Dropping down like that has to be a tough pill to swallow.

If he plays well he could move back up somewhere

He's apparently retained the same guy that represented the Wisconsin player. Grab your popcorn, this could get messy.

Penn State is pulling a Cignetti and doubling up! No need to waste money paying 18-year olds when you can just raid all the best players from your last team!

Potentially a slightly different scenario given the addition of revenue sharing and signing a contract directly with the school.

Wonder how much Chip Kelly factored into the decision. Has he historically called plays that spotlight the TE?

I was hoping we would get him but he doesnt really fit the bill as a pj tight end. I, personally would like a tight end that could stretch the field, but with Voss coming and some younger guys they must not have felt another tight end was at the top of their needs.

And to add l, I believe fleck has 3 tight ends in the league, so they must be doing something right in terms of development at that position

I’m sure that Luke will do a good job. We should be looking for the next Ko Kieft. He was a devastating blocker, who spring the outside for us a lot!

Williams will do the George Costanza where he quits and then just shows up on Monday as if nothing happened.

You ignore that when you can add a name like Taco Dowler.

I hope his middle name is Tuesday

He just blame Lane Kiffen.

I give Williams agent a good chunk of credit for his return to the Huskies. I think the agent dumping him knocked some sense into him. And UW gets the rest of the credit for not releasing him to the Transfer Pool and threatening him with a lawsuit.
