Honestly feel better about Cannon than Kerryon.

Overview

Tremendously explosive change-of-pace runner who will need to live in the cafeteria and the weight room early on to help build his frame up to NFL standards. Cannon has juice for days and that big-play ability in space will be very appealing to teams as a likely undrafted free agent. Cannon can catch it and has a history of handling kick return duties when needed so that may be enough to help him find a practice squad this season.

Strengths
Explosive athlete with breakaway potential. Posted 38.5-inch vertical leap and 10-foot-9 broad jump. Ran 4.40-second 40-yard dash with electrifying 1.49 10-yard split. Gets to top gear immediately to pull away from defenders when racing around the corner. Loose hips with lateral agility to make sharp, late cuts to avoid tacklers who are on top of him. Homerun ability with 35 rushing touchdowns over the last two seasons. Offers special teams potential with three kick returns for touchdowns during career.

Weaknesses
Smallish back at just 185 pounds. Lacks frame for anything more than a change-of-pace role. Unable to push through contact to break tackles and add to his yardage after contact. Will get too far along into the run and ends up limiting his backside options.

Well the strengths section definitely fits what we do as long as he has the vision and patience to find the lane

also, championship
Dare i say that this guy should be easy to fire.
Is this the same Trenton Cannon that the Jets drafted? Or am I mistaken? Just an extra back no big deal, not sure why people get so upset, there aren't many, if any, good players left out there, plus we're cap strapped.
