Football Jumbo Packages - Page 2

Direckshun · 05-01-2008, 10:00 PM

I've been reading the very few limited sources there are out there about Merritt, our 12th and final pick of the NFL Draft.

The guy, all sources acknowledge, has no role downfield. He registered less than 20 catches in his entire career at a Div I-AA school or whatever Central Florida is.

But he does have value in what's called a "jumbo package."

Considering that Herm's trumpeted Merritt's "unbelievable" blocking abilities, I assume that if Merritt makes this team, it's as a blocker in a "jumbo package."

Well, that's good and everything.

But the football n00b in me isn't terribly familiar with what jumbo packages are.

Can anybody here disabuse me of my ignorance?

So you don't even know what a jumbo package is, but you thought you had enough football knowledge to give KC's Draft a C grade?
