MisChief-Maker 135 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I remember someone mentioning this kid's name on twitter but I never thought much of it. But as I was browsing over the guys we've signed on futures contracts, I decided to take a closer look at him. The player in question is former Bears slot receiver Daniel Braverman. Now, he's 24 years old and was drafted in the seventh round In the 2016 draft. He played three games before being let go, "Big deal", right? And the fact that he couldn't make it at Chicago also doesn't fill anyone with high hopes either. BUT, when one watches his film it's really quite staggering how much he looks like those typical Patriots slot receivers. I mean, he really couldn't look more like the likes of Amendola and Edelman If he tried. What I see is a very quick guy with good hands and the ability to evade tackles and get extra yards. He's also devastating In one on one matches-up In the redzone as well. I honestly think this kid has enough talent that If he impresses during pre-season he could very well end up getting a spot on the roster. And it's funny because when you think of some of the best Slot receivers in recent times In Amendola and Welker, both were released by the first teams they joined too (In Danny's case he got let go by The Cowboys and Philly before finding a home with the rams), so this kind of thing has happened before to slot guys like Braverman. I just can't help but think of the mayhem he could cause down the middle with the likes of Hill and Watkins on the outside!!!..oh man. Is a video of his college stuff. I really hope he does well this pre-season as someone like this could be very productive In our new offense imo. And If we don't take him, it's almost guaranteed that he will be seen at Gillette Stadium next season . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The guy was cut from the worst WR corps in the NFL. Probably a camp body and hopefully something more but no need to get excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balto 723 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I get it...He’s white and a receiver so he is the next Welker/Amendola? Sorry man I just don’t see the comparison besides being white. Welker was a million times better at route running and was not only a slot guy but a all purpose freak in total yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reesebobby 5,663 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I like him because he is white and probably stands for the Star Spangled Banner. I don't care about talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiefsGuyInRI 0 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 So your saying we can flip him to the Pats for a 1st Rd pick!? Sign me up! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 my God, do you ever stop? For real. When theres no news some people try and make some up to fill time. This dude will probably be fortunate to make it out if the first round of cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welker was a million times better at route running and was not only a slot guy but a all purpose freak in total yards. Reminds me more of Edelman. I’m still waiting on legendary RBs Jesse Haynes and Brian Shay to emerge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisChief-Maker 135 Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 thats funny but I'd let it lay..thats really pushing it Is it really "funny" though? Remember the term "race baiter" that some folks like to spew around here? Please deal with these suckers accordingly instead of giving him a nice little pat on the back. Because If I would have said something similar we all know what the reaction would have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a camp body and hopefully something more but no need to get excited. Did you read the entire OP? I'm guessing you didn't. Amendola was cut from both Philly and the Cowboys, Welker was also cut too. Imo this guy has great speed, catches the ball very well and his route running Isn't too bad either. And let's be honest, who has the bears had at QB in recent years? He was there before Tribisky arrived so he was playing with pure garbage.

Sorry man I just don’t see the comparison besides being white. Welker was a million times better at route running and was not only a slot guy but a all purpose freak in total yards. Well the comparison is he is only 5'10 like those guys, quite thin, fast as hell and plays on the slot. No-one mentioned his race until you did. But anyway, I just think his style could really thrive in the system Andy is trying to put into place here. The kid is blazing quick and his reliable hands. He's everything the Pats look for In a slot guy and If our coaches have anything about them they will be able to bring out the best In this kid. Oh, and this kid has a 1000 yard/13 TD season In his last year in college, so he can do more than just be a slot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you bringing race up? I compared him to Welker and Amendola because both were cut by their first teams as well just like this guy, but I guess that doesn't fit your agenda, does it?
