Leggett Fighting For a Spot on Practice Squad

Last year, Lance Leggett did a pretty good job in training camp and during the preseason. He didn’t have mental lapses, didn’t run the wrong routes, or anything else that would warrant a negative review.

The problem that will probably develop with Leggett is the inability to get over the playing time hump, much like what happened to Steve Sanders in the past (before he played briefly last season). Does Leggett possess skills or flash potential superior to Braylon Edwards, Brian Robiskie, Mohamed Massaquoi, Mike Furrey, and David Patten? While Hubbard may be raw, can Leggett overcome the fact that the coaches are intrigued by his big-play potential? Can Leggett, who was Romeo’s UDFA, outshine Norwood, who is Mangini’s UDFA and has already been making a lot of noise?

I think Leggett is more polished than the five receivers listed in today’s Part II and I like what he has to offer, but I don’t expect him to be given as much “respect” as the other players trying out. If it was my practice squad, you’d probably see Leggett and Norwood on it.
