"Tommy Breaux Continues to Impress"

[leprecaun24]

Has anyone heard of this kid? Undrafted, out of Towson.

6'7 - 203 lbs.

Redskins.com mentioned him in an article, http://www.redskins.com/gen/articles/Mini_Camp_Practice_Report__Sunday__May_3_34959.jsp

"Jason Campbell tossed a sideline pass to tryout rookie Thomas Breaux, who continues to impress in mini-camp despite his lanky frame. Breaux found an opening in coverage along the left sideline."

Patriots insider said he is a Randy Moss "Style" receiver. He seems like if he bulked he could do some damage with that height of his.

[Mickalino]

Any relation to former Skins Coach Don Breaux ?

[Mickalino]

Holy **** !!!

He BETTER catch the ball, at that height

If by "2.0" you mean the updated, improved version, I certainly hope so.

the championship line never gets old - it will outlast us all! :hysterical:

[Hunter_R]

He's got to be a damn toothpick to have that weight at 6'7".

[Park City Skins]

6'7" and 207lbs. Yep. That's lanky alright.

[Mickalino]

championship!

Maybe to them it's not a joke.

Perhaps those believe if they say "championship" enough times, it will happen.

[Fred Jones]

I like reading about new people impressing the coaches. It doesn't mean they will make the team or make any type of impact, but every once in a while a player comes out of no where to make the team and make an impact.

Will it be this guy? I doubt it, but is still nice to read and hear about longshot players.

[ddub52]

Doesnt this guy have an insane vertical too?

[SkinsAllDay34]

If you look him up he is a Basketball player

Also running a 4.5 forty is not bad at all at his height. He is lanky though, but look at Randy Moss, he is very lanky and still gets it done.

[THE POSSE 81 83 84]

There is another thread about him earlier about his whole background and that he was a two-way athlete at Towson (football and basketball)...6-7 runs in 4.4 to 4.5 range and can hang on the top of a backboard.

[Hunter_R]

Randy Moss is shorter and heavier, so that should tell you something.

[SkinsAllDay34]

http://connection.naviance.com/myschoolnickname

Good article and gives all his measurements at his proday. It says he ran the 40 in under 4.5 on one of his runs (4.47)

In another article they describe as super athletic.

Championship!!! LOL

[Mickalino]

Doesnt this guy have an insane vertical too?

When you're 6'7, does it even matter what your vertical is ? :laugh:

[corrupt3d]

Any relation to former Skins Coach Don Breaux ?



That's what I wondered at first but I'm gonna say no. Don Breaux was white, Tommy Breaux is black.


Granted, that doesn't mean anything but just my guess?

[corrupt3d]

Nothing wrong with the Krispy Kreme diet.

[MDstar08]

I believe Tommy can make this team, he prolly just needs to hit the weight room but he can catch definately! I saw him play at Towson U last year!

[Mickalino]

Yea, it didn't apply to Obama, and his parent(s) :)

I got this pic from the Towson U website. It almost looks fake lol

[SkinsAllDay34]

Ok, but when he first came into the league, he was not 210lbs like he is now. I guarantee Moss was either at 200 or under it 10 years ago.

[ddub52]

6'7"tall + 40"vertical = championship!

[Mickalino]

I got this pic from the Towson U website. It almost looks fake lol

Holy Schnikeys.....he didn't even fit into the picture.

I bet the photographer learned his lesson there :

When photographing Breaux leaping for a catch, flip the camera to take a vertical shot, not a horizontal

[littleskins]

He definitly has some good attributes. Hopefully that comes across on the field. I also like Marko Mitchell.

[REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE]

Amen, it was funny ten trillion threads ago......

Randy Moss ran a 4.25 in college. He's a freak. Period.

[Obibyn23]

By the same token, if you didn't like my post why didn't you just ignore it? Or do you have OCD?

Or maybe you should just follow the rules...

Very short posts that do not add value to the topic.

I would think a post of "Championship" adds no value at all to the fact this kid is impressing coaches. In fact...all you are adding to this thread is ridiculous sarcasm. So maybe next time you open a thread, you can actually add some value to your post...or maybe...not open it at all?

Anyways...

As for this guy actually making the team, i highly doubt it. But maybe he can be added to the practice squad? With his height, and his age, one would think he would have some pounds to add onto his frame. If the kid has handles, I'd say we definitely give him an extended look.

[Pimpey42000]

That's a big dude, he should have no problem finding ways to get open at that height.

[AAARedskin]

I really hope that the Redskins will put politics aside this season (ie: the round a guy was drafted in, how much he's being paid, etc.) and PLAY the BEST players. Hey if Malcolm Kelly is hurt, if Jason Campbell plays very average at the QB position, and if Randal El cannot get open and cannot return punts any better than a guy off the street, THESE PLAYERS SHOULD BE BENCHED, in favor of "no-name" guys who are impressing the coaches IN PRACTICE. I am sooooo tired of the words HOPE and POTENTIAL....after a while of average results they become words to LOSE games by. If some of you are content with average results, etc. I hear that the Lions are looking to attract fans....

[Mickalino]

Tommy Breaux must get confused a lot.

Whenever he's around a group of people, and someone walks up to someone else, and says, "What's up, Bro ?"....Tommy Breaux is like, "Huh ? you talkin to me ???"

Agreed. And if any of our draft picks (tryon) arent showing any potential, they should be CUT. Not make the roster just because we were stupid enough to spend a pick on them

[Mickalino]

Maybe on the Wizards. And only if they discover defense.

Not even that.
How did it work out with Manute Bol, a few years back ?

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

I got this pic from the Towson U website. It almost looks fake lol

Holy ****!

Between him and Mike Williams I'm set for this offseason :point2sky

[stoney26]

Just wait till they put the pads on. Anyone can catch the ball when they dont have to worry about a guy about to break him half.

[Mickalino]

See Rod Gardner

[stoney26]

See Rod Gardner

I doubt this guy will even make the team let alone have the type of production that Rod Gardner had. And thats not saying much.

well I meant they have him listed at 6'9" lol

Reserve wide receiver who will see action in certain situations ... two-sport athlete who also plays for Tiger basketball team ... made great strides in the Spring ... caught one pass in the Spring Game ... has tremendous potential ... should also see action on special teams ... transfer from Blinn Junior College where he played football and basketball ... tallest football player ever to play for the Tigers at 6-9 ... tremendous reach will make him a great target in the passing game.

[Mickalino]

Okay, pretty much your whole 1 sentence post appeared confusing :

1) "they".....they being whom ?

2) "havnt".....did you mean "have" ?

3) 6'9.........are you for real ?

Thanks for clarifying

[forbeskin]

I hope this guy works out. How many 6'7 guys are in the NFL? Can't be that many......CHAMPIONSHIP! HAHAHA

STRETCH IT OUT

[Mickalino]

STRETCH IT OUT
Stats in college were

Not Stats, but a Scouting Report

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2009/draft/players/69165.html

BIOGRAPHY: Junior-college transfer who started five games last season and posted 35/514/6 with a 14.7 yard average per reception. Junior numbers included 11/166 with a 15.1 yards average per catch.

POSITIVES: King-sized wideout with solid physical skills. Deceptively fast, shows good acceleration once he gets going, and catches the ball with good eye/hand coordination. Comes back into the clearing to make himself an available target, takes a pounding yet holds onto the throw.

NEGATIVES: Not a natural hand catcher, lets the pass get inside him, and does not play with good balance. Lacks a sense of timing, and is a poor route runner.

ANALYSIS: Breaux offers enticing size and deceptive speed. He's a solid athlete, yet a very raw football player at this point, and a prospect who will need a season or two on a practice squad to develop his skills.

PROJECTION: Free Agent

[kiingspadee]

I hope this guy works out. How many 6'7 guys are in the NFL? Can't be that many......CHAMPIONSHIP! HAHAHA

James Hardy

[IbleedBnG83]

He needs to beef up. He is going to get cracked in the NFC East.

But he does have awesome size. Hope he can produce!!!!!!!!

[Mickalino]

I hope this guy works out. How many 6'7 guys are in the NFL? Can't be that many......CHAMPIONSHIP! HAHAHA

There was one taller than 6'7, who was one of the best receivers ever :

Harold Carmichael @ 6'8

[Mickalino]

James Hardy

Hardy is only 6'5

[jtyler42]

Now he would be a tremendous asset in the redzone...We've gotta stash this guy on the practice squad or IR for the next 2yrs, and allow him to develop...

[fnkdctr(007)]

We could look big with the jumbo WO package.
Jump ball specialist but it sounds like he is a project.

[RenegadeTK]

hope he continues to impress... and hits the weight room hard

[NoleSkin21]

LOL......that 10-second clip of him dunking in a college basketball game, makes me feel so much better about his chances of makin the Redskins NFL roster as a WR


Its just to show he has athletic ability. Hopefully it translates.

[MattFancy]

that's my boy!!! make towson proud tommy!!! bros for breaux!!!

[Yusuf06]

I guarrantee he makes the team IF he gets matched up with Tryon everyday in practice. :)

[NoleSkin21]

I guarrantee he makes the team IF he gets matched up with Tryon everyday in practice. :)


LOL, I think I would make the team if I were matched up with JT all day.

[wilco_holland]

I guarrantee he makes the team IF he gets matched up with Tryon everyday in practice. :)

Lol, Tyron can not even reach this guys helmet wenn he jumps.

Hopefully we can keep him on the practise squad, because a lot of teams could be interested in a guy with this size and potential.

And he is the first WR that can't be over trown by Jason Campbell, Jason can just fire a straight bullet and Breaux can catch it around his chest/face. Not like Santana who then needs to jump to get does bullets from Jason.

[return2glory]

My friend is the assistant athletic director at Towson and he seems to be really high on the kid.

[onnie007]

Hope the kid keeps working hard and tries to push Fred Davis.

[Yusuf06]

Hope the kid keeps working hard and tries to push Fred Davis.
Davis? I assumed Breaux was a WR. He can't be a TE....can he??

[acuratl1984]

Hes a WR, im guessing Onnie007 assumed he was a TE, because he played Basketball like Gates who is a TE.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

So....we get in the red zone, have him run a fade into the end zone and toss it up. It should work 1 out of 3 times :D

[MattFancy]

i remember watching him at towson. he just towered over the rest of the players. if he could hit the weight room and put on some muscle he could be a big time player. all you have to do is throw it up in the air and he should come down with it

[skinsfan93]

Man, this guy is tall for a wideout. If he has any sort of hands, imagine him going up against a corner who is 5'11. He could be a Harold Carmichael type.

[HOF44]

He could be a Harold Carmichael type.



That's who first came to mind for me.

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

I assume that anyone whose last name ends in EAUX is:

A) completely unintelligble, and
B) really really really really fast.

I'd rather never see this guy play, because the mental image of I have of him is fantastic. And, in reality, he is probably, like, white or something.

See... in the mental image he was a combination of Wesley Snipes, Leon Spinks, Harold Carmichael, and the Waterboy.

This killed that.
