30 teams scouts were on hand to watch other players at regional combine where Moritz Boehringer went to. He is a German who plays American Football in Germany. Not a lot of film or time but he has stats which would make him a good WR or TE and is worth a late round pick as long as they are committed to doing language translations for him (he does speak English) and getting him to work during off season with some pro trainers.

Dude is huge and flys but the level of competition out there is probably next to nothing. Worth a late round pick but I would think he'd need to sit on a practice squad for a cpl of years and hone his craft. I did read he did well against press coverage, which is encouraging, since they don't do that in Germany. Either way he does seem like a freak athlete.

From what I have read he may need work as WR (routes, defenses) but he might be able to contribute on special teams. The key thing is will he have enough hands on training but since he is spending time in one of the pro training places I am guessing he will get up to speed fast.

Regarding that - Internationally games, I think the NFL should try International games first week of season giving teams extra time maybe even playing game on Saturday so more time after game for transition.

That is some serious interest when 8 of 32 teams want an unknown player to come visit. Hope he gets to keep the frequent flier miles.

 


By the time Boehringer ran the 40-yard-dash, hand-timed on grass at between 4.43 and 4.5 seconds, Chiefs GM John Dorsey was on the phone with Boehringer’s agent, asking to set up a pre-draft visit in Kansas City. Teams only get 30 such visits with prospects who aren’t from their local area, and eight teams have allotted one of these visits to this largely unknown 22-year-old.

The Patriots were among the teams showing the most interest.

At least a 6th rd so far. Have to sit him a year to develop. WNY has a big German-American population who would make him very welcome.

 

Heck draft Jaylon Smith also to sit for a year , build for the future.

 

One mock has Miami taking J. Smith at 42

I like it. Germans have a very intimidating language, and usually scream when they talk.

 

Not to mention, the 'Hitler reacts to the Bills drafting Moritz Boehringer' video will be classic!

"Hitler reacts to Fred Jackson being cut" will never be surpassed.

 

a little young, bro

She's 19. We get her on the steroid program, she'll be ready.
