It's been a TD news link for the second day in a row now I believe.

Despite accumulating less than 300 rushing yards & being sacked 43 times in his two-year career at LSU, there are a few people on the board who claims he is a mobile QB.

He's got a good pocket presence if there is no pressure & hit footwork was rough while at LSU, however, I have no doubt that a coaching staff like the Patriots' will be able to get some use out of him.

I always thought his movement in the pocket was excellent. Maybe that is because he followed Harris.

I think the better question for Etling is...is he that big?

I'd imagine they would look at him more as a possession receiver, not a burner, so will he be able to cross the middle of the field or turn and sit 5-10 yards off the line and take big hits from LB's and safeties?

Patriots trying to find Edelman 2.0 by converting aanother qb to a wr. They apparently really like Etling and looking to get him a roster spot to justify keeping him around.

I will laugh if he makes it into the rotation for slot receiver. It'll be just another reason to solidify Belichick as the goat.

Realistically?

What are you talking about? Taysom Hill is one of the most athletic players in the NFL. Danny Etling....is Danny Etling.

Belechik was obviously staying up late watching film and saw that 80 yard run last preseason.

For the most part Bill has built his success in having Tom Brady and taking chances on guys that the rest of the league stays away from because they have “deficiencies” like being white and playing the WR position. He is basically the moneyball A’s of football.
