Chad Kackert, RB New Hampshire, signs FA contract with Jaguars.
Congrats, but... ugh. No chance he'll ever play for them.

<div>I saw Hines Ward at a baseball card show. He was average sized, and he's regarded as maybe the toughest wide receiver in the NFL.</div>

<div>Saw a bunch of black Steelers once at a club. Very unimposing physically, other than the 400 pound blubberball Casey Hampton. RB Duce Staley was short and chubby, the d-backs were short and scrawny. Certainly didn't look like the "world's best athletes" to me. Or does that honor go to black NBA players?</div>
celticdb15 said:One white drafted for the Packers. They started off the draft good but quickly back tracked to cover their butts. I can't believe Mariani and Toone were drafted over Blair White and McGaha. Go figure, neither of them attended the combine but were picked ahead of guys who went to Arizona State and Michigan State? Someone mentioned before that the NFL deliberately cuts out the best white players and signs lesser known\skilled white players on purpose. It may have some truth..

<div>Hopefully some of our guys can catch on as UDFA, if they want to play in this league they'll have to be persistent as hell and go through a lot of highs and lows. </div>

and as a third-down back in long yardage situations. He'll go there on
Friday for a mini-camp next weekend."Again, if Kackert was black and ran a 4.31, he would've been drafted.
Toby Hillis said:To be fair to ol' Porky Reid, he did draft Jeremy Bloom one year(didnt give him much of a chance to develop, but he did draft him), signed Kevin Curtis, drafted Riley Cooper, and signed 3 FA WRs.
<div>Thats6 more whiteWRs than 90% of the NFL teams are willing to sign...</div>
<div>
But he does LOOOOOVE his black, sumo lineman, let me tell you!!!</div>
<div></div>
<div>Blair White, Im sure, had a lot of FA offers. Even the Caste pundits were suprised he wasnt drafted. He probably figured his best shot was with Colts, who have a relatively white friendly offense. If he doesnt catch on there, he ll get a "chance"(AKA5th WR/WSTD)somewhere I bet</div>
