    I just saw that Ross Uglem tweeted that Dexter Werner is also training for pro day.

    Dex would make a good TE.

    He should have played football the whole time.

    His dad would make a good DT.

    This will be interesting to see if he catches on somewhere.

    Based on what?

    Antonio Gates was a college basketball player who never played a down of college football and is one of the greatest TEs in NFL history. Last year Rico Gathers was drafted in the 6th round out of Baylor by the Cowboys after playing college basketball his entire college career. There was even a guy from SDSU a few years back whose name escapes me who played college basketball for 4 years but never redshirted so he played football his 5th year and ending up getting either a training camp or rookie camp invite with an NFL team. It's not like Dex is a sure-fire prospect by any means but he has the measurables and the athletic ability to open some eyes.

    If he works out well I think it's easily within the realm of possibility that he gets invited to a rookie camp based on those physical tools. A lot of college players get rookie camp invites.

    EDIT: Dale Moss is the SDSU guy I was thinking off. He played basketball 4 years and football his last year in 2011. Between 2012 and 2014 he bounced around the practice squads of the Packers, Bucs, Panthers, and Bears (link).

    True. I think Mustard did play football after his basketball eligibility ended. One season.

    Dex has nothing to lose. The TE role in the NFL requires a lot of basketball skills.
