If the dude shows major improvement in camp and preseason, then he's found money at this point.
After Geno Atkins, I'm not overly attached to any DT on this roster, so there should be an opportunity if performance warrants it. That said, I hope they don't just keep him because of the human interest/PR aspect. The best player should win the spot regardless of public profile. The d-line was terrible last year, and even though the return of MJ and the recovery of Geno are pluses, I don't think corners can be cut for the sake of favoritism if they want to win. Peko already gets that charity spot. No room for 2 DTs on the gravy train.
