Warning! Homer Alert!

Delaware DE Shawn Johnson was drafted by the Raiders in the late rounds. Because they are so deep at DL, he is presently listed as 3rd on the depth charge at right defensive end.

I think he'll either eventually be cut outright or he'll make the practice squad.

If he is cut, I really hope the Redskins pounce on him.

Yes, he is a little smaller. Yes, he came from a I-AA school (the same school as Rich Gannon). However...this guy plays like a giant and has a ton of heart to boot!

I'm keeping my eyes open to see if/when he is released.

I'm a UD Alum who only missed 1 home game last year... I completely agree with you on this. He could add some quality depth at DE, and if he bulks up a little bit, he could turn out to be a pretty good pro.

Looks like Andy Hall might end up on the practice squad in Philly... Hopefully Keeler will stick around long enough to recruit and churn out more NFL talent.
