Terry is unlikely to ever get a contract to an NFL training camp
- Terry has a history of injuries
...Terry knows his size [5' 8" 187 lbs] and susceptibility to injury are negatives.
He played through shoulder and ankle injuries his first year in the CFL
and missed four games last season because of his left knee.
"People in the NFL know he can play," one NFL scout said. "
But he's got to be able to put together a full year's worth of work.
He's been hurt each year he's been there.
That's the biggest issue with him, I think."
Also, I believe he sat out a year with injuries in college.
Caulley understands.
I guess people could use the injury-prone thing against me,
but you can't control what happens to you when you're falling forward.
This year he is saying,
"I thought I had two productive years in the [CFL],
but I got caught in a situation where things
just didn't work out for this year
[for an NFL tryout]," Caulley said by phone.
...Of course, I'd like to get a shot at playing in the NFL,
but playing in the CFL has been fine for me."
"This is the last year of my contract, so we'll see what happens," Caulley said.
"If all goes well and I have another productive year, maybe
there will be no question marks, no gray areas, no doubts.
I get signed, and I have to go out and perform to make the team."
[i]Next year, he's hoping for another shot at the NFL.
- [/i]Terry will be past the age NFL teams want
to take a chance on players, even NFL veterans.
He will be 27 years old for the 2010 NFL season.[/i]
