Thats awsome

Man what a cinderella story it would be if he did something like catch the game-winning touchdown or something of that nature.

That would be neat.. But my question is, NFL teams have about 1000000 players on the team, why woudl they have to call someone who has been out for two years to come play??

ESPN radio was talking about this yesterday and they said the backup also had an injury and that he was familiar with the system and would be able to step right up and play with the two weeks to prepare.

Yea, he has been playing in the west-coast offense style for a few years, so he's pretty familiar with it. It wouldnt take much for him to learn the small tweaks and changes they have made.
