he's the kind of kid that, if he gets a shot, he'll make it VERY hard for a team to let him go.

Good luck Dontae Strickland. Orange Forever!!!!!!!!!

 

[All4SU]

A long shot, but would love to see this kid reap some rewards.

Dontae Strickland is a leader who never let us down in big games.

Good luck kid. Go orange.

 

[Crusty]

Rooting for Strickland. Has a good chance to stick.

If they put Donte in on 3rd downs for blocking and passes they will not be disapointed. I think he is perfect for this type of situation with a draw or 2 every so often. Hope the Cards see this too.

Strickland turns into Thanos within the opponents 20

I think Strick has a decent shot. He may not be a starter but he is very good at blitz pickup and giving the QB a few extra seconds, decent hands and doesn't drop the rock. Not flashy 4.3 speed but quick. He could see practice squad or be a 3rd back with future upside.

 

[Rocco]

With a rookie QB, Strick's best attribute for Arizona will be his ability to understand schemes and pickup the blitz. He has capable running and catching skills, but the non-stat stuff will help him the most trying to make the roster.

And special teams, I’d bet

Can we change the thread title?

This kid did everything right here

 

[721Comstock]

I sure hope Tae... Sticks.

You just have to be happy for him. Not a flashy player but he won’t get you in trouble either. With a good line his yards per carry may surprise some. Hard work in the classroom and turf paid off!

 

[Nahson]

Kid used to live in a one bedroom motel room with his brothers and sisters. If you feel like you’re going through a rough time, remember Donte. The definition of tenacity.

 

[care taker]

Tommy said its basically the same schemes we run all he has to do is learn the language which is a huge advantage to him plus this year teams can carry 90 until after week 3 of camp which prolongs them getting paid longer

LOVE this. WIll be rooting very hard for Dontae. Hopefully he can earn a spot as a ST and backup back. Like others said, his ability to pick up blitzes and blocking protections should help.
