Looking back at scouting reports, he was a good prospect, but hasnt been healthy enough in years to be able to produce in the NFL. I'm not sure how much he has left after the injuries. He was a good athlete but never a freak. He wasn't a very good blocker.
IF he can stay healthy and IF he hasn't lost much athleticism, then he could be a good fit and a good backup. Don't be surprised if he doesn't make the roster if he's lost anything.
