The SB Nation's Chargers blog takes a look at some UDFAs and their chances of making the final 53. He details the fact that Brelan's return prowess will be the deciding factor...

"With the Chargers looking for alternatives to Woodhead and Keenan Allen in return duties, there may be an opportunity for Chancellor, especially if Tevin Reese has issues in the return game.

Here's an example of the type of game-changing ability Chancellor can bring to special teams. Keep in mind that this is not against weak competition, but rather SEC power Georgia. Watch that last burst of speed that made two Bulldogs collide into each other.

It's important that he did that against such a power program. Playing at a small school like North Texas, rare are chances to play nationally ranked teams, and when Chancellor did, he had a knack for making a big play or two. Against LSU in 2012, he racked up 114 yards and two touchdowns, scoring one of them on an 80 yard catch-and-run."

Glad to see Chancellor getting the professional recognition that he deserves. Now if the other guys could get a look too...

Looks like Trice is likely to make the Bears (someone said he was listed on the 2 deep). Not sure about Z Orr. Anyone have info?

Brelan really needs a shot at returning kicks and punts in the NFL. He could be a game changer for some smart team. Hope it's the Chargers and it's this year

We are when it comes to football.

He said small school. UNT is not a small school. Some of these folks assume that if they don't know much about a school, it must be small.

What did you think he meant? Small players? Maybe we get small coverage in the media, but UNT isn't a small school. I heard in a recent presentation that UNT is around the 25th largest university in the country, 3rd in the state.

Certainly the author and eagle2014 are referring to the market size. Just like the Astros are considered a small-market team, but they happen to play in a top 5 media market and 4th largest city in the country. They're not saying that UNT is a "small school." It's just referring to the market size that follows the team.

It's not right from a literal standpoint, but neither was the mass media when they spent a decade referring to us as non-BCS.

I don't think AQ vs. non-AQ was finally adopted until the final 1 or 2 years of the system.

So they answer to your question would be, they are referring to non-P5 schools.

Media market wise DFW is 4th or 5th(I've seen both) but Houston in this list is 10th.

Fair point, but even then they probably don't count Denton in the DFW market. In terms of "Small-market" teams here, the author was implicating a small-market fan base, Texas being a perfect example of a large-market fanbase.

Denton is considered part of the DFW DMA - which is the 5th largest DMA in the country.

Austin is ranked 40th.

DMA stands for "Designated Market Area"

I'll bet the author of the article had no idea of the size of NT as a university. My friends in San Francisco were stunned at how big NT is. They thought it had about 18k total students between all of the campuses.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
