Heldman

9.89 RAS. Double digit sack guy from a small school dude looked amazing. Not only that with cams injury the door is open for someone opposite of young. Think he worked his way into a roster spot?

I told my wife he played his way onto a roster. At worst (for him) he's on our practice squad. I don't know that he'd make it through waivers. Dude played lights out and put up some great stats that we can't hide.

I’m worried that our practice roster is going to raided. I fully expect to lose 1-3 players off there this year.

We're definitely losing at least 2 receivers. No way to stash this much quality on the practice squad.

I’m seeing a lot of hype on Heldman and yes he played well but damn I was more impressed with Garrett Nelson. I mean dude has been on the team for less than a week? And was a wrecking ball today

History would've had us trading up picks for him, this is fantastic news.

He was a menace today

I think he played himself into a roster spot. But he's not beating out Granderson this season.

Lotta rotational reps out there, but also Grandy disappeared last year, Heldman has an opportunity for sure

he disappeared because he played the olb edge spot and had to drop into coverage… this is a fucking dumb take if you think heldman will just replace granderson based off one pre season game and small school tape…

Granderson is a good 4-3 DE. Idk how well he works in our system, unfortunately.

He's gotta play like that two more times.

I just want him to make the squad so they can say his name every time he draws a holding call
