PrintThe Denver Broncos on Tuesday signed linebacker Jammie Kirlew, whom they selected in the seventh round (232nd overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft from Indiana University. As per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Kirlew (6-foot-3, 264 pounds) earned All-Big Ten Conference honors during each of his final two seasons at Indiana, where he tied for third on the school's all-time sacks list (23) and tied for second on its all-time tackles for loss list (52.5). As a senior, he tied for sixth in the nation with five forced fumbles in addition to posting three fumble recoveries, 62 tackles and 6.5 sacks as a second-team all-conference choice.
Kirlew also was a four-time Big Ten All-Academic Team selection at Indiana and was a candidate for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award during his final collegiate season.
An all-state selection at Cyprus Creek High School in Orlando, Fla., Kirlew was born on May 12, 1987.

Deja Vu...have I not already posted to this...anyway...I think he will make the roster!
Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
All I want is 53 Rod Smiths. Is that asking too much????

NICE
You know what this tells me.
Denver is saying, "There will be no holdouts this year. We are signing everyone asap. Next up: Eric Olsen followed by Perrish Cox.
There haven’t been many signings yet. For Denver to have 2 already, this is a very good thing. SO EXCITED!

Looking at the stats...
Why was he a 7th rounder!?

tweener from Indiana
Indiana isn’t really a big time school. If he put up those stats in LSU he would be MUCH higher.

Perception really then isnt it?
I mean its not like Indiana is Virginia Beach University or something! Oh well, I spose I AM GLAD he fell to the 7th. A smart guy with some good grades AND good stats. One of those
‘character guys’ that McD is big on!

40 time and undersized
his 40 time was 5.0…not exactly what you’re looking for from a DE. But…it doesn’t make sense why he would drop to the 7th round. It seems to me like he has the same upside as a 3-4 OLB as Doom did coming into the league. He could definitely be just like any other 7th rounder and get cut before TC, but I think he has a good shot.

I think that's fair
This guy could be a very good value. on the Broncos he’s not a tweener – he’s about ideal. OLB? Atkins is too. Both would be great, especially if Atkins is showing some power at the ROLB. Could Reid have more problems than we think? Probably not, but we did bring in great competition at so many positions. I can’t recall a TC offhand with this many great battles coming up.
Gnothi Seauton
By the way - smart?
Graduated with degrees in SPEA management and public financial management in December 2009.
That is a serious double major. Good for him – he won’t have to worry about life after football.
The two-time All-Big Ten selection and two-time team MVP closed out his career tied for third on the Hoosiers’ career sacks list with 23 and second on the career tackles for loss list with 52.5. Kirlew played in 48 career games with 41 starts. He collected 220 tackles, 152 solo, with nine forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries.
I can’t believe he dropped this much.

Hmm, not exactly a small school or conference…

Did you have to Say that Sayre?
Don’t remind me.
How are the Cougars going to do in DII Sayre?
Shoot..
New coach, almost all new players, new level of competition? I’m hoping for more undefeated stuff, cause that’s all I have known :)

When he dropped thats when the Broncos traded to get back in the 7th round
The two 7th round pickups were seem to be 5th round talents by general consensus. Team needs in rounds above them helped to make them slip. After the first few rounds non one is a perfectly ideal candidate but they easier could have gone much higher.
The numbers
four-years, $1.84 million. The deal includes a $50,000 signing bonus. 2010: $320,000, 2011: $405,000, 2012: $490,000, 2013: $575,000, 2014: Free Agent

I do not understand why the first sentence uses whom instead or whom
I think I am going to die before, whomever educates me on this
ooooooooh i know this.
The simple way to explain this is that you are supposed to say who when referring to a subject (me, he, she, they, we) and whom when referring to an object (me, him, her, them, us). Which means John should have said who, but I think we’ll give him a pass because it’s the internet and not an English dissertation.

nevermind John is right
“whom” is referring to Kirlew, the object in the sentence.

Can't say enough about signing high Character players.
Depth on the team is much improved over last season. Lets hope it equates to 10-6 minimum next season. Both Jammie Kirlew and Syd’ Quan Thompson should contribute to special teams making the 53-man roster.

5.0 speed
Let’s hope his sudenness, great angles and textbook tackles continue to overcome average speed at the NFL level.
McD said before the draft that there would be players at certain spots and you would say to yourself, how is it he's still there.
I think there were quite a few and ’whom’ever acquired LeGarrett Blount got the steal of the draft, errrr UCFA…
the Niners got him.

I thought he bolted from that offer
and took one with the Titans?

.. Blount originally agreed to a deal with the 49ers, but backed out when the Titans stepped in. He’ll have more opportunity in Tennessee,
no goats, no glory.
Sorry
I completely missed that.

re: Blount
The suspension issue wasn’t the problem. He simply lacked the physical skills — receiving, blocking, etc. — as well as the mental ability that we look for.
The story was similar to Jonathan Dwyer’s. He was available up till the #188 pick (#6/#19) but remained on the board far longer than analysts looking at him months earlier would have expected.
