No one better to sum this all up than Jerry Thornton. Just total hilarity all around, and pretty much the moment I saw Demps wanted to do both I figured his days in a Pats uniform were done.

He does all the things the other guy was doing, but he’s younger right now – suddenness, route savvy, a feel for leveraging defenders and finding openings,” the scout said. “You name it he did it. … Watch (the San Francisco game from last year) – he (stood) out.

If we were to spin all this forward, the same Ty Warren-type story could be told with linebacker Jerod Mayo, who would have been a top free agent had he not signed a contract extension during the 2011 regular season. Why isn’t Mayo mentioned more when it comes to key Patriots re-signings this offseason? The answer: Because we often only judge what’s in front of us and sometimes miss the overall context of what goes in to building a team.
