He needs to go to a place that will utilize him. Hopefully he has some choices and good people giving him advice on where to go. He’d be a dirt cheap weapon that I would think atleast make a practice squad if he can prove value blocking on special teams. He needs go to a place with a creative OC.

You may not want to agree with the rap, but it was very real, even at ISU. We as fans just don’t remember the drops because he has a highlight reel of unbelievable catches at ISU, but yeah - he would drop routine passes often. In the NFL highlight reels don’t matter if you can’t make the basic plays. Add in injury issues at Arizona, and his reputation went south.
Saw him drop a contested TD earlier. Would love for the Vikings to pick him up.
That last TD really hurt their chances. They are now counting on Seattle to lose to Vegas to make it, or for Vegas to score more than 34 in a Seattle win. And even then they can't win that tiebreaker, just force it to the fifth scenario which Seattle controls.
Kind of sucks 7-3 doesn't easily make playoffs without all that. Seemed like they had a pretty dominant year.
Not sure how they keep track of stats on the 1/2/3 point conversions but he was a beast on those plays to, basically just give it to him on the flat with a few yards to run and even if they tackle him he falls into the end zone with his size.
I'm sure if 2pt conversions were that common in the NFL there'd be an entire industry/fantasy league built on tracking those stats.
With only four teams in each division and just a ten game schedule you really increase the possibility of teams getting into the tiebreaker situation.
I like the schedule for the most part though. The entire season is on record before the NFL draft/opening of mini camps and that should really help the best guys in the league get every opportunity to find a good fit and stick with an NFL team. Butler has really put enough on tape to make a 53 man roster somewhere and contribute, if GM's value the level of competition there.
My work schedule really picks up in spring and I appreciate I got to watch weekend football during the entire slow period from November to April this year. The USFL calendar means I will probably miss it almost entirely.
Anthony Becht, coach of the St. Louis Battlehawks was shown during the broadcast tonight watching the Seattle game from a restaurant.
He was wearing a black ISU Cyclone hat.

Hakeem ended the regular season as the #1 WR in catches, yards, ypc, and TDs.

How was the atmosphere? Nice sized crowd? I wonder how the XFL is doing in terms of attendance.
