Is this going to turn into one of those "does the play-in game count as making the NCAA tourney" argument?
ok I will get it started. yes, making the practice squad counts as making an NFL team.

I was thinking the same thing. Not really sure, but they do make a minimum of $6900 per week, or $117,300 over the course of a 17 week season. For practice. We're talkin' 'bout practice.

They DO have to play a play to be considered an NFL player, and even more important, to qualify for the Cadillac pension plan they have if they play one play.

I wish Rudock the best and appreciate that dispite being ranked as one of the top QBs coming out of high school he thought enough of Iowa to choose them. Unfortunately it didn't work out well for him while he was at Iowa but that is no reason to have bad feelings and resentment towards him. I think CJ is the better QB and if CJ avoids injuries I believe he will see more playing time than Jake because of the two dimensional attack he brings to the table that Jake never had.

Beathard has NFL arm talent, Rudock does not. That's why Beathard goes in the top three rounds...maybe higher. Throw in that he wins, makes plays on third down, and you have a very intriguing prospect. This year is obviously important for him to take another step in his evolution, but right now, Beathard has to be in the top 5-6 pro prospects at QB.

Is Stanzi still on a practice squad somewhere?

Looks like he is still an active free agent. He tried out for the Saints as recently the end of August.

More like if that NW kid can start for the Broncos, so can CJ
To make it in the NFL, you really have to be able to stay calm under extreme pressure and improvise. CJ checks that box. What I don't really know yet is how good he is at reading opposing defenses. This isn't a knock on CJ, I think he's great. The NFL is another level of complexity, so unless you have out of this world talent, you better have a great understanding of the game. So it's hard to say for sure right now how CJ will translate to the NFL.

Lions sign 9 to practice squad, including Rudock,
NFL practice squad players earn minimum of $6,900 per week. That's $117,300 if they stick the entire season, significantly below the $450,000 veteran minimum for players on the regular roster.

The real interesting thing that could happen is if the Lions draft CJ. Would Ruddock take his ball and go home? That was the thing that always bothered me about Ruddock. If another guy gets the nod why just quit and not fight for it. To me that says a lot about the guys character.

Uh, because he had already graduated with a degree at Iowa, and had a chance to start at Michigan, and used that opportunity to end up getting drafted in the NFL. If Rudock stays at Iowa, odds are he would not have been drafted. Seems like Rudock took a calculated risk and it paid off. Good for him.
