More on Will Demps, this time from my friend, Ren. Because he is a Giants fan, brutally honest, and a total asshole, I trust this scouting report as much as any you'll read anywhere.

I assume you guys are thinking about picking him up or that you're wondering if they should have. Demps looked like a solid FS in baltimore before he blew out his knee. Last year, he consistently looked a step slow and that affected every facet of his game--most of all his tackling. You gotta give a d-back a pass on the year after surgery. He was embarrassed as hell and swore to do better the next year. This year, the coaches tried to light a fire under his ass by forcing him to split reps with this kid, James Butler. Demps took it like a man and played really well in the first 2 preseason games before hurting himself (granted 1/2 those reps came against the 2nd team). Since Reese is sandbagging Coughlin this year [i believe] it just didn't make sense to pay Demps not to play for 4 weeks, even if he is better than Butler. Long story long, I haven't seen your safeties, but if you'd be pleased having a solid safety who has the upside to be good but not great, then you should sign him. He's also supposed to be a smart player in terms of calling coverages, etc.

Side note: He's also the most metrosexual brother in the NFL possibly. Chicks apparently love him. When we first signed him, there were a bunch of articles about how thousands of women are Will Demps fans and go to his website to look at his gay ass beefcake shots.

So, there you go.
