Good....he seems to be getting a lot of buzz from media, coaches, and players alike that he is going to be a big factor for them next season. Can't wait to see him run over his first of many DB's and or LB's

I got Jermaine in the 20th round of my fantasy draft with the very last pick (#280). He's my 3rd TE, after Vernon Davis and Fred Davis. I'll be shocked if I don't win the award for the biggest steal of the draft next year.

He'll be better than both of those guys in a couple of years...

If his knees hold up.

If his knee issues are what I have heard they are from more than one scout, This is a big if...Glad he got that 9 mil guaranteed though

Didn't I hear that the cartilidge is all but gone in his knees? There really isn't a fix for that and bone on bone rubbing is not comfortable. (In either case)

Sooners in Sunday's Hall of Fame game (at least according to Cowboy and Bengal rosters online)

Manny Johnson, WR (Cowboys)
Jermaine, TE (Bengals)
REAL Roy Williams, SS (Bengals)

I should note that there will also be a fake Roy Williams on Dallas' side. Please disregard this big fat phony.

It doesn't matter. After spending a season with TO and Chad he's gonna be another idiot like Shockey.

Nope. Kid's got a good head on his shoulders and a wonderful support system back home.

Whoa. Weren't you the one who called him lazy, big fish little pond, airheaded and a bunch of other negative stuff when he was being recruited by OU?

Certainly not air-headed. I said he didn't have great hands (they obviously improved a ton), couldn't block and had not received a lick of decent coaching his entire high school career.

But I've gotten to know the kid pretty well over the last few years and he's just a REALLY good kid. REALLY good. He'll do great up there provided his body can take the toll.

The Bengals want him to slim down to 260. Can you imagine? DOWN to 260. Good grief.

How can he have no cartlidge in his knee's? - he had one injury. Runs a 4-7.

Good for him. He deserves all of the upcoming hype and success that he is going to get. I see him being the next Vernon Davis v.2.

I still hate the fact he's going to be playing with the 2 biggest knuckleheads currently in the NFL.

Don't forget about Pacman, he'll keep 'em all in line.

Durrrrrr... the guy that pouted a lot because the coach benched him to whip him into shape out in San Fran :confused:

I'd rather have Gresh aspire to be like Harold Carmichael of the Eagles. I never have been a Philly fan but that man had a great TE body and played with an even bigger heart.

I'm not sure I'd compare Gresham to Davis. Davis is a complete physical freak of nature. Definitely faster and probably stronger than Gresham, and arguably one of the best athletes in the NFL. He's also developed into a top 3 receiving TE in the league.

Gresham has great hands and is a bigger target than Davis. I'm hoping that Tony Gonzalez would be a better comparison for him if he reaches his potential and stays healthy.
