What I can find about Giguere
I am not the biggest fan of Canada. Especially French Canada. So, naturally, when the Colts picked up Sherbrooke University's Samuel Giguere, I was a little disappointed. But when I saw a photo of the kid, I thought: "Good god, is he going to be a defensive end? Or the guy to carry the offense onto the field on his back?" This guy is stacked. I don't mean receiver stacked, I mean Vernon Ghoulston(sp?) stacked. A writer for Yahoo! Sports called him the Canadian Hulk. But it doesn't stop there. I did some research on his workouts and this is what I found:
40 Time: A career best of 4.35, and recorded worst of 4.49.
Vertical Jump: Best, 42", Worst 40"(He's already around 6'0" to 6'1"
Bench Press: reps in the mid 20s(225 lbs)
Shuttle: 4.10 Seconds
I couldn't find other scores like 3 and 5 cone, but these numbers by themselves are impressive. To add to it, he was second in CIS(Canadian NCAA) in receiving with 45 catches for 876 yards and 7 touchdowns. And I have every indication that this is a run-first team in a run-first league. He also returned kicks and played special teams. I look for this guy to make a splash at the rookie mini-camp this weekend, and hopefully carve niche for himself. The only question I have is how is his route running. American football university games don't seem to draw many fans, and there is no videos of him anywhere on the internet.
I just hope his English is good, because I don't even think Pierre Garcon can parlais Francais. I know I can't.
This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Stampede Blue's writers or editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of Stampede Blue's writers or editors.

he swoll
I’m guessing he can run block. After the top 3 the WR spots are really up in the air. Roy Hall, Garcon, Aromashado, Thorpe, Shelton, Giguere, Buress, Dillion. At least 8 guys competing for 2-3 roster spots and another 1-2 on the practice squad.

I Can't Wait
To hear how the rookie minicamp went. I think we have a bunch of promising UDFAs.
