Hopefully, he's just a camp body. If they want to give him a shot at TE, then fine, but based off of his play with the Gophers I don't want to see him play QB again.

Waterboy. Lol. I kid. Another hometown guy makes the team.

We were all so drunk by the time Taylor played who knows what the hell happened to him

Based off of his play with the Gophers I'm not sure he was playing QB then.

For the sake of the WR's I hope they have someone on the sidelines to yell "INCOMING!!!" when Leidner throws so the intended target can relax and everyone else can get their hands up :p

That's fair. He could run and he'd occasionally heave up a ball that would land somewhere near a receiver, but his accuracy and slow delivery time were brutal. There were so many games where the Gophers had no threat of a passing attack. I still laugh about when Todd McShay claimed he was a potential 1st round pick when everyone wanted him benched.

Crazy the guy was delivering food before being called up for a cup of coffee. Doesn't he have a degree to fall back on?

You mean those $75000 pieces of paper that say you are qualified to work in a coffee shop?

LOL, yep. But I'm guessing Leidner was on scholarship, so he probably doesn't have any student loan debt.

I would expect that it's difficult to find a job until he is fully divorced from the idea of playing in the NFL. I remember when I graduated from college, trying to get ANY non-career job was impossible because companies won't hire someone they think will bolt right away. Kudos to him for trying to do what he can to make ends meet.
