Good for the young man.  Hopefully he can make a success of the opportunity.  Did he sign as an RB or TE?

Well, he certainly wasn't lightning.

He's extremely flatulent.

Concessions.

Oakland must have needed a project DE edge rusher

No burst and would run directly into the OL instead of attempting to go around them.

"Damn it! No holes on this side of the line either!"

Best of luck to him, hope he does well there.

No that’s Jackson Jeffcoat, allegedly.

Well good luck to him - didn't seem like a bad dude at all - but I don't have my hopes up

I know there are many player who were relatively unknown in college but went on to great NFL success, but are there any other players who have had such a similar, underwhelming college career who have gone on to great NFL success? 

Tom Brady didn't have nearly as many rushing yards as Chris Warren when he was in college. And neither did Lyle Alzado, now that I think of it. So there are precedents.

If he stays healthy, that offensive line is going to get tired from pushing him forward for whatever yards he gets.

Do they sell tailored jerseys?

 

Where can a guy pick up one of those  real tailored jerseys cheap?

Hook ‘em Chris. Going to be a hell of a ride for him the next 3 months before he gets waived from the practice squad.

Good luck to him.  I don't think Oakland plays Tech this year, though.

Who knows.  Maybe he and DeAndré can rekindle their 2015 Thanksgiving rush fest.

Terrell Davis. And Priest Holmes barely cracked 1000 yards in his career at UT.

If you watch Priest vs UNC in the Sun Bowl, there is no question that if he could stay healthy, he would be good.

CW III is the opposite kind of player... but he still was injured some.

Priest was great when he was healthy even in college and won me a fantasy football championship, so he's on a different level, as far as I'm concerned.

Good luck to him.. hope he pans out.. but i think if he's going to, he's going to need to learn to hit someone on special teams or pick up the TE stuff quickly.. having a year as a TE at Texas would have been good for him and I think for us.

I read a couple of days ago that Warren is expected to make the team or at least the PS.  They like his ability to do multiple things.  Good luck to him.  Chase that dream....

Ooooh, you sooo bad!

I did laugh everso much.

Good luck to him.

Good for Warren. Maybe someone finally let him know he’s big and he should use his body. Or maybe he finally decided to quit playing like a pussy.

I hope so.

Well, he has the chance to break in the new stadium in Las Vegas next season...

Would love to see him do well. He coulda been a beast in college but ended up as a “what could have been.”  Reading the local East Bays newspaper article about him today seems like the Raiders are pretty high on his potential and Marshawn Lynch couldn’t believe he wasn’t drafted. The revelation responsible for his sudden change of fortune - he was instructed by Raider coaches to hit the hole with his head/shoulders down preparing for contact!  Amazing!  I dont believe for a second that he wasn’t told to run with a lower center of gravity. He’s just a guy who needs a hole to get a head of steam (unlike Foreman who could run into a stacked line and come out the other side with 5 yards).  Hope he gets a chance to be successful. Hook ‘em CWIII

He did a good job catching passes out of the backfield.

Big guys that can move a little and catch passes are gonna get a shot.
