CJ Ah You gets written up in the Football Outsiders Walkthrough as a fringe player to watch to make the Rams squad. Here’s what Mike Tanier has to say.
In a nutshell:A seventh-round draft pick by the Bills in 2007, Ah You spent the 2008 season on the Rams practice squad. He played well against the Jets last week, with a tackle for a loss and a near fumble recovery. He also has an awesome name.
Also Known For: Punching his teammate, BYU quarterback Brett Engemann, in the face during Engemann’s Pro Day. Agents now advise prospects to not invite anyone to Pro Day who wants to punch them in the face.
He’ll Make the Team Because: He’s a high-effort, high-intensity defender having his second straight strong preseason. At 275 pounds, he could fit as a tweener who moves inside on passing downs in Steve Spagnuolo’s defense.
He Won’t Make the Team Because: He’s an old prospect at 27. The Rams are deep and experienced at defensive end with Chris Long, Leonard Little, Victor Adeyanju, and James Hall, so Ah You must really make his presence felt.
Bold Forecast: A wave lineman for a few years, then Raiders head coach.

Yeah, I saw that today. Funny stuff, with a shred of truth in it. Or, smart stuff with a shred of humor? I haven’t decided which yet.
