Chris Samp for Heisman Trophy: Word of his greatness spreads far and wide

Word of his greatness spreads far and wide

Check out the following Samp-related news efforts:

Phillyburbs.com - I'm not sure if this is a printed news source or website only, but it's Samp coverage is top-notch.
Philadelphiaeagles.com - A feature on Samp on the Eagles home page.
Winona Currents - Samp's alma mater with an interesting feature

Noticably absent from this list is any coverage from philly.com, a website with (until now) a very credible reputation. Posted by mill1991 at August 17, 2005 12:21 PM | TrackBack

Looking for a big game from Samp tonight so that he can survive the 65 man roster cut. I have confidence that he has it in him and can turn heads as he did on Monday night.

Hopefully he'll get in the game a little bit earlier this time and we can see him play with and against guys who will actually still be on their respective rosters next week.

Another Young Bird looking to survive the cut is 7th round draft pick DT Kenyonta Marshall from Grand Valley St. in Saginaw MI. He had a relatively strong game against the Steelers and would like to improve on that effort tonight. It shows the meticulous nature of Andy Reid and his staff in scouting. I'm pretty sure that in scouting Herremans they found two other diamonds in the rought in Marshall and Samp.

It's not been highly publicized, but Samp had a 60+ TD reception in a training camp practice as well. Should he continue with that Big Play potential he might make history with the Birds.

Well he got cut, maybe another team will show interest.
