Would the fact that we keep bringing back nobodies like Reggie Newhouse, Zeke Parker, Jake Soliday, and Nate Poole to camp every year give you the impression that these are great players who have a chance of making the team?
Kerouac:
Newhouse was a UDFA this year. Parker, Soliday and Poole were all available/ known quantities last year, and Kasper started ahead of them.
It's funny. Less than a year ago, Kasper was a second-year guy with the Broncos, one of the league's elite offensive teams, for whom at least some outside observers were predicting stardom. From
ESPN The Magazine's season projections, 9/03/02:
>>If Brian Griese stumbles this year, it won't be because no one was open... Second-year WR Kevin Kasper, a fitness fanatic with good speed and great hands, could be the breakout star--unless rookie WR Ashley Lelie, now recovered from hamstring trouble, beats him to it.<<
After getting hurt--for the second year in a row--and waived, Kasper winds up in Arizona a year later, where his future with one of the league's
worst offenses is being hotly debated.
Like I said, funny.
