Any of Our Linebackers Been Invited to NFL Camps?

Submitted by BursleyHall82 on May 18th, 2016 at 1:51 PM

Just checking, because I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. Have any of our graduated linebackers (Desmond Morgan, Joe Bolden, Ross Jenkins-Stone or James Ross) signed as free agents or been invited to an NFL camp? If not, are they out of luck, or does that sort of thing happen all the way through August?

I know for a fact James Ross was invited. Not 100% sure on the others but I feel like one or two others were as well.

It was in the local paper last weekend that Ross had a tryout with the Chargers as well. No report of what happened to him specifically, but another article came out on Monday saying the Chargers signed 3 guys from the tryout and Ross was not included.

Morgan tried out for the Panthers last week. Was said to look"impressive".

I saw on Twitter that Royce Jenkins-Stone got a tryout with the Bears, but I haven't seen that documented anywhere else.

Unfortunately that doesn't mean they get paid as they haven't even made an off season roster. I heard Bolden may have been working on long snapping, which would make him at least worth a tryout IMO, but I haven't really seen much official, likely because these guys haven't signed any contracts.

That's a really interesting idea by Bolden. I approve. Hope it works out.

When you are not likely to be drafted, always have multiple skills to offer . . . long snapper, kicking, cheerleader, groundskeeper, anything to make you of value that they don't have to pay someone else for.

I was so pumped about Bolden, Stone, Ringer, and Ross when they signed. Hard to believe none of them + Morgan have an NFL future in all likelihood.

Hopefully Gedeon and McCray improve that unit this year.

Yeah, I knew a couple had camp invites, but none seem to have stuck. I sort of believed RJS might have had a chance in the right situation, but the rest seemed like uphill battles.
