UDFA and the role of the fan

So since the lockout is on at the moment, the team's front office cannot officially contact players of any type including unsigned rookies. It doesn't mean the fan cannot contact players and in theory try to bias them towards your team.

To that end I was poking around the twitter account of Ian Williams (IWilliams95) hoping to see something like he loves pirogies or he's looking for a really livable city or he likes to see a lot of different types of bridges on a day to day basis. No such luck, I did find out that he's friends with our second rounder Marcus Gilbert (MGilbert67) and knows at least Mike Pouncey. At one point he mentions his agent is Drew Rosenhouse also.

Does anyone think the fan could be influential in the choices these UDFA make? I'd like to at least tell him that our Nose Tackles are 33 and 35 years old. Thoughts?
