Chas Gessner knows there’s something out there for him in professional athletics.

So far, that something has just eluded his grasp.

Gessner was an All-American lacrosse player at Brown but didn’t see a particularly lucrative future in that sport, his first love. He gave it up as a senior in order to concentrate on football and the NFL.

He went to training camp with the New England Patriots as an undrafted rookie in 2003 and made an immediate impression, but landed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. He went over to NFL Europe and earned all-league honors the next spring but just couldn’t crack a very deep Patriots receiving corps. He got another shot with the Jets in the summer of ’05 and had essentially locked up the fifth receiver spot, only to see New York make a last-minute decision to keep only four.

Unfortunately, Chas is gonna get caught up in the numbers game unless there is (GULP!!) an injury.

Chas was blocking with some serious tenacity the other night. You know Gruden loves that. I hope the kid gets more opportunity against the Phins Saturday night.
