When I first read about his tryout I looked him up, found that he was 5'7 1/2", 161 lbs, and immediately dismissed his chances. Then I watched a couple of youtube videos (highlights and pro day interview) where he claims to have run a 4.3/40 and some had him at a 4.2 something / 40 and I must admit, that I became more intrigued.
And while it was just in shorts, I read the following and I'm beginning to believe he might have a real shot to make the roster:

And especially after I looked up Taylor Gabriel of the Falcons and found that he is about the same size.
And this is what Gabriel did last year.

If he makes it, he won't have Julio Jones opposite him, but if he has any other characteristics like Gabriel the Rams may have found a gem with this kid. Some don't want to hear it, but speed kills.
