:(

Lucas Patterson, a promising backup center, has been released a day or two ago.

Shame. He was a DL-turned-OL that actually panned out. He looked fantastic last preseason.

Once they brought on Eric Kush, though, there was no need for him.

Toben Opurum #WhoKoo‏@TOTrey536m
After completion of my physical, finally signed my contract as free agent of the Kansas City Chiefs. Thank God.

Adam Teicher‏@adamteicher1m
Toben Opurnum tweeted that he signed with chiefs. tried out as fullback in recent mini camp

ill admit i watch zero Kansas football, but that Opurnum guy played RB, LB and DE for Kansas at different points of his athletic collegiate career? and they tried him out as FB?

109 tackles and 6 1/2 sacks on defense in a sample of what 2 seasons? 3? is not that bad, what is he just some freak athlete? I'm surprised they are bring him in as a FB seeing as how they A) traded for one and B) drafted one and C) we have no depth on the d-line and if hes more of a LBer, his competition would be what, Frank Zombo and Edgar Jones lol

I think my point is I'd love to see a guy like that, on paper make the team, but I feel the odds (numbers at the position) are stacked against him.

Dude came on as a freshman when Jake Sharp (IIRC) went down with an injury. I ****ing loved the kid. Dude hit like a ****ing freight train. There's a YouTube that Zeke posted in the KU football thread where he KOs some moron UT safety. I ****ing loved it. He got through the line and went looking for somebody to hit. It was a glorious display of football.

Then KU hired Turner Gill. Radio moved him to LB :Spock: and proceeded to embarrass the university and I quit watching.

meh

THANK GOD! My favorite name on the team is now a Chief. I'm going to list Toben as a fullback. I will change that as the OTAs progress.

I also forgot to add Buddy Jackson, which I have now fixed.

Can he catch?

Didn't much as a freshman. I assume they didn't work on it much in LB drills.

Looked it up. As a freshman he caught 15 balls for 105 and a TD. He did take one for 30 yards. In 2012 he came in on O and caught one for 12. Obviously Weis thought he was worth putting out there for a trick play.
