Warriorspikes51 Posted August 30, 2024 Posted August 30, 2024 (edited) Codrington and/or Virgil could be fairly impactful due to new kickoff format Quite something that Codrington was an undrafted UFA and showed enough value to warrant moving a draft pick for Edited August 30, 2024 by Warriorspikes51 Quote

ExWNYer Posted August 31, 2024 Posted August 31, 2024 On 8/29/2024 at 4:53 AM, Sierra Foothills said: According to Wiki, he's a Buffalo Bill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalen_Virgil Cliff Notes version: Small school (Appalachian State). In his final season, he caught 15 passes for 226 yards (15.1 yards per reception) and one touchdown and returned 26 kickoffs for a school-record 781 yards (30.04 yards per return) and two touchdowns. Was not invited to the combine. Put up impressive numbers during his Pro Day but went undrafted. Was signed by Denver. Made the Broncos' initial 53-man roster out of training camp. On November 13, 2022, Virgil scored a 66-yard touchdown on his first career reception during a 17–10 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Last preseason on August 22, 2023, Virgil was placed on injured reserve (torn meniscus), ending his season. 2022 Highlights (includes preseason): Expand On 8/29/2024 at 3:30 PM, Virgil said: I'm still negotiating by jersey number Expand And somewhere @Gugny went "from 6 to 12"... 1 Quote

Charles Romes Posted August 31, 2024 Posted August 31, 2024 You can see the pressure on the knees with those cuts and that size. Not surprising he’s had a season ending meniscus tear. Those can be difficult to come back from. The surgery means you have less meniscus. Quote
