Combine BS

The guy was a complete misfit for 3-4 years headed to Canada and then snuck on a roster..

Guy worked his ass off to get on a roster then proved he deserved it-you're hardly sneaking if you get yourself on a reality TV program, play well in other leagues, etc.

Your'e hardly sneaking in if you take a route that no one else has ever taken to get into the NFL? Even after his reality show he got few sniffs. This was his 3rd of 4th chance.

No two people have EVER taken the same route into the NFL (different schools, different draft status, starting off in different leagues, yada, yada, yada) so I guess that means everybody sneaks in. I'm thinking sneaking in is coming to camp uninvited, stealing a practice uni and then playing so well they can't have you arrested and must hire you. Or dating the owner's daughter and having the owner force the coach to give you a tryout.

Almost everyone comes in through the draft or the free agent signing period directly following the draft. There are a handfull of guys who came from Canada in the entire league.

KGun...sorry...I had a Tom Cole moment...Kamar Jorden's chances will improve or disappear depending on his 40 time at pro day. He has decent size...run a 4.5 40 and he'll get a long look. Run a 4.6 and he'll be suiting up for the Roughriders up in Sasketchewan.

Bojicic's chances are hindered by his size and helped by his versatility.

Don't see either getting drafted...

Magner was doing fine in Atlanta until he muffed a punt and dropped a ball because it looked like he didn't want to get hit....he did great in the arena league though.

Yeah Cole made those errors on a national tv exhibition game.

And they all had different parents, different, coaches, different everything- hence different routes. My point is NOBODY sneaks in. The NFL spends more time analyzing players than probably any other major league sport-guys don't just show up and start playing one day.

Cole Manger was a player that could have caught a few breaks and made it for a few years in the NFL. I believe he was as good, maybe better, than Doug Groth who caught on for a few years. Cole could have become a "media darling" easily with above mentioned breaks.

If Julian Edelman (Kent State QB) can play in the NFL as a receiver/return man/defensive back, then Cole could have played with the right circumstances.
