I don't get it. Most of you guys keep cracking jokes about Al's love for fast guys yet you want this Reece guy to be place on the practice sqad because he is big and fast and has a nice Youtube highlight video. You do realize that the practice squad is limited to 8 players? That leaves room for only 1-2 WRs. What about the other receivers that are eligible for the practice squad guys like Will Buchannon, Holland, Drisan James, Chaz Schilens, Todd Watkins, Chris McFoy (not sure if he would be eligible). If i find cool youtube videos of those guys will you get all excited over them too?

Here is one of Holland. What a play! He should be a starter!

So true! This guy is a lock! LOL

It wasn't your comment that pissed me off, in fact I'm not even pissed off. I'm just a little confused. I appreciate the discussion though. It's the differing opinions that make this site so lively, even in the offseason.

IMHO: McFoy and Buchannon are both scrubs, Holland has durability issues, Drisan is intriguing, Schilens is a good developmental prospect, and Todd Watkins is another scrub.

But if you have exciting Youtube footage on any of these guys, by all means, post it.

I understand highlight packages only accentuate the positive, but that does not make them completely valueless. Big man runs fast, and a lot of us never heard of him, so this is an introduction. So, the enthusiasm some of express? It's wishful thinking, sure, but nothing too absurd, I don't think.

This guy has all the intangibles that Al likes. He's big, he's fast and he looks like a physical specimen.

It will be interesting to see if he latches on with the Raiders or with the practice squad.
