Trenton Irwin - 53-man roster? - CardinalSagehen - 08-22-2021

He was my kids' favorite at Stanford.  Here's hoping he makes it!

1) 53-man roster projection: https://www.yahoo.com/sports/cincinnati-bengals-53-man-roster-050340570.html
Quote:Irwin has been impossible to miss during training camp, so he gets the nod over the other bubble guys.

Quote:The UCLA product (sic!) added to his strong training camp on Saturday night in the Bengals' 19-14 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, posting three catches for a team-high 35 yards.

"I've loved watching Trenton Irwin play, really the last year-and-a-half," Bengals' offensive coordinator Brian Callahan said Monday. "We would do those one-on-ones in practice over the course of the season and he would always win, and I think that trend has continued."

... "At some point you can't ignore the production. He's done a really good job of making sure everybody notices him," Callahan said. "Certainly not anywhere perfect to where we want him on other details that don't show up on TV, but I just think when his number has been called he's answered the bell and I think that goes a long way for guys competing for spots."


3) One-handed, both feet down!

still remember what a unicorn he was as a 5 star WR.  Only one in forever.

Thinking Tony Hill, Bill McColl (more often TE), Ken Margerum.

So, get this.  Irwin made the Bengals' initial 53-man roster for the first time (although he does have 1 regular season catch from Week 16 last year).  Then, he was waived a few days later because the team needed defensive reinforcements.  He cleared waivers and was signed to the Bengals' practice squad.  

Such is life in the crazy, competitive world of the NFL.
