Patriots' Bam Childress making opportunities and lands with the Eagles

Wide receiver Bam Childress is not a household name by any means, but you would not know that by the way he was playing during the Patriots training camp in 2007.
Childress had been involved in special teams drills for punt returns, kick off returns and has also been part of the second and third groups catching passes from quarterbacks Matt Cassel and Matt Gutierrez.
Childress has been sort of a fan favorite during the past couple years in training camp and preseason games, but has yet to make a big impression during the season. Childress gave the impresion of being a younger Troy Brown as he also played on defense.
Childress also brought a bit more versatility then as special teams player, wide receiver and defensive back. He also practiced and lined up a few times at running back.
So where are his opportunities? Since the Patriots had signed quite a few wide receivers, most notably Randy Moss and Wes Welker during the 2007 offseason, one would think Childress would have been worried about making the team.
Before the 2007 season began, Steve Conroy at Boston.com gave a look at Bam Childress and his fight for a roster spot and not the competition in camp.
Unfortunately, Childress never made it off the practice squad in 2007 and it was announced that Childress has signed a 2-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.
We wish Bam Childress all the success in his journey through the NFL and hope he is able to start for another team.
