WR Damien Alford withdraws from portal

[crales44]

Experiencing whiplash here.

Think Dino had "the talk" with him-As in "Please come back-We'll throw you the ball more than 3 times a game". Wouldn't be shocked if Shrader had a word w/ him, either.

Welp this is awkward.

I remember complaining about how sick I was of hearing “Custis is going to have a breakout year this year”

Until finally he did.

Alford is ahead of Custis at this point. He has the body and a proven ability to make an incredible catches.
Yes he has some drops. Yes we all don’t understand why he wasn’t targeted more.

But there is NO WAY the staff is OK with him leaving.

Ahead of custis outside of blocking. Jamal was fantastic and that was an under appreciated aspect of our big season.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

YES HUGE!

Hes already good just needs to get a little better.

Gadsden/Jones/Alford is a good trio with a lot of size and mix in Hatcher or Adams for the speed.

Passing game wasn't really a strength but lot of potential we need continuity. Hope GS ankles hold up though and we get the good guy we see early in the year for more than a couple games.

Ahead of custis outside of blocking. Jamal was fantastic and that was an under appreciated aspect of our big season.

Absolutely. He was a clone of Alford prior to 2018 though looking back.

Thing with that team was Dungey really spread it around Custis didn't get over targeted either and 3 very mediocre WRs in Harris, Nykeim, and Riley got a ton of targets. He could have focused on Jamal and given him huge numbers that year. We didn't lean on Custis like we did Ish the year before or Trish the year after.

now we just need our QB to look at him/see him

I’m still for throwing hands with opposing coaches tampering with our players, but I’m glad this guy is back.

I was SO HAPPY to see this. Somehow we must’ve come through with a bag to keep him home.

Thank you very much to whoever made that happen.

I have full faith Alford is going to blossom and go to the League.

 

[Acesn8s]

I think this is huge, with more consistent targets and hard work he has the tools to be a real difference maker……. Still need another WR though

 

[anomander]

He’s not visiting Miami. Withdrew from the portal tonight.

Great news!

 

[CA Monk]

What if it's a different 6'6" WR named Damien Alford?

They switched McCartneys on us in '66. Expect the same with Alford.

Sweet Damien withdraws from the portal and the b'ball team gets a nice win. GO ORANGE

Premature pound town

 

[shu 49]

Great news. Remember we will have Gadsden, Alford, Adams, Brown, Jones, and Hatcher. That’s nice. Smallest guy is Adams and he is the fastest. This makes me happy.

 

[GoSU96]

Very good news

 

[RF2044]

Great to see.

I thought the timing was really strange for him opting into the portal, anyway.

But happy to see this. A depleted WR corps got a solid boost from Alford deciding to return.

 

[texascpa]

does this mean we're no longer a mid-major?

Premature pound town

Is there a pill for that?

 

[Trueblue25]

Good, hope it’s a competitive spring and summer

 

[orangenauburn]

Premature pound town

Is this like the police department in Tennessee?
