Berryman not drafted
- Thread starter HiltonMagic
- Start date
Im surprised that the FB from Texas didnt get drafted. He had some really impressive numbers( 40yd dash, leaping, bench etc.)
I think the reason Berryman didnt get drafted, besides his reputation, is that he is more of a "tweaner". Not big enough form DE in the NFL, too slow for LB. But i think he will sign witha team in no time and will probably make it on a roster at sometime this year.

I can't believe you guys are wishing bad on him yes he made some mistakes but he is still a cyclone and made some great plays for them on the field. We should cheer him on and get another cyclone in the NFL.

I'm well aware he's still a Cyclone and did many good things on the field.
Yet his poor actions have really put our defense in a pickle for this fall. For that, I'm a bit miffed.

He used to be a Cyclone by default since he played for us but he was kicked off the team so I don't really consider him a Cyclone anymore. Berryman was a great talent but a complete idiot off the field. This is exactly what is wrong with sports sometimes how talent overshadows what a scumbag someone can be. He obviously did not learn from his time in jail otherwise he'd still be on the team right now.
Sometimes it takes some hard times and harsh reality for people like him to shape up and now he's going to learn that he messed up an opportunity that only a select group of athletes ever get a chance at.

While most people hope J. Berryman lands in the NFL and has a nice career, I think most Cyclone fans are upset that he had the potential to be another Reggie Hayward IF he would have used his brains...After seeing him in the Houston Bowl, I was sure he was well on his way to playing on Sundays...esp. after spending that amount of time in Story CO. jail...Then he pulls another bone-headed move and is off the team..And would somebody kick Jamual Montgomery in the ass and get his dumb-ass away from the current team and obstructions.....HITMAN
well without his stupid off field altercations...he coulda had a big oppurtunity for NFL. He was a monster in the Houston bowl

I don't feel one bit bad for him. I am glad he did not get drafted...the insititution...coaches, and a mojority of fans supported him and he made us all lok like a-holes. His actions proved he did not give one crap about his teamates or fans. He had a "golden ticket" but he was to stupid and undisciplined to cash in on it. He could have went 1-AA, but he had a bloated ego and went to the draft....he is done! I hope he has to go work in the oil fields like a lot of others in that area that did not have the Opportunities he wasted....hell he even got a second chance. When he is 30 he is going to be kicking himself and he can only blame himself.

i truely believe that he would have been a first round pick after he ran out of eligibilty. Possibly even top 10. But he went and pissed it all away. Its hard to have sympathy for someone who did that and made you look like an ass in one good swipe.
I personally think someone will give him a chance to play in the NFL. Shoot, did anybody really think he'd get drafted in the supplemental draft? Only 32 players have been picked in 26 years. Granted there may not have been that many players who have been eligible to be drafted, there were only 7 this year. Teams generally don't pick up players in the suplemental draft.
There are plenty of other "bad apples" around in the league. They won't keep him out because of a few altercations with the law. However I don't know too many teams that play for big money on Sundays in orange jumpsuits.
