Dafney was a Sycamore out of Indiana State and went undrafted. He had a decent number of carries, yards and touchdowns in their wildcat packages. Is a H Back TE, which essentially is that FB/TE hybrid role in the MLF system.

Spent some time with the Colts in training camp - signed to our practice squad in October and then elevated to active roster in early December.

Thanks Ty, good stuff.

It appears that our team of scouts is still very good at finding spare parts.

Knee jerk reaction and maybe wrong. But this is the difference between Teddy and Gute. Gute and his staff seem to be constantly looking outside of the organization for ways to improve the Roster. Teddy seemed to comb his own Practice squad a lot more than any other sources. Not saying Teddy did not go outside the organization, but I don't think it was even close to the level that Gute seems to.

Teddy loved undrafted guys, but the late-season additions didn't seem to be as prevalent as what Gutey's doing. Pretty cool to see these guys come in and contribute and the willingness for the organization to give undrafted players a shot.

I think people remember the last couple years and not the bulk of his work.

Ted found not one, but two, excellent CB’s that were undrafted. Pretty dang rare.

 

[GleefulGary]

I wonder how that worked out, GleefulGary???

Not well at all! I figured on Sterny starting.

At least the starting TE for GB did outperform Hooper, I was just wrong on who it was.

 

[GleefulGary]

he has one (1) drop.

I swear I remember multiple BAD drops from him early in the year.

I was referring more to what Gute does during the season. Waiver claims, combing other teams Practice squads, etc. Some have jumped in and talked about UDFA's. I still consider them as original Packer prospects. However, you are correct in the fact that TT seemed to be asleep at the wheel more so in his final years. I got the impression being a GM was more of a hobby for him in those final years.

I don’t think football was ever a hobby for Ted. By all accounts the man worked as hard as anybody. I think he more realized his time was drawing near and so was his 2nd round of a super bowl capable roster in need of replacement. Saw a really good roster repeatedly hampered by injuries in those final seasons and thought it better to keep them together and take chances on injuries evening out than create upheaval he wouldn’t be around to see through.
