japan Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 1 minute ago, Starkiller said: Most of these guys aren’t Finch, first of all. As I said, he was paid well for a reason. Not like most UDFAs. Further, his situation was very different than someone like Stinnie, who also won a roster spot despite being undrafted but never played on offense. OLBs are going to rotate. So it’s way less surprising when a backup like Finch gets some decent playing time. Especially when you figure in injuries they had at the position and the age of the starters. The backups play at his position. And Finch made an impact when he was given the chance which is rare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR/Returner Anthony Ratcliff Williams Edge rusher Derrick Roberson RB Alex Barnes Hamp Cheevers and Adonis Davis are headed to PS for a developmental year as well. I think they said Hamp Cheevers was the #1 rated coverage corner of all Qualifying players last year. Opposing QBs would have had a better rating throwing the ball in the dirt than throwing to receivers he was covering. 7 ints against 3 TDs .. like a 45% completion% for lower yardage. too bad he's like 5'6" Edited April 30, 2019 by titanruss Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanDuckFan Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Uh oh, JRob may be on to something here,... https://www.houseofnames.com/cheever-family-crest Quote Cheever History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms The Cheever surname is derived from the Anglo-Norman French word "chivere" or "chevre," meaning "goat." (emphasis mine) Wow, too bad his first name is "Hamp" instead of "Hemp." Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted April 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Cheever has a chance to be a sub-package DB who lines up against specific players. He's going to be limited by his height no matter what. You can get away with being 5'9" if you're athletic enough. 5'6" is pretty tough to overcome in the NFL when many of the WRs you're likely to face are at least 5'11".

10 A See Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 5' 10". I REALLY miss seeing this guy play lol... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcibiades Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Again, it's not just his height. He's very thin. Players who weigh less than 180 tend to be too small for the NFL, especially if playing on defense. Hard to tackle people. But on STs, same problem. Could he add strength and weight? Maybe. Would he lose speed? Possibly. I just don't see it, really, but of course I'd love to be wrong. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 He is pretty tiny, but occasionally small CBs make it. He seems to be pretty quick and good in coverage so there’s always a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cshumak2 Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 He seems like the kind of guy you want to stash on the ps for a year or 2. See if he can bulk up a little in an NFL strength and conditioning program. If he can then with his coverage ability you may have a decent player.
