McCready caught 182 passes for 2,079 yards (11.4 avg.) with nine touchdowns during his time in Europe, ranking second in NFLEL history in both receptions and receiving yards. McCready spent portions of the 2001 and 2002 seasons as a member of New England’s practice squad and won a Super Bowl ring. The London, England native appeared in every game during his two seasons at South Florida. He tallied 37 receptions for 517 yards (14.0 avg.) with six scores as a senior. McCready began his collegiate career at Louisiana Tech, spending two seasons with the Bulldogs. He attended King High School in Tampa, Florida as a junior and senior, earning all-district and all-conference honors.

We're saved now.
A 5-year veteran NFLE receiver is just what we needed. |

I'd rather see McCready stick on the 53-man roster than some project. We've got enough of those who will be forced to act as #3 and #4 receivers -- McCready's a stable guy who will make tough catches and should be able to contribute.

Sorry if I can't get excited about a WR who has spent 5 years in NFLE. |

Doesn't the NFL allow additional practice squad spots for NFLE players?
