nfl.com says he is 6'5'' and 215
Players Main Chas Gessner | #83 | WR Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Official Team Site Height: 6-5 Weight: 215 Age: 26 Born: 8/17/1981 Hyattsville , MD College: Brown Experience: 1st season High School: Our Lady of Good Counsel HS [Wheaton, MD] http://www.nfl.com/players/chasgessner/careerstats?id=GES693068
Gessner was signed because his DUI makes Lofa's DWI look tame by comparison
"TAMPA - A former Buccaneers player was arrested this morning for driving under the influence. According to an arrest affidavit: Tampa police stopped Charles Louis Gessner near Tampa Street and Kennedy Boulevard for driving the wrong way down a one-way street. Gessner admitted to drinking three bottles of beer. Breath tests showed his blood-alcohol level was 0.222 and 0.227." - Tampa Tribune http://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/jan/27/former-buc-player-arrested-dui/?sports-bucs
When I first read about this signing my impression was like Joe Pesci's in "My Cousin Vinny":
"My gosh, timmy, you found it!! The Missing link!!! Why didn't I see it before? The case is solved, we're going to the Superbowl." Etc. etc. I took the liberty of replacing a couple of words to make sense of the context here. How funny. Now watch, he'll have a pivotal play at some point this season.
Odds on Gessner making team?
