Roster nearly set for Sunday’s HUB Football free-agent CAMP in San Diego
With less than a week to go, excitement is building and the roster is nearly set for The CAMP presented by HUB Football, which is set for next Sunday, March 14th in San Diego. This marks the third rendition of the free agent workout camp that is the brainchild of NFL super-agent Don Yee.
Fifty-three of an expected 60 players have already confirmed, and with the NFL quarterback carousel constantly churning, several notable signal-callers plan to throw this weekend for pro scouts. They include former San Jose State standout Josh Love, who most recently huddled up with the Los Angeles Rams, and McLeod Bethel-Thompson, who has spent time with eight different NFL organizations.
Representatives from multiple NFL teams and several CFL squads are expected to attend the invite-only free agent CAMP.
And while much attention will be focused be on the quarterback group, across the ball, the list of defensive participants for CAMP features a number of notable players that includes several with NFL experience, along with a group of notable small-college standouts that certainly have the talent to play in the NFL. Samford defensive end Ahmad Gooden is one such player. He has spent time with three different NFL organizations over the past two seasons, and the 2017 SoCon Defensive Player of the Year possesses raw tools, and he flashes the potential to be an effective situational pass-rusher. California (PA) safety Lamont McPhatter enjoyed an electrifying collegiate career, but he was one of many FCS players who found themselves left out in the cold when it came to receiving an opportunity to audition for NFL teams. In 32 career games for the Vulcans, McPhatter tallied 197 tackles (13.5 for loss), 31 pass deflections, 12 interceptions, five forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries.
Below is the list of the 25 most-recent confirmed attendees for HUB Football CAMP III. Thirteen of the 25 have previous NFL experience.
