Official news for Mike, Chris, B.J., Dominique, and Brandon. Congrats. http://www.libertyflames.com/index.cfm? ... um=twitter

Five of Liberty's former football players will have the chance to showcase their talents at the professional level, with two signing free agent contracts and three others receiving mini camp invitations.

Wide receivers B.J. Hayes and Chris Summers have signed free agent contracts, while quarterback Mike Brown, tight end Dominique Jones and defensive back Brandon Robinson have been invited to NFL mini camps.

Summers peaked as a junior in 2010, catching 15 touchdowns on his way to winning the College Football Performance Award as the best wide receiver at the FCS (formerly Division I-AA) level.

Like most lanky receivers, his weaknesses are a lack of quick get-off at the line of scrimmage and a lack of suddenness in his breaks.

He does, though, have sure hands and a huge catch radius. His my-ball mentality comes from his basketball experience, including one year on the team at Liberty.

[jcmanson]

Yeah, it sounds like Chris has a legit shot to make the team.

Any word on MB? Is he playing WR or secondary?

He certainly lacked the 'my-ball' mentality last season

Listed as a WR here: http://www.jaguars.com/team/roster.html

12 Brown, Mike WR 5-10 205 23 R Liberty

I posted this a while back: http://www.jaguars.com/news/article-Jag ... 1af35975c2

Brown, who passed for 6,072 yards at Liberty, played receiver his first two seasons at the school, catching 60 passes for 698 yards and two touchdowns as a sophomore and 19 for 331 yards and one touchdown as a freshman. Still, two seasons had passed since he played receiver.

“The toughest thing was learning, then trying to go out and run the routes the way coach had explained them,” Brown said. “I went down there with a mindset of, ‘I don’t want to get sent home.’ I was going to come down there, leave it all on the table. I felt like I had something to prove.”

I can't see MJD’s leverage. If he stays away into the regular season -- and I don't expect he will -- he will start losing pieces of his $4.45 million base salary. The Jaguars won't waver and would be content handing the ball to Rashad Jennings, who I bet would fare OK.

Nice mention for Chris Summers

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/06/13/ ... pth-chart/

The last wide receiver spot will be interesting. Dane Sanzenbacher, Devin Thomas and Joe Anderson are battling for that spot right now, but my dark horse is undrafted rookie Chris Summers from Liberty. He’s 6-5 and has looked good so far.

Chris summers/Liberty getting some recognition from the NC state game.

Latest news from Espn Chicago, Chris Summers has been waived in order to trim down the roster to 75 players by Monday at 4pm


Such a bummer, hope someone else picks him up. Maybe to fill an injury?

[Sly Fox]

At last check, Dominique still is alive in Indy.

[Rooster Cogburn]

Praying and hoping Mike Brown makes it today.

[FlamesBeBallin]

I'd say Chris is a shoe in for a practice squad roster.

[Rooster Cogburn]

From Tweets I just saw from Jaguarsinsider, it looks like Mike made it.

[Sly Fox]

He certainly has a fan in his position coach. That couldn't hurt. I'm anxious to see how the other guys fare in the next week or so.

From the looks of it Mike Brown is still listed on Jacksonville's roster as of this morning, and they finished their final cuts yesterday

[LUconn]

Final cuts of this round. They're at 75 and still have to get to 53 by August 31.

My prediction is that Mike gets cut on Friday and then signed onto the practice squad immediately afterward.

[LUconn]

Summers has worked out for the Vikings who are looking for some WR depth ironically because of Jerome Simpson's suspension

[Rooster Cogburn]

Cool, praying for Mike today too!

Huh...a former Flame possibly getting a roster spot because of a former Chanticleer...imagine that?

Interesting that Hightower got the boot.

[NotAJerry]

Interesting that Hightower got the boot.

Even more interesting that they're looking to trade Anthony Armstrong for Steve Slaton while keeping the 3 young RBs.

[Sly Fox]

How many people thought Dominique Jones had a shot at making an NFL roster as the final cuts were being considered? His TD the other night certainly has helped his case.

[NotAJerry]

9 cuts so far in Jacksonville and none of them is named Mike Brown. It really is starting to look like he's a lock for a practice squad spot at least.

[BJWilliams]

Looks like both Mike and Dominique made their 53 man rosters...
