Our New FB/3rd RB should be.....

Jorvorskie Lane. This kid is an absolute beast. Since I'm not really into college ball, I never heard of the guy, but I aslo don't recall seeing his name thrown around on Rumblings either. Looks like we could kill 2 birds with one stone with a late pick or sign him as an UDFA. Hell, he might even challenge Hmadam as our 3rd QB! (j/k)

12/19/08 - East-West Shrine Invite: Former Lufkin Panther Jorvorskie Lane and Texas A&M fullback Jorvorskie Lane will get one more shot to impress NFL scouts. Lane, who only ran the ball 35 times for 93 yards and five touchdowns this season, has been invited to play in the East-West Shrine Game at the University of Houston's Robertson Stadium Jan. 17, 2009. The 84th annual contest is set for a 3 p.m. start and will be televised on ESPN2. Lane was moved to fullback fulltime this season after new head coach Mike Sherman took over. Lane and the Aggies did not have much success in Sherman's first season, going 4-8, with a pair of three-game losing streaks. Lane had a productive junior season, rushing 169 times for 780 yards (4.6 average), and scored a Big 12-leading 16 rushing touchdowns. - The Lufkin Daily News

Like I said, I don't know much about the guy, and apparently he might have some weight control issues. I'm curious to hear what you guys may know about him or what your opinions of him are.

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.
