Georgia Football: Is Aaron Murray on the Chopping Block in Kansas City? Checking in on Bulldog Rookies in the NFL

Aaron Murray, Kansas City Chiefs

Looks like Murray still has a lot of work cut out for him.  Arrowhead Pride [1] , the Chiefs’ SBNation portal, indicates he’s still fourth on the depth chart behind Alex Smith, Chase Daniel and Tyler “50 Shades Of” Bray.  To be sure, I think he’ll ultimately supplant Bray.  A third QB needs to be intelligent, reliable and deep in the playbook.  Bray’s skills and bigger arm don’t necessarily overcome the mental edge I anticipate Murray to have by camp’s end.  So, I don’t think he should be worried.

 

Arthur Lynch, Miami Dolphins

Andrew Abramson of the Palm Beach Post, Tweeted this morning that Lynch is benefitting from a slew of tight end injuries at Miami camp.

 

 

Rantavious Wooten, Miami Dolphins

Woot’s journey has come to an end in Miami.  I hope he didn’t find out via Twitter, like I did.

 

 

Garrison Smith, Miami Dolphins

Not a lot of news here, but Smith is making plays at Dolphins camp.

 

 

Isaiah Crowell, Cleveland Browns

The one-time Bulldog remains a factor at Browns camp.  Per Jared Mueller of Dawg Pound Daily, Crowell has a nice shot at making the final 53-man roster:

A lock is a strong statement yet if you watch some of his tape from college, not just highlight films, you see a player who could dominate on the next level. The Zone Blocking Scheme brought in by Kyle Shanahan should also benefit Crowell’s style and quick feet. His burst after a cut will be a huge benefit.

With Tate’s injury history, and short contract, it is possible that the Browns have their backfield of the (near) future in West and Crowell. Besides injuries, Crowell has to show that he can maintain himself off the field. Gordon’s example could help him understand the severity of consequences yet for many that is not enough. Crowell has to have affirmative goals he is seeking to achieve. Competition with Tate and West will be a great test for him.

 

That’s all I got/
