Perseverance.

Let’s goooo! I really want to see him on a starting roster.

Doss had one reception for 6 yards in today's preseason game against New England.

5 targets, 2 drops. Ouch

Does anyone know how to remove the old Aggie tapatalk site form the current Aggie sports site. Very annoying and it is very tight and Will not go away easily.

Doss and O’Sullivan must have quite the jersey collections.

Doesn't JT have all his helmets on display behind him in his videos? edit: maybe I'm just remembering him showing them in one of the ESPN "look at this guy!" features a while back.

Here's J.T.'s latest, a pre-season breakdown of former Oregon State Beaver Jake Luton with Jacksonville (vs. Raiders) - they played this game a week ago:

Check out 5:37, great route, ball thrown a little behind him, hands catch, let it get into his armpit, dropped:

Doss signed a 825k deal w Giants.

One man's prediction, Doss gets cut....

Pretty good work for a guy who was rumored to have been cut late last week:
https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/new-york-giants-release-veteran-wide-receiver

3 catches on 4 targeted passes for 34 yards.

Apparently he was just about out the door and got a last minute reprieve late Friday afternoon when another wide receiver was injured in practice and placed on the injured reserve list.

That catch reminds me of a preseason catch he made in Canada vs. the Packers his rookie year.

Is he off the giants now?

For now...but who knows how long?

This past Sunday, Doss caught 3 passes (out of 4 targets) for 34 yards.

Sweet!

The Giants' roster is a chess board with players moving like the backfield in a Canadian Football League game. That is especially true for wide receivers. Yesterday one was back from the PUP list, one tore a hamstring and is out for the season, and they picked up two off the waiver list.

Here is a nice bit on Keelan, but still predicting he won’t survive the final-final cuts:

“Keelan Doss: Doss made the catch of the night in the third quarter when he made a leaping, diving catch of a back shoulder throw for 20 yards. It was a spectacular, one-handed catch against contact. Doss finished with three catches for 34 yards, improving his desultory performance last week. He is a physical blocker and possession receiver who hasn’t been reliable enough this preseason. Still, the numbers might be working against him regarding earning a spot on the initial 53-man roster. 

Very Early Roster Prediction: Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney, Wan'Dale Robinson, Sterling Shepard, Collin Johnson, David Sills V.”

There is no chance Doss makes the 53. His only hope is the practice squad and then another injury.

I have to agree with this.

Signing two WRs off some other team's waiver lists on Wednesday was a pretty strong indication of what the Giants' front office is thinking.

Keelan was waived this morning. Sad, but not surprising. Giants had a lot of WRs in camp.

I wonder what the problem is. His routes aren't good enough and he is not getting open? He's not fast enough? I know he dropped some balls in games, so is his reliability there a question? Did he just never get enough attention in practice or games to really show what he could do? What a bummer. Hard to believe a guy that was that dominant for us can't seem to make the NFL.

When you're vying for a position coming out of the dark, you basically have to catch everything.

Same old story. I remember when I thought that Corey Hawkins was a cinch to make it in the NBA and I heard commentators last season practically guaranteeing that Daniel Whelan would be drafted. There is stigma attached to the lower level conferences, even with the likes of Cooper Kupp and Trey Lance making it in the NFL or Pascal Siakim and Alan Williams in the NBA.

The NBA and NFL are billion dollar sports businesses. The cream rises.Ken O Brien and Bo Eason made it when we were D II. There is an amount of luck but in the NFL with so many injuries and such short careers if you have the skill, and talent you will play in the NFL. In the pro bb with all the different pro leagues you can land on a spot and work your way back into the NBA As for Doss I agree with 88 Aggie, I did not see separation or crisp routes of an NFL receiver. It might be that his road to the NFL might be in special teams. I root for all Aggies so best of luck to him and all Aggie grads!!!!!
