Joe McKnight what?! Just kidding. I wish they had picked up someone like Justin Forsett in the offseason for a bargain. They spent that money on Landry and Bell. But Rex says invest in the offense!!

Dibs on the phrase "KACK ATTACK."

Actually a pretty interesting player. Never will be a featured back. To small. 5'8" 200 ish. A between the tackles kind of runner. Really good burst to the hole. Strong legs, good hands. Good ST'er

Could become a fan favorite in camp. The Woodhead comparison is fair. Hope they sign him to a futures contract

If he gained 12 lbs, could he then be a featured player?

Not comparing him in skill, but size, he'd be fine.

Jets need a starter at RB, they don't need the fourth guy behind Greene, Powell, and McKnight.

[bitonti]

the last CFL guy was McIntyre, that worked out pretty good

I think he'll go too early in R2 for the Jets to get a shot at...

I think new GM trades down and accumulates picks.
So we could get him in 2nd.

Is Kackert wearing a uniform or a billboard ad ? Just askin .....

[Il Mostro]

Not in the first round.

I really like him in the 2nd round but have a feeling some team that doesn't have glaring needs will take him before round 1 is over. Maybe trade down or use a late first obtained from trading Revis (oh yeah, it's happening). The fact that he is a Giovani is a plus.

[JoeC36]

Ill hold off on giving my opinion until Jetsrule128 weighs in with his thoughts and scouting reports.

Sarcasm?

I don't know....I want a feature runner. Someone with some stabalizing ability for the offense.

Here's him in the CFL making a 43 yard run:
