PrintThis article is very much inspired by supercolt's excellent FanPost, which lists all the undrafted rookies for 2010, that we currently know of, and attaches some YouTube goodness to their names. For this follow-up post, I've taken the time to embed the videos into the post. This way, you can view all our rookies kicking the crap out of their competition within the warm, friendly confines of the Stampede Blue website.
I'll just say it right now, because I agree with supercolt: Vuna Tuihalamaka will make the active football roster. Damn impressive-looking linebacker. Don't know why this kid wasn't drafted.
Vuna Tuihalamaka, LB, Arizona
6'2, 230 pounds, 4.65 40 time
David Caldwell, S, William & Mary
5'11, 212 pounds
Brandon King, CB, Purdue
5'11, 195 pounds
Javarris "Baby J" James, RB, The U. of Miami
6'1, 215 pounds
This run looks positively "Edge-like"
Thad Turner, CB, Ohio University
5'10, 188 pounds, 4.51 40
Blair White, WR, Michigan State
6'2, 200 pounds
QB, Tim Hiller, Western Michigan
6'5, 234 pounds
Hiller's at around the 7:30 mark
Mike Newton, S, Buffalo
5'11, 200 pounds
Again, so far it is looking like a damn good crop of rookies heading into 2010.

Vuna Tuiahihheizasd.....yeah
That dude looks like a beast against the run. He’s gonna need a nickname if he makes the roster though……..

He knows how to take a decent angle
And cut through traffic. He makes everybody else look like they’re running in slow motion.
Put him at strong safety
and call him the next Troy Palamalu.
You should come over to myspace and twitter my yahoo until I google all over your facebook.
Great post. Thanks, BBS!
Agreed… Tui-yada-yada looks really good.
Also, I’m jazzed about Blair White’s prospects. That’s a long video; if you don’t wanna take time to watch the whole thing, start at around 4:30. He makes 4 or 5 plays in a row that make you sit up and take notice. He could be something special.
Would love it if Sweet Baby James turns out to be great, but can’t say i’m excited about what i saw there.

Yeah, Blair White is the real deal.
I’m amazed and stunned that he went undrafted. And smart as hell too – I believe he was pre-med.

david caldwell
anyone else impressed by this kid? he doesn’t seem super fast but:
+sheds blocks well
+he can HIT a mofugga
+relentless, seems like it’s very difficult to take him out of a play
since it’s a highlight video, there naturally aren’t very many negatives to see but he seems promising

Thanks for the shoutout BBS
BTW, great post. I recommend adding a poll to let the fans vote on their favorite UDFA or atleast who makes the team.
Is it me or does Blair White remind anyone else of Austin Collie 2.0? I love the kid’s desire and smarts. He went from a walk on to the record books at MSU, team captain and an Academic All American…great story…he has the smarts to do very well in Indy plus he’s a good player that runs good routes.
Oh, so you are recommending I do MORE WORK?
Ugh. OK, fine. Poll coming soon. :)

Who happens to be
the most likely to both make the roster as well as an impact.

What am I gonna do no

Defense is more important than breathing.
I'm confused
is the poll just for this article, or the whole UDFA class? Cause you’re missing a few…

Just for this article
I think BetterD should post a new one once we know who all the rookies signings are.

Mike Newton
Newton flies around like a Colts safety and hits like one too
agreed
I saw some flashes of Bobzilla there – did anyone else?
How can you not love a team that does this?
Couldn't say just one...
Mike Newton, Thad Turner, and Vuna Tuihalamaka, are most likely of all of them to make the roster.
The two lest likely are:
Tim Hiller. I doubt will make it for he didn’t look all that impressive and he’s applying for a position thats been filled, unless we go with a third QB again this year.
Blair White. He looks pretty good but we have WRs coming out our ears, but I’m sure he’ll make the practice squad.
Joshua 24:15
"If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve... ...but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
Hiller's just PS addition and/or camp fodder.
and competition for painter.
"We'll put em in the pot, shake it up and see what comes out." - Howard Mudd
He could beat him out
I don’t think Painter can have a firm grasp on that position
Welcome to the Colts, Jerry Hughes!
whoops.
I hate painter. So i hope you’re right ;)
"We'll put em in the pot, shake it up and see what comes out." - Howard Mudd
Also, I don't hate him because of Week 16
And I know some people will be quick to jump to his defense if that were the case.
I hated him while he played for my school. Couldn’t believe it when he was picked by my NFL team.
"We'll put em in the pot, shake it up and see what comes out." - Howard Mudd
Me too. Leaving him on the PS is too risky because another team could snatch him up and WRs get hurt so frequently. I can see him being a good ST player and occassionally cracking the line-up.

BW... just maybe... is the replacement for RW down the road.

Does this mean we can finally dump Roy Hall?
That guy is STILL on the roster!

You have my permission...
whatever that’s worth

The guy seems to have great hands...
But he also seemed really slow.

looks fast enough to me
he got deep on quite a few routes.

is Hawaii’s way to say Merry Christmas.

Everyone is high on Blair White
and I am too. It would be great for 18 to have another receiver besides Clark topping 6’. But I chose mike Newton. He’s a beast. Great UFDAs, all of them. The big LB from Zona looks like a sure keeper. Wheeler looks more expendable every day
Everyone check out the Brandon James highlights..I'll post in a few under fan shots
This guy is electric in the return game. Let’s here it
Let's here it???
as in ’let’s put it here’?
or maybe you meant ’let’s hear it’? pray tell! i won’t be able to sleep until i know!
;)

i'm still hear waiting for an answer
Their! I finally gave in to my natural tendency to help everyone correct there English. See that, Cass? I can help to!
heh

Thanks for causing me physical pain.

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Dead week just might be the best college invention ever. Now if only we didn't have any classes during the week at all......
it's what i live for
Seriously, i’m just now beginning to understand the terrible pressure we put on you, dude. Everyone here just expects that Cass will come to the rescue, whenever someone mis-types or using the wrong spelling of a word, with accurate and helpful corrections.
Must put a terrible strain on you, bro’…. all those expectations. ;)

Oh yeah.
I don’t know how I live with the pressure.
