Barrett Trotter invited to try out for the St. Louis Rams

I wonder if Jeff Fisher's presence has anything to do with this.  Either way congratulations to Barrett.

Always liked Barrett

Great for BT. Wish him all the best.

It couldn't be true that AU has a connection with an NFL coach. NOOOOOOOOOOOO, not possible.

I wish BT all the best!

Should be a good experience.

Hope he makes a roster. Dude has grit.

I'll admit I was on the "Bench Trotter Bandwagon" but man did that VA game prove me wrong. Our young offense as a whole was the problem, not Trotter. I wish him the best and hope he continues to prove people like me wrong.

Takes a big person to admit a thing like that.

2nd that!  :bow:

Yeah, I read this a couple weeks ago. There's a thread on ITAT about it.

I believe he's tried out for a few CFL teams as well.

Hopefully he'll catch on somewhere.

Congrats to BT. I hope he will come see us after he makes the big time!

not a big person. an honest, logical  person. i still dont think anyone was wrong to want to see clint get a shot, but you are right trotter was not the problem.

It was tough to watch BT get all the blame last fall knowing that many factors figured into the games. 

I sure hope that he can catch on and live the dream a little longer.

Good luck Barrett!

You spelled everything wrong

He could make a solid backup.  Hope it works out for him.

[alexava 6,987]

He made a choice and i respect it but dont see why he didnt have the fire to give it another shot this year. Thats why i dont see him making an nfl roster. Cart before horse thing i guess.

Well, I wasn't calling him fat. :-\

That's a defensible assessment. With the NFL, of course, one never knows . . .

Actually, I don't really blame him for not giving it another shot. He already graduated, has a bum knee, and probably knew he'd be riding the bench behind Frazier regardless of how well he played simply because Kiehl is a freakishly athletic quarterback. So he could come back and sit on the bench while either taking BS courses or struggling through graduate studies that he likely will never complete, or he could move on with his life.

Considering that he has obviously been in discussion with professional teams, I'm guessing he might have had his sights set on playing in the CFL for a couple of years and working on lining up a spot as a backup somewhere if he couldn't make an NFL roster this year. Sure does make for a better audition than riding the pine pony here.

I'm not sure I even knew he had already graduated.

He graduated before last season started.

i guess that didnt read right. it was obvious a lot of people wanted a qb switch and then the bowl made it obvious we probably didnt need the switch. its not like he did something so noble as admitting you have a addiction or a fault or something that is actually debatable.

I wish BT the best and I believe we will see BT coaching one day.
