Danny Gorrer's mother told him he could do anything.. He decided to fly
So I go to bed and the Seahawks make a move. Serves me right. Guess that means no more sleeping for me, ever. The move comes after Pete Carroll reported that Byron Maxwell suffered a "first-degree hamstring kind of thing" against the Cowboys. Maxwell has been solid on special teams this season so it stings to lose him so early, but the 'Hawks are loaded with special teams talent so I fully expect the rest of the unit to cover for Maxwell.
As for Gorrer, he's been a journeyman thus far in his career spending time with the Saints (twice), Rams, and most recently the Baltimore Ravens. Prior to that he started 24 of 42 career games at Texas A&M posting solid yet unspectacular numbers during his two seasons starting. His measurables do "pop off the paper" though, which probably had a big hand in the Saints giving him a shot as a UDFA. 6'0 185 with a 4.40 forty time will probably land you a spot to show what you've got somewhere.
Apparently, he can play a lick too. Baltimore Ravens fans were none to pleased that Gorrer was sent packing prior to the season.
I'll have to check him out last season once I get NFL Game Rewind (times is hard!) However, it would appear that with Maxwell on the shelf for an undisclosed period of time and site-favorite Jeremy Lane still learning the nuances of the position at the NFL level that Gorrer will get a shot to prove the much maligned Ravens fans correct, at least until Walter Thurmond III comes off the PUP. We'll see how Gorrer looks in the new Nike duds this Monday. Of course, with the way the team signs and cuts guys in record timing, who knows.
