Clint Oldenburg gets another lease on NFL life on New York Jets practice squad
I predicted that New England Patriots late round 2007 draft picks Mike Elgin and Clint Oldenburg would end up on practice squads this season, I just didn’t think that they both would be snagged by the poorly coached New York Jets after getting dumped by the Patriots. But that’s what’s happened. Elgin was added to the Jets practice squad only couple of days after the September 2 training camp roster reduction. On September 20, Jets added Oldenburg as well. Oldenburg is bigger of the two, but Elgin has good skills. Both of them may have a shot at making the team’s 53-man roster next year, depending on how they progress and what kind of blocking schemes the Jets decide to use.
Below is a picture of Elign (#60) and Oldenburg (#76) as Patriots during a pre-season game. Oldenburg remains number 76 with the Jets, but Elgin has switched to #64.
