Looks like Person's best season came in 2015, when he started 14 games at Center for Atlanta:

I will say, I'm a big fan of Michigan lineman (well any Michigan players) and additionally a big fan of Bentley's oline training camp.  I don't think he will take over for Vuj (although maybe) but mainly because he's new.  But I could see him getting some playing time in the 2nd half of the season.

Redmond is garbage so I hope Person is his replacement

I am too, however I watched almost every game last season and I did Not like what i saw from Kalis. His Senior Bowl practices were worse than his regular season play also. IF he can turn it around that would be awesome, but right now I'm in a wait-and-see mindset. I would have liked taking Magnuson and putting him at RG.

Yeah, I only got to watch a few Michigan games last year and he didn't do anything impressive.  But I do think he's a good fit as a guard in a zone blocking scheme.  He has pretty good movement skills and lower body agility, but he does get pushed back quite a bit by stronger DTs.

I dont know much about him but apparently the knock against him is his size.  That usually means strength when you’re talking about an O lineman.  

 

What the the heck happened to Clark?  He went from future star to current bench.   How could a guy, who supposedly worked out with the rest of the guys in the off season, lose it like that?  Is he done?

Poor Spence.......what a rollercoaster ride for that guy

Yep...but he is drawing a paycheck...there are those guys week in and week out that fall on that cut line all the time. Possibly some point another team will have a rash of injuries and he will get brought in....but I think he was a long shot to be on the team to start with considering all the guys we brought in at linebacker. As long as he stays positive and keeps working hard when he gets his chances maybe he will stick eventually.

That's the idea.  To be fair to Redmond he was playing out of position when they put him in at center.  His natural position is at guard.  

 

Person is a journeyman OL.  He's been with the 49er's, The colts in 2012, the seahawks, the rams, the falcons and the chiefs.  Been in the league since 2011 just jumping around.  

 

Not good enough to actually stick with a team for a very long time but good enough that teams still ring his phone when they need an OL in a pinch.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.

      Potential/Average/Concern

      By RollerColt · Posted

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.
