Class of 2018 TE Qadir Ismail (MD)

I think his 40 time and verts were taken wearing Doc Martins and his height was measured while seated in a bean bag chair. They didn't test his bench press because they didn't have plates big enough.

I spoke to someone who knows and the kid is looking to play WR now not QB.
I agree we should take a look. The combo of height / speed / last name is too good

Finally going to get a legacy?

Jerry Mackey, John Mackey’s nephew early 2000’s maybe.

Didn't we have a lineman whose nickname was "Mackey?"

 

[NJCuse97]

Not a legacy.

 

[Cheriehoop]

Jerry Mackey. He was a grandnephew of All time SU and pro great John Mackey.

 

[JHarris44]

Not a legacy.

Does Cam count? And safe to think in football, Nova > GTown?

And actually I was thinking of Coach MacPherson's grandson.

 

[NJCuse97]

Does Cam count? And safe to think in football, Nova > GTown?

I’m gonna say no. Brothers we’ve done. Ian and Kyle McIntosh. That’s not legacy. Parent/grandparent/son.

 

[NJCuse97]

And actually I was thinking of Coach MacPherson's grandson.

Coach didn’t go to Syracuse. He’s not a legacy

 

[Ozone!]

Wasn's Oslander 6-5 or 6-6?

6’3”

 

[Marroniac]

His nickname should be the Titan (biggest missile).

The NFL is all about legacy, and one year after signing an undrafted rookie deal with his father's old team, Qadir Ismail is joining his uncle's old squad.

Ismail is signing a one-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, which the team announced before this weekend's NFL draft.

Ismail, who was signed to the Ravens' practice squad last August, was placed on injured reserve in October and missed the remainder of the 2024 NFL season. The son of former Ravens wide receiver Qadry Ismail was invited for a tryout at minicamp after a solid career at Samford. He did well enough to be signed to the 90-man roster at the start of Organized Team Activities.

In late July, the 6-foot-6 Ismail switched from wide receiver to tight end and continued to make plays, earning a spot on the team.

One of Ismail's strengths is his versatility. He began his college career as a quarterback at Villanova before moving to wide receiver at Samford.
