suh_fan93 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Tommy was performing as a TE, not a WR Oh my. This would not be pretty to watch. TE? You have to wonder was this his idea?!?? Why would that be so bad? Guessing because most TEs are taller and have played TE. Pretty much this. I just don't see Tommy holding a block or setting the edge against an NFL defensive linemen. Stupified that he picked TE to try to make it into the NFL with. Even wide receiver seems more logical. Best of luck... Quote Link to comment

From everything that has been reported by the OWH and LJS, he did drills as a WR yesterday, and he has slimmed down to 215. If he was trying to make it as a TE, he would have bulked up from his college playing weight. Just because Cotton was doing work with TA yesterday, doesn't mean TA is working out at as a TE. It seems like there is just one guy (Husker2019) saying that TA was working out as a TE. Quote Link to comment

Why would that be so bad? Guessing because most TEs are taller and have played TE. "Most" is a key word in that sentence. And...to the last part of your comment. So, because he has only played QB, he won't be able to perform well at any other position? Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Last year he was listed on the roster at 6'01" and 220 lbs. Niles Paul is listed on line at 6'01" and 225 lbs. (Washington Redskins TE) Quote Link to comment

(Washington Redskins TE) This is true but Niles was a lot stronger (24 reps) and played WR That's fine. But, there are other examples of college QBs going to the NFL and getting on rosters and playing at different positions that are more physical. I'm not claiming he is going to be great at TE in the NFL. But, to count him out at this point, I believe, is premature. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm gonna say this again. Is there anyone besides Husker2019 that has said Armstrong is working out to be a TE in the NFL? From everything I have seen, he's trying to make it as a WR. I understand that he could transition to a TE like Niles Paul, but I think his best shot would be at WR. Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Just because I was playing devil's advocate and giving Tommy a glimmer of hope in my mind, I don't think he is a NFL player. Could have been with more development at the college level at a position like RB or LB maybe WR but he has more of a galloping style of run imo that translates better to running back than reciever Quote Link to comment

I understand that he could transition to a TE like Niles Paul, but I think his best shot would be at WR.I should specify, I don't think he was doing the TE/OL drills, but in passing drills I'm pretty sure I saw he was going to line up as a TE Quote Link to comment
Roger Dorn Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Tommy isn't going to be a TE in the NFL. He has a shot to be a WR, RB or maybe a safety. His playing style and body type are not really suited for a TE. Quote Link to comment
Scott Tenorman Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 It's going to be tough for him. He's going to need a team to believe in him enough to give him a few years to learn a new position. My money is him in the CFL, maybe as a QB. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Brandt took note of Armstrong running his 40-yard dash in 4.55 and 4.59 seconds, his 37½-inch vertical jump and a 6.76 timing in his three-cone drill Tuesday. Brandt annually recaps many pro days for the NFL through information from scouts in attendance. Armstrong has worked at receiver and mentioned he would be open to giving running back a shot, but Brandt also mentioned safety for the 6-foot, 216-pounder. After his workout on Tuesday, Armstrong said that “I guess you can tag me as an athlete going forward.” OWH Quote Link to comment
soup Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Have any players been more crapped on during and after their NU careers than Martinez and Armstrong? Maybe I should throw in Eric Crouch. Jammal Lord says "Hi!" Quote Link to comment
