NT players in NFL training camps

Cole Hedlund was 1/2 today ( made 41 and missed 51) on FG and 1/1 on extra points.

 

I think he gets picked up by somebody if he finishes strong in preseason.

I am as big a fan of Hedlund as anyone, but I am still baffled that Trevor Moore has never been picked up or invited back to a camp.

Guyton not really making a name for himself with the Cowboys, but not being given much of a chance either (or he’s just not getting open).  From last night’s box score, he was only targeted twice and didn’t catch either.   He was the only receiver targeted without a catch.  At one point the media was stating we should see a lot out of Guyton in these first two preseason games.  Haven’t seen much in results, unfortunately.

Guyton should have stayed in Denton for another year and everyone but him knows it. He hasn't been the same since Army. He will be fodder for another week, maybe.

Guyton won't make it. I wonder if he regrets his decision to declare for the NFL.

He was very accurate but not strong on length is my understanding.

Do the players get paid while in training camp? Are the coaches and trainers in cowboys organization better than colleges?

I believe they get a per diem payment of somewhat over 1k a week.

No because he already has his degree. Why would he want to spend another year attending classes he doesn’t want to take just to be the 2nd or 3rd best receiver on the team?

Was listening to Norm Hitzges a couple of days ago, he said the players have to pay California state income tax since they’re practicing in Oxnard.

Would he even have had to take Spring classes since he graduated in December? Couldn't he just train for the NFL all spring, then enroll this week for Fall Semester grad classes even if he has no real intentions of attending them.

This scenario may eliminate him from being eligible for a bowl game but he sure would be better prepared for the NFL draft and training camp.

Either way, I wish we had him back for this season. Great kid and I loved his enthusiasm; and I will always remember his hyper celebration ramble after the 2017 UTSA game.

Jeff Wilson just scored a TD on MNF!  Go Jeff!

I’m glad he’s healthy.  I hated he missed last week’s game VS the Cowboys!  There’s not a guy at RB for the 9ers he can’t beat for a job.  Just gotta keep the fumbles in check.

He had the most carries for the 9ers. Finished with the third most yards (second was a receiver with one carry on a jet sweep) and one touchdown. Think it bodes well for him since he didn't play the first game.

He got blown up by an LB and gave up a terrible sack of Mullins late in the game.  That’s a rare miscue by him since he’s always been an excellent blocker.

Also, not to change the subject but Nick Mullins looks a hell of a lot better at QB to me than Jimmy Garappolo.

True, he also had a much lower yards per carry than Mostert who started the game I believe. 

In the positive side, Jeff gave a monster stiff arm on a nice run to the sideline and also his touchdown was in a situation that the 49ers struggled with last season. That situational touchdown could go a long way in him getting some playing time this year.

True - anyone working remotely in another state owes that state. I worked in Cali one week and had withholding - got it back on a refund. But for these players, I wouldn't sweat it - CA state taxes are likely at 1% (up to $8.5k) or 2% (up to $20k). CA is everyone's favorite tax whipping boy; but unless you're pulling in the big bucks, their taxes aren't a whole lot different than other states.

Current 9ers roster has him tied for third in the depth chart behind Breida and Coleman and tied with Mostert. Last year, he was behind Breida all season, Coleman just came in this season so he is an unknown at this point but I think he can beat out Mostert. He has an interesting situational split if you check his stats on the 9ers website..
