What I can find about Giguere

Sam_guigere_web_mediumI 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: 

via www.usherbrooke.ca

 

 

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.

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.
