easily chad? lol, the guy will be LUCKY to be close to what he was. Jamarcus has a better shot by a mile. Chad is trying to recover from a devastating car wreck that nearly took his leg and something he's been rehabbing for 3 years. Jamarcus is fat.

Also, not to mention, Chad has never played a game in the NFL and really nothing more than a few off season rookie workouts. No one has any idea how good he would have been prior to the accident and no one has a clue at all if he's half as good now. I always laugh when people want him on "insert team" without having any idea of what he can do on the field.

I love chad and would rather him excell than Russell, but get real people. It will take a miracle for Chad to ever make an NFL roster. Jamarcus just needs to work harder than he did before.

Yeah I'm actually going to go left field and say JaMarcus....all he has to do is lose some weight and show that he gives a frick and someone will sign him.

Chad has a very steep uphill battle ahead of him. His comeback has been remarkable though and I hope he gets picked up before JaMarcus.

All of this. That isn't a shot at Jones despite the feeling on this board that saying something good about one player is automatically saying something bad about another. JaMarcus still likely has a cannon. If he suddenly developed work ethic and got into professional athlete shape, then the only thing stopping him from making it in the NFL will be whether or not he actually CAN play in the NFL. That remains to be seen...but with his skill set there is no reason why an NFL team wouldn't take a look if he's in shape and ready to go.

Jones still needs to fully recover from a devastating injury that would have crippled most people.

Good luck to both of our former Tigers!

Pulling for both to do well.

Would love for CJ to make it, because of the work the dreadlocks of doom put in.

Really want JR to make it to prove he is a real tiger.
