Chiefs look at a wrestler

As proof they are making an honest effort to find better offensive linemen, the Chiefs worked out a former All-American college wrestler who didn't play football at Kent State or even in high school, for that matter.

He is Jermail Porter, who had a brief trial in camp this year with the Patriots. There are no indications the Chiefs will sign Porter any time soon, but it's possible he could wind up as an off-season developmental project.

They like wrestlers up there. Heck, they'd probably make one the govenor if they had the chance.

Didn't Brock Lesnar play for the Vikings for a time? It's not unheard of that a life-long competitive wrestler could be a developmental prospect for an NFL team.

I find it easy to miss sarcasm in here, because there is so much sincere ignorance, it is hard to discern someone feigning it.

How many more people off the street do we need to get 22?

The practice squad.. your seriously stupid as shit if you think the Chiefs should not do a single thing besides prep for the draft. Thats what our scouting department is for, and we also have guy who look into other areas... trying out guys doesn't hurt the team in any way or get in the way of scouting for the draft.

He was in training camp as a defensive end, but it was a failure. Despite being a physical freak, he couldn't play football.

He sacked a Chiefs QB in the preseason once and started a fight during the annual scrimmage/brawl. That's about all I can remember.

Just relax dildo no need to get your nuts bunched up. I figured the whole first pick in 2010 would clue you in that I was joking. I'll put up road flares next time.

maybe he's trying out the whole "22 guys off the street" thing??

They asked him to go to NFL Europe but he said no. My guess is that this is the sort of developmental interest we have with this person.

Micjones · 10-07-2009, 12:26 PM

Well as long as he had time in the New England camp...

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-07-2009, 12:28 PM

...

A ****ing wrestler?

Shocked that he worked out for the Pats before, as well.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 10-07-2009, 12:34 PM

An honest effort?

Teicher should have the ****ing swine flu forced on him or making such an ignorant comment.

They overlooked the deepest OL draft in years, but they weren't good enough - so we're looking at a wrester that has never played football before?

Shocking that he was in the Pats camp, next up is a Haitian refugee WR who spent a few days in Dolphins camp.

****.

Me.

Running.

Micjones · 10-07-2009, 12:37 PM

No... Next it'll be a 6'4 320 plumber who LIVES in New England.
