Willie VDS' chances in the NFL

Perhaps this has already been posted, but found it to be an interesting read and certainly appears that Willie chose a very good spot to try and earn a spot in the NFL.

Great link Coolhand. Ernie Wheelwright was signed by the Ravens last year as a UDFA and ended up on the active roster for 3 games while spending most of the rest of the year on the practice squad.

Willie lined up with the first team at Terrell Suggs position during Baltimore's recent mini camp. I always keep up with former Gophers and hope they succeed (even watched some Ron Johnson Arena games and followed Hosack and Mays in NFL Europe boxscores) and it's great for the program to have as many alumni in the NFL as possible.

I know it won't be for a lack of trying. He has a great first step and good quickness. Good Luck Mr. Van De Steeg.
