that's awesome! i wanted the Colts to pick him up in the draft. He is super fast for his size, although as a LB he can take some bad angles b/c he's used to getting somewhere on the field before his opponent does. when he doesn't make it to the point of attack he can run down RB's though. he'll start out on ST. look forward to seeing him hit some people.

Cool but come on Grigs, lets sign or atleast have a sit down with some of our own FAs.

I assume this is just a future contract signing (training camp fodder)? I don't believe Grigs can sit down with UFAs until the beginning of the FA period in March (am I mistaken)?

I just read in the local newspaper that the Colts signed Mario Harvey LB from Marshall University.

I wouldn't read too much into this. It's that time of year to sign these types of players. They are bodies for camp and some make it; most don't. Polian would have been signing these players as well at this time of the year.

Agreed, but it does look like he's looking at ST players, which is a real weakness for us. I doubt if he or the kid from the CFL end up making the team as starters.

He will be a special teams player at best.

And if that's no true? I'm glad you know exactly where he'll play. Saves our scouts and (soon-to-be) coaches a lot of trouble. Oh, and does "at best" mean that Special Teams players can't be as good as the guys on offense and defense? Was it a slight to Harvey? Just curious...

Viewing those clips, he certainly does seem to have a nose for the ball. His play reminds me somewhat of Angerer. He always seems to be at the ball.

Could he possibly be used at OLB?

I love his nickname.... THUMPER.

Also, the fact that he was drafted/released by the Steelers makes me more interested than if he was on another team.

Pittsburgh is LOADED with LBs. This could be a good pickup, we shall see.

I agree; however I think the CFL kid could have the skills to transition to strong safety.

      If you click on the images in the tweet, it gives you those portions of the article.    And yeah, it's paywalled.

      Possible, yah... Still weird how every quote we get(from April) linking to this article is the diabetes part, and none of them are quoting the combine part.

      I agree with you that teams aren't basing draft decisions on what Bob McGinn is reporting. But I disagree that McGinn's reporting is okay here. In journalism, you don't get to share bad opinions of people without giving the person who is being criticized a chance to respond in the report. If a reporter wrote about a professional in the community, let's say a prominent real estate agent, and reported that other unnamed people thought the real estate agent had wild mood swings due to badly controlled diabetes and was unmanageable, would that reporting be okay? I'd suggest that if a reporter managed to get that into print without giving the real estate agent a chance to respond, you'd likely see the reporter and whoever approved the story fired.

      I don't think anything has been deleted it takes you to the article which is multi part.   It starts ranking WRs at the bottom and talking about Harrison more in depth.   Followed by a pay wall to sign up for the rest. Which more likely than not, includes those in depth reports on Mitchell.       That's what I gather by the info being there in Destin's article with link to site, which then shows pay wall for the rest.

      Again. Notice the link. The link sends us to the article about his combine performance now, not about his diabetes, despite the quotes from April being about his diabetes. No idea what happened. It looks fishy to me.    Did they move the diabetes quotes to a different article behind a paywall? Or is this not the full article and the diabetes part is part of the paywalled content? But the weirdest thing to me is that what's now there is not quoted by any of the articles I see that quoted the diabetes part.   Just strange.
