Posted June 1, 20204 yr I took a look at the Eagles roster and to my surprise I saw Adrian Killings.........dude is a very special player. He's tiny but it won't matter if they make him the slot receiver, he'll be total fear for any LB, Corner or Safety assigned to cover him.

We have real wide receivers that should be considered before a tiny rb. Yep, just realizing. I'm not saying he couldn't be effective as a RB but at 165lbs I think the slot for him in the NFL, there's a lot you can do from the slot.
June 1, 20204 yr If he can demonstrate the ability to return kicks, I think he has a chance to make the team. If he shows the ability to return punts as well, then he should be a lock to make the team. His speed is elite. He could actually be the fastest player on the team and that’s saying a lot after who we added in free agency and through the draft. If he makes the team as a kickoff/punt returner and shows that he can stay healthy, then maybe start working him in for certain plays, etc.

Carl Lewis and Usain Both were fast but if you ever watched their races you never saw them lead the race from start to finish, as a matter of fact, they rarely had the lead midway through the race. The thing I saw with from Killins is he's both fast and quick, this mean he sees a lot of open field. Nor only that, coming out of HS he was benching 265lbs and squatting 365lbs, that's from a 165lb 12th grader so I'm sure he's stronger now. If the Eagles offense isn't top 3, every offensive coach should be shown the door.
June 1, 20204 yr He gets to tryout at Sproles' position. "Third-down" RB and KR/PR. Hopefully he can turn out to be everything Pumphrey was not.

June 1, 20204 yr He's definitely got the speed and play making ability no doubt. He could potentially contribute on ST so he has a chance but he's so slight I mean that's got to be a worry? Can he take the hits?

June 1, 20204 yr Can't believe I'm the first one to say this. Is Adrian Killings related to Alshon Jeffries, Javon Hargraves, and Theo Ratcliffe.

LOL I was just about to post the question "who is Adrian Killings" - is there a bunch of Adrians getting killed on the Eagles roster? For those slow to catch on ... Adrian Killins (no g) Alshon Jeffery (ery not rey or ries) Javon Hargrave (no s) Theo Ratliff (no c)

Just because Mosert played well in SF doesnt mean he would have had success here. Players susccess or fails is all based on the coaching staff, play designs and over all scheme. Its exactly why a player is great on one team then goes to another and sucks. Or the oppt. We will see if Killings makes the team soon enough. I have a feeling hes going to be a PS guy but could get a shot mid season after a injury.
June 1, 20204 yr I would love to find a way to keep him around, but I have a feeling he inst going to make it on the roster (or make it through waivers)

There are many factors involved in the success of a player but I think the most important factor are teammates. Mosert was a 4.2 guy that had good vision, I believe it was that dumb arse Chip Kelly that cut him. Unfortunately there's a lot of ignorance at the coaching level in the NFL, that's why I SMH when I hear clown posters post, "he's an NFL coach, I trust him over you".

So true. which is why mega $$$ free agents need to be carefully evaluated.

He'll be just like any other play maker......just get the ball in his hands. Moreover, you don't want to regulate him to STs, put him on the field fulltime, in the slot, no one will be able to cover him because they won't be quick or fast enough to do so.

June 2, 20204 yr How is his catching the ball? He needs to have the ball before he can turn on the jet to return kicks.
