Clifton Geathers - DL - Eagles

Seahawks claimed DE Clifton Geathers off waivers from the Dolphins.

The Seahawks have done an admirable job of talent collection under first-year GM John Schneider, and Geathers possesses plenty of potential at 6'8/281 with nearly 37-inch arms. He'll compete for a spot at five technique.

Clifton Geathers - DL - Eagles

Dolphins waived DE Clifton Geathers.

He goes to make room for Chris Baker. Geathers is a physically imposing prospect at 6'8/281, but the Fins think they'll get more production from the undersized Baker. Geathers is likely to resurface on the practice squad.

Clifton Geathers - DL - Eagles

Dolphins signed DL Clifton Geathers from the practice squad.

First-round pick DL Jared Odrick (foot, fibula) was recently placed on injured reserve after missing all but Week 1. The Dolphins used the available roster spot to replace Odrick on their front seven, and their 16th-ranked run defense has a daunting matchup Week 7 when the Steelers come to town.

Clifton Geathers - DL - Eagles

Dolphins claimed DE Clifton Geathers off waivers from the Browns.

Geathers has a lot of work to do to reach his full potential, but he's a mammoth of a man at 6-foot-9 and 280-plus pounds with a sub-5.0 second forty-yard dash time. He'll be developed as the Dolphins' fifth end this season.

Clifton Geathers - DL - Eagles

Browns signed sixth-round DE Clifton Geathers to a multi-year contract.

A boom-or-bust prospect with freakish length at 6'8/281 with 36 3/4-inch arms and a sub-5.0 forty, Geathers has Calais Campbell-like upside. His motor ran hot and cold at South Carolina, however, and he certainly could've used another year under Steve Spurrier instead of leaving school early.

Clifton Geathers - DL - Eagles

South Carolina DL Clifton Geathers' arms measured in at 36 3/4 inches at the Gamecocks' Pro Day.

Geathers, who stood on his 4.96 forty time, also has whopping 11 1/8-inch hands -- bigger than Alabama man child Terrence Cody's. A college underachiever, Geathers will be viewed as an extremely high-upside project, likely by 3-4 teams as a defensive end. He's a middle-round prospect.
