Packers Have Former Ravens Wide Receiver Tandon Doss in for Workout
Former #Ravens WR Tandon Doss worked out for the #Packers today, source confirmed.
— Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) September 3, 2013
Doss was a member of last year's Super Bowl winning Baltimore Ravens team, although he grabbed only seven receptions and one touchdown last year.
In 2011, Doss was a fourth round draft choice of the Ravens. He was released by Baltimore on the final cutdown of training camp last week.
The Packers only have five wide receivers on their 53-man roster after keeping six last season. But even though Doss is entering his third-year in the NFL, he also has practice-squad eligibility.

Did you expect them to bring a Pro Bowler in for a workout?

Right but was hoping for Danny Watkins OG

Played at Indiana. Was a good WR prospect coming out.
Would he have Practice Squad eligibility yet?

I take it you didn't get to sentence No. 5 above.

lol, no I skimmed the article.
I wasn't sure if he was on the roster to much to be placed on the PS or not...

The Packers are a xenophobic organization. There are only three players on the roster who have ever played a down of a regular season game for another NFL organization. And, TT has a history with one of them, Wallace.
They work out a lot of players. They even sign some like Mulligan, and say they are going to improve the TE blocking.
In the end, Thompson almost always keeps his own guys, even injured one's like Quarless or career mediocrities like Hawk over outsiders. It's not necessarily a bad thing. Just don't get too excited over any player workout.
Thompson works very deliberately, and he's gathering information. He worked-out Wallace in the spring, dragged his feet and fooled around all summer hoping Harrell or Coleman would improve before he was finally FORCED to go outside the organization, if not out of his comfor zone.

Does he have any return man skills
September 03, 2013 at 10:45 pm
not that I remember. I could be wrong, but I believe he was more of a WR only.

Sign him! Tinkering Ted and Mashed Potato Mike obviously aren't sold on Ross returning with all these workout warriors being primarily return men. Doss is probably the exact player that Ross is at this point=a below average receiver and average returner. My thought is that he has a higher ceiling than Ross being that he was two time all big ten and a 4th round pick after his junior year in which he was the nations no. 4 man in all purpose yards. That said, Ross' ceiling is one you may find in a crawl space and TTT and MPM are obviously aware of that. Plus seamstress only has to change one letter on the jersey. Damn you Jeremy for knowing the play book!! Otherwise you'd be gone already!

Fiddly dee fiddly dumb one of these guys is going to work, maybe or not.

You could have Ross on one side and Doss on the other side. I can hear the broadcasters now its Ross to the left, no its Doss to the left. Oh who is it out there without a scorecard I have no clue.

I hope they pumped him for enemy intel on Balt during the workout.

Doss is a big kid if I remember right? 6' 2ish, 210 to 215 Lbs? I remember him at Indiana, not as a all purpose guy buy as a receiver. I wonder what the y could sign Brandon Lloyd for once the season starts, that of coarse if New England doesn't do it first.

wow!! lars makes an amazing argument. its almost psychotic that the packers only have 3 players to ever play for another team! that would explain why thompson refuses to address glaring weaknesses in free agency anymore,it would appear as if he has cleaned out his roster with the hope he could ultimately win a title with virtually no other players than his own. it all adds up! He refused to get d line help 2 yrs ago when we were pathetic up front, he takes back jolly after 3 drug convictions which is totally against everything the organization stands for,only becuz he drafted jolly,( Jolly did earn a roster spot on his play) he refused to address back up qb until it was so friggn obvious and he had no choice,same way with kicker...(aikmen and buck laughed at us last year)and he refuses to sign any veteran and trys some guy from div 3 who no one has herd of and has zero credentials,and now is doin it with safety. MD Jennings OMG! and now a rookie at left tackle instead of someone like max starks or trueblood that have experience!! sad part is.. this is at the expense of arods prime years!an ed reed at safety and wow,we lead the league in takeaways,or md jennings and we lead the league in plays over 30 yds!! LARS YOU NAILED IT THANK YOU!! TED IS A GREAT TALENT EVALUATOR BUT HIS EGO GOT HIM
