Keep in mind that the invitees (ie. Eric Sanders), are different than the priority free agents (ie. Everette P., QS, Ruffin, etc.)Comment

Re: UNI guys in the NFL
Didn't see this posted by my good friend, Derrick Law, signed a free agent deal with the Vikings. Hopefully he performs well at camp.

Re: UNI guys in the NFL
I realize it's a small newspaper and UNI's website still hasn't posted any 2009 stats despite updating classes/listing Law as "graduated".....but wouldn't they think this through a little more? Congrats to Law for getting an invite after taking a year off!Originally posted by cydave View Post
Law gained 786 yards and nine touchdowns as a junior but did not play in any games for the Panthers last year.Comment

Maybe it was supposed to say "Law gained 786 yards and nine touchdowns as a junior but did not play well in any games for the Panthers last year."
Just speculating on what they meant.

Maybe it was supposed to say...."QB's throwing Pick 6's is not healthy for a power running back"....."We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."
