Welcome from the XFL, OT Storm Norton and TE Donald Parham Jr

[Pointyearedog]

They need to keep him around simply based on his name. A dude named Storm, wearing lightning bolts? Yes please...:thumbsup:

Yeah, but on the back his name will be Norton...

[PR#1]

I’m gonna guess we don’t take a LT in the draft anymore.

This is correct.

A backup or competition to Pipkins.

Its a good thing we have a mobile QB.

[Heatmiser]

He actually has some skills and brings a little nastiness to the field with him. Just always going to have a problem with anchoring and leverage due to his height. That has been his problem in the past at least. Might be a good swing backup.

This is a camp body/tryout guy. This type of signing means nothing to who we draft. I’m sure his contract, like many others, is not guaranteed and will count nada against the CAP if a TC cut.

Telesco grinding.
welcome Storm “the anti-virus” Norton?

I'm no Topcat that’s for sure.

Yeah, but on the back his name will be Norton...

But think of the commentators and the fun they'll have.

[ChargingBolts]

I say we pair XFL'er Storm Norton & XFL'er Donald Parham both at Tight End, both 6'8" and post up every DB!!

[Boltjolt]

Once you realize what the XFL was, it isn't that exciting. Teams miss on players all the time whether they thought too much or too little of a player. Don't think this stops us from getting a OT in the draft but if we do it might stop Stormin from making the team.

However....... Let's hope he can be better than Scott or Tevi. That would be an upgrade.

[blueman]

Competition for the last roster spot.

[Boltnut]

They just Face Timed today with Mekhi Becton OT from Louisville, not sure if that was before the signing

They just wanted to know if Mekhi and Storm'n could car pool together out to Cali. They could meet in Cinci and Mekhi could push them along the I-70 in his pickup.... Hey, someone has to steer...

[WindsorUK]

Interesting to hear the kid say he wasn't the strongest guy but competes with angles/ football knowledge.
As a Tackle at the highest level, is that do-able? These days, edge rushers get low and try to get wide, is strength more important than kick slide, fluid hips, angles?
Obviously on run downs an OT has to get push but in a predominantly passing league, can he manage?

The Trenchers are so proud of you.

Interesting that PFF grades are dismissed here.

Sometimes Olinemen take a year or two to develop.

Irv Eatman was an USFLer you know.
