Texans Sign CB Cletis Gordon

Didn’t see much and need to go put the kids to bed.

Football Outsiders: Cletis Gordon was a cornerback, wide receiver, and kick returner at Jackson State. He’s a size-speed prospect who could get a look as a gunner and return specialist

TSN: Cletis Gordon is a No. 5 cornerback. And while his shiftiness and explosiveness make him an ideal kick returner, the Chargers have plenty of those, too. Just in his second year, he is affordable and under the team’s control through at least ’08. But his roster spot is in jeopardy because the team has an abundance of linebackers and just simply might not need him. He would have a better chance to contribute regularly elsewhere.

Rick Smith stood in the team parking lot at the Texans practice facility, eyeballing the beaten-up Plymouth Gran Fury pulling into the parking lot. The car sported Georgia plates, and it was obvious, this vehicle had been a police probably thirty years ago. The car pulled into a parking space, and an elderly white man jumped out proclaiming, “You must be Rick! I’m your new CB!….”

he doesnt seem like such a bad player…just another CB we have…

Dunta Robinson is no longer a Texan…

where did you see that?!

I am sleeping in tomorrow and pretending to work the rest of the day.

Cletis is also a punt returner

Cletis has tons of potential.
i was suprised he got cut.

he has all the skills he just never seemed to put it all together.
he seems to lack confidence, he has all the capability but just isnt physical and doesnt believe in himself enough.

he could be a really solid corner if he can put it together.

A nice shot that a craftier person than I could photo-shop

Injury prone offense!

Defense with bigger holes than Paris Hilton!

Special teams with the ability to miss five tackles in a single bound!

AND NOW!!

A guy named CLETIS!

Finally, our image around the league will improve!!

-He has good size and good speed.
-Although he may have been a punt returner in college, he never did it with the Chargers, so it’s anybody’s guess how good he’d be at it.
-He is very inconsistent. He may make a great play once, but it’s usually followed by him getting beaten badly more than once. The Steelers recognized this last year and picked on him mercilessly when he was on the field.
-You do not want him playing CB all the time. He’s a 5th CB and backup punt returner in this league.
