We made a play for him when he was placed on waivers. Any info on the kind of player he is?

Honestly, I had pretty high hopes that he'd be our starting RT one day. Not sure what went on in the minds of the coaches as far as hit fit with the future of the franchise, but we really didn't get a chance to see him play against live bullets. I don't think anyone expected him to beat out Columbo for the starting job, and well... he didn't. The fact that he didn't/couldn't showed as he was played at Guard at times during training camp and the preseason. As far as his potential, I think that is still a question mark. I can see him being a starter somewhere. He doesn't have quick feet, his strength is average, but he has long arms and is known for having somewhat of a nasty streak of sorts.

A guy who was suppose to be NFL ready coming out...wasn't. The reason he was let go was because he was lineman #11 on our roster and we needed to make room for Brooks. He showed no progression in over a 12 month period with the cowboys...and actually was moved inside to guard this offseason to mask his horrid feet on the outside he showed in TC and preseason last year....big time bust for the dallas cowboys here.
