Trishton Jackson: Vikings

[Cuse12]

Getting paid $216k to be a practice player is not bad.

Looks like he's been signed to the 53-man roster as of today:

Vikings Place Nick Mullens On IR, Bring Back Sean Mannion; Kene Nwangwu Designated For Return

In addition to making the Justin Jefferson IR move official, the Vikings made a few more notable transactions Wednesday. The …

Hopefully he can bank some decent bucks while on the 53...

The Vikings obviously must like something they see with Trishton as they keep him around. Hopefully he makes the most of his snaps if he gets in a few of the upcoming games with JJ on IR.

It's weird to me that he has been able to hang around but Steve Ishmael couldn't. I thought his physicality and hands would have given him a shot.

Very hard league.

Steve couldn’t create separation at that level. Hell off a collegiate receiver though.

You go Trish

I've heard Steve Young say that nobody is really open in the NFL (an exaggeration I know). I was thinking he'd be a good possession type guy with his ability to out physical DBs for contested balls. Was he less athletic than guys like Hunter Renfrow? What magic does he use? Is he just that much better at route running?

What is Ishmael doing? Is he in Canada?

And congrats to Trishton, go make some plays and seize this opportunity!

Even though one of, if not the best WR, is hurt and it makes football a little less exciting.

JJ: better read up on Wally Pipp.

Hunter is a master route runner. Much more to getting open at that level than physical ability, which all the DBs and WRs have.
Before his big legal troubles, I represented Tommy Kane on a local civil case. He talked to me about Steve Largent and all the things he taught Tommy about running routes. How to use the eyes, hips and shoulders to misdirect the DBs. Also, how the eyes were the most important part of the body for catching the FB. It was fascinating.
Typing this now, and thinking of Tommy, I wonder if he has CTE and if so, did that contribute to his actions?

Since he has no credited seasons in the NFL, it looks like he'll make $42,000 each week he is on the 53-man roster. Not too bad.

Just below median US annual salary for a week of work? Not bad

This was a cool video on getting separation I came across recently.

[upperdeck]

the easiest way to create separation is with the eyes and very few do that well. Guys do it all the time in bball but you dont see it fball nearly as much.

 

[shandeezy7]

Despite not being the most gifted athletically, Stevie Johnson used to be a master of creating separation almost in a basketball crossover type of way.

Footwork is a big deal. Cooper Cupp and Amari Cooper are two of the best to do it.

Athleticism doesn’t always translate at that level (hello Jalen Reagor).

Released yesterday.

Cleared waivers and back to the practice squad today.

So $42k for that spot appearance.

I mean, I was hoping he'd get more of a hook up, but that's aight.

Chris Collinsworth was incredible. Not particularly strong, not very fast, he just left DBs looking for their jockstraps as he caught TD passes.

Being 6'5" helped too.

Just made his first career catch (I believe).

 

[rrlbees]

Jackson just caught a 7 yard pass.
