The signing of Woodrum would seem to indicate that the Colts weren't overly impressed by the performance of any of the tryout quarterbacks the team had in during rookie mini-camp this past weekend. Massachusetts' Blake Frohnapfel, Southern Utah's Ammon Olsen, and Florida State's Everett Golson were the quarterbacks invited by the Colts on a tryout basis, but it appears as if none of them impressed enough to be signed. Woodrum joins Andrew Luck, Scott Tolzien, and Stephen Morris as the quarterbacks on the Colts roster.http://www.stampedeblue.com/2016/5/10/1 ... -mcfarland

I find it interesting that he thought it necessary to put on weight last summer and made mention that he thought the extra bulk helped him withstand some hard hits last year. Then he slims down to be more mobile for his NFL tryouts. IMHO we would have benefited from a more mobile QB last year. Priorities?It was recently reported in one of Damien's articles that he had put the weight on due to the injury the previous season. But I thought when I read that that he had said he put it on intentionally while working with Coach Gillespie. I wonder which is the real reason for the weight gain. It definitely hurt his mobility.

In 20/20 hindsight it would be easy to speculate as to whether he was more concerned with getting through his Senior year without injury than how effective he would be as Liberty's QB. It was easy to see he was slowed by the weight and less effective as a runner. We basically had to ditch the option, something which was very effective for us at times his Junior year.olldflame wrote:Man, he looks skinny in that picture.

I actually suspect it had more to do with the guy they signed to replace him, BJ Daniels, athletic former S Florida QB who has also played some WR.flameshaw wrote:More than likely, they watched him throw a few long passes to a wide open receiver, that were under thrown or overthrown by 4-5 yards.I think they would have had to watch his LU game video to see that. He reportedly threw really well in the 2 days he was there.

He's been around a bit, but I would say he is too young and athletic to qualify as a journeyman. He was definately a better college player than Woodrum.

is all the interest the Giants showed in him plus the financial commitment. Add to that the apparent solid on field showing he had and you have to wonder what happened. Heck your starting RB probably even had a good thing or two to add. It has to be more than a WR/QB player they could have picked up at anytimePurple Haize wrote:The coltsWay to break the story Jimmy Olsen
