Mauldin is going to be a fan favorite for the next decade.

Eight signed Undrafted Free Agents:
DE Deion Barnes, Penn State (6'4", 255) — Barnes, a top Philadelphia scholastic prospect, produced 14.5 sacks and 26.5 tackles for loss in his three seasons before leaving the Nittany Lions after his redshirt junior season last year.
S Durell Eskridge, Syracuse (6'3", 207) — Eskridge, a Miami, FL, native, left Syracuse after his redshirt junior season. In '13 he played through a fractured wrist and a torn finger ligament that required surgery after the season. His career totals: five interceptions (including a 29-yard INT-return TD vs. Notre Dame last season), two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and a blocked kick.
LB Julian Howsare, Clarion (6'3", 255) — Howsare had a productive four-year career at Division II Clarion, just up the road from his football hotbed hometown of Altoona, PA. In 43 games he had 256 tackles, 39 sacks, 57 tackles for loss, three INTs, 14 pass breakups, nine forced fumbles and two recoveries. Oh, yeah, and on special teams he had 10 blocked kicks.
LB Taiwan Jones, Michigan State (6'3", 252) — How will Michigan State's Jones get along with former Michigan star David Harris in the middle of the defense? Fine, we're sure. They seem cut from the same cloth. Jones showed durability, toughness and leadership with the Spartans, totaling 127 tackles and 19.5 TFLs his last two seasons combined.
S Demarkus Perkins, Florida International (6'0", 219) — Perkins crowned his three years at FIU with his best season in 2014. He had two interceptions — one of which he returned 31 yards for a touchdown at Alabama–Birmingham — 67 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 3.0 other tackles for loss, and a forced fumble.
TE Wes Saxton, South Alabama (6'4", 235) — Saxton, who donned uniform No. 13 for South Alabama, had a fortuitous '13 season, tying for the team lead with 50 receptions, for 635 yards. He had more blocking, less receiving (20 catches) as a senior and finished his three-season career with 96 catches for 1,126 yards (11.7 yards/catch) and one TD. His cousin is former Alabama and Dolphins RB Tony Nathan.
DL Davon Walls, Lincoln (6'7", 290) — Walls is one of the interesting undrafted names this year. He went from Abraham Lincoln HS in Brooklyn to Lincoln University in Missouri, with stops at three community colleges and Syracuse in between. Last year at Division II Lincoln under head coach Mike Jones — yes, the same Mike Jones who made the celebrated last-second tackle for the Rams in Super Bowl XXXIV — Walls racked up 10 sacks and 17.5 TFLs. He's raw still but his skills are intriguing.
DE Jordan Williams, Tennessee (6'4", 287) — The Volunteers' streak of 51 straight NFL drafts with at least one choice from UT ended this season, but Williams is one of the Vols who still has found spot on someone's roster, namely the Jets'. In his four-year career, he had 6.5 sacks, 10.5 tackles for loss and four pass breakups — all last season! Watt's up with that?
TRYOUT Players: DL Rony Barrow, Bethune-Cookman (6'2", 250) RB Bill Belton, Penn State (5'10", 204) TE Steve Borden, Kentucky (6'3", 246) C Betim Bjuari, Rutgers (6'4", 295) FB J.C. Copeland, LSU (5'11", 260) G Andre Davis, Buffalo (6'4", 320) LS Drew Ferris, Florida (6'1", 211) TE Mike Flacco, New Haven (6'5", 251) TE Cody Gibson, South Carolina (6'7", 278) QB Jake Heaps, Miami (FL) (6'1", 208) LB David Helton, Duke (6'4", 240) RB Bronson Hill, Eastern Michigan (5'10", 215) WR A.J. Jenkins, Illinois (6'0", 200) CB Martin Jenkins, Clemson (5'9", 180) T Antonio Johnson, North Texas (6'5", 302) C Alex Mateas, Connecticut (6'4", 309) G Tyler Moore, Florida (6'5", 320) CB Anthony Robey, Temple (5'10", 190) WR Jonathon Rumph, Georgia (6'5", 218) LB Kevin Thomas, Wofford (6'3", 245) WR Jarrod West, Syracuse (6'2", 204) WR Arthur Williams, Maine (6'0", 184) LB Chase Williams, Virginia Tech (6'2", 215) S Ty Zimmerman, Kansas State (6'1", 204)

I like that we brought in Copeland. The dude is bigger than most defensive players.

A LS that's only 211 lbs? haha! I just noticed that. BTW, just also noticed that the Jets have got another Punter(Jacob Schum) at camp. I'd rather have him punting than fucking Quigley.

Nice, very excited about this group. 180 from last year. Williams pick has really grown on me. Hope Mo does not miss mandatory stuff and or/camp but even if he does sheldon and Snacks can teach the kid a lot.

Ty Zimmerman is a fairly interesting tryout name. He was initiatlly thought to be a good S prospect coming out of college. Went much later than most thought, if he was even drafted at all. Injuries were always his biggest question.

Injuries were always his biggest question. Yep I had us taking him in the late rounds in a lot of my mocks last year.
