Grant DuBose

Perhaps, the biggest surprise is that Grant DuBose is finally back on the football field (I kid, I kid).

Following a notable absence during most of the Organized Team Activities, minicamp, and the initial weeks of training camp, DuBose has, at last, rejoined the football fray. It’s better late than never for the seventh-round pick who needs to quickly make up ground on undrafted free agent Malik Heath who is showing all sorts of abilities.

Already, DuBose has managed to execute a couple of eye-opening receptions in practice. However, his journey forward can’t afford any missteps. With a short timeframe, he finds himself in the position of needing to swiftly cover substantial ground. The margin for error is a luxury he simply can’t afford from this juncture onward.
