I was shopping around the 53 man rosters tonight to fill some freshly-opened spots on my dynasty team and learned about this guy. Very interesting story. I decided to take a flyer on him because his story is so compelling. Lacrosse player turned QB turned NFL WR. I'm not going to say he's a lock for pro success, but it's amazing to switch sports, switch positions, and still lock down a spot on an NFL 53 on your first try. That indicates unreal innate athletic talent.
Reminds me a lot of the Drew Bennett story. Bennett was a multi-sport star in high school who was lightly recruited despite a lot of raw talent. Walked on as a QB at UCLA and eventually won the starting job. Lost the starting QB job and converted to WR for his last year or two, where he was stuck behind two guys with bigger reputations (Brian Poli-Dixon and Freddie Mitchell). Got a UDFA invite to Titans camp, won a roster spot in a crowded WR room, and eventually had some success for them.
Maybe this Bernhardt is cut in a month and never heard from again, but looking across the landscape of random dart throws, his story is more intriguing than the usual Cinderella. Maybe this is an Antonio Gates, Tyreek Hill, or Drew Bennett deal where the college career and circumstances really obscured a special talent. Makes you wonder where he would've been drafted if he played 3-4 years of SEC football.
