I'm really glad he's getting a shot. I think he'll impress enough to at least make a practice squad. Give 'em 'ell Chad!!


Can't make up my mind as to which is better - 55-21 or 48-14.

His first test will be making it out of the Bucs rookie minicamp with an invite to training camp. So he is currently getting a shot at a potential invite to training camp.

The odds are not stacked in his favor, but Mr Newell is a big time gamer. We are all rooting for you Chad, give em Hell!

You can't measure heart or effort. When they see it, they'll never let him go.

According to the Gazette article I just read this morning, he also has an invite to Seahawks mini camp. This week with the Bucs, next week with the Seahawks if he doesn't get a training camp invite from Tampa.

I'm to lazy to look it up, does he get paid for a mini camp invite or is this out of his own pocket?

Sounds like they are out of their own pocket as no contract is signed unless they get a camp invite. In the article he said something along the lines of I'm not in it for the money I just want to play the game.

This is a good article that explains some of the differences and pay's that they get. The article is a few years old, but I'm sure everything is still fairly accurate.

Seahawks Rookie Mini-Camp roster: http://www.seahawks.com/news/2017/05/12 ... amp-roster
Looks like Chad will be #35. In my opinion this is Chad's best chance at making an NFL roster. Good luck Chad! Give it all you got!

SPARQ= Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction, Quickness

He can pass block, and play special teams! Should be a roster spot somewhere!
