Former Players

Though I'd like to see Will get a shot a LB as much as anyone, I like his chances of making the 90-man roster at back-up FB and maybe some special teams work.

Do teams keep a backup FB on their 52 man roster (I'm sure it depends on the team)?   With a pro bowl FB already on their team I'm starting to think it may be difficult for Will to make the 52 man roster, unless of course they are wanting a backup FB.

He's going to be a special teams monster at the very least. That makes him valuable.

Dam he's ripped!

Definitely need to watch this game.

Former LB and current @AtlantaFalcons FB Will Ratelle will make his NFL debut tonight against the Washington Redskins in a preseason game.

[geaux_sioux]

I won't be able to watch the game. Updates would be greatly appreciated.

[Nodak78]

The delayed game is on midco at 12:30 so I'm recording it.

[77iceman]

Seems Will is getting a bit of playing time . . . nice.

Yes NFL network

[Sioux>Bison]

So how did he do?

[77iceman]

He did his job.  Solid lead block on a TD and caught a pass for a first down.

  I read someone saying "he catches like a linebacker" . . . made me laugh.

Nov 13th . . . Falcons vs Eagles.  Will vs Wentz.

Every football fan in ND should be tuned in.

They should put him at LB for that game so he can get another sack

Not overly suprising given his position. I hope he can find a team that will give him a chance at LB.

at his height, I am guessing he will be in the CFL to make a name for himself. Was in a tough spot behind a pro bowl Fullback.

[77iceman]

Good luck to Will . . . I'd be pretty bummed if he's NOT in  uniform somewhere this fall.

Guys waived at this point have a good chance to be signed to practice squad or resigned after week one because salary won't be guaranteed. Will still has a shot to play in NFL. Fingers crossed.

Bubba said will was picked up by another team

any news by who

[77iceman]

I hear he'll be wearing a green and white uniform again.

JETS......jets jets jets

[Sioux94]

I never understood why he signed with a team that already had a Pro Bowl fullback.  Chances of outplaying a Pro Bowl FB when you haven't played that position since High School are slim and none. Hope it works out for him on the Jets, if he makes the team I could see the Jets fans really liking a hard working blue collar type of player like Will.
