A surprising player at the Pats Rookie Camp this weekend was Jermail Porter from Kent State. The camp includes all their draft picks draft and various undrafted players invited to participate in a tryout. What makes Porter unique is that he never played football in high School or college.
Like Stephen Neal, he was a wrestler. Neal has carved out an eight year NFL career so far. Porter wrestled during his four years at Kent State and finished 6th in the NCAA championships last season.
At 6' 5"' and 301 pounds, he is being looked at on the offensive line. Coach Belichick talked about him during his press conference Friday. Porter possess enough attributes and skills to have gotten him this far.
Who knows how this will work out? It remains to be seen whether he gets an invitation to training camp in July. Right now it's an interesting story. I have a feeling this might work.
