Chad Ochocinco faces uphill battle to make Patriots roster – NFL.com
Last night’s 53-man roster projection exercise made this abundantly clear. It really comes down to a battle royale between the guys below.
The question marks: Deion Branch, Jabar Gaffney, Donte’ Stallworth, Chad Ochocinco Anthony Gonzalez There simply isn’t room for more than 2-3 of the players above to make the team. We’d guess that only two would make the final cut. Gaffney is probably the safest bet because of his recent production and the fact that Tom Brady loves the guy. Branch would be next for similar reasons, although he’s slowed down a step or two. He’s not a lock.
