But, that doesn't mean there isn't a potential role for him on the practice squad, considering he can also play LB on the scout team. On the 53, there isn't room for a true FB. If you were thinking goal line they'll just bring Fisher in as an extra blocker. We're not sure why Hewitt has been out the last couple days but the only way Luc has a shot is if he somehow shows up running patterns as a TE like Hewitt would do to show some other versatility.

He did run something like 4.65, which is pretty amazing for a guy his size and strength.  When you add pads to this guy it isn't going to destroy his power-to-weight ratio, either.  

I  hear what you are saying about a true FB, but if he can produce on special teams maybe it makes sense to carry him over a rarely used WR (like Alford?).  

I know it is challenging for a spot like his that is used so infrequently in today's game, but I sure like the idea of a sledgehammer like him opening holes for Jeremy and Gio.  

Marvin keeps preaching the running game....I guess we will see.
