Cornell Wheeler picked up where he left off from the spring.

With new helmet communication it will help but not as easy as people think with how teams use tempo.

Gilliom and several players are cross training. He said over half the LB are training at more than one position.

With no Rich Miller it is a leadership by committee.

JB was good a year ago and now having a full year and earned respect of locker room. In terms of camp he's the guy who is showing the most.

Remembers watching Jon Jon Kamara on film and thought he could be that hybrid player. Now you can see his body shaping up and will be a good player. He covers a lot of ground. Took over from Brantley as best speed guy in LB.

The game has slowed down for Alex Raich. Can play physical and play the boundary.

Veteran group of players.

Brantley has tremendous skillset and still putting things together.

Jacorey Stewart is athletic but just showed up.

Taiwan Berryhill got slowed down last year. He has a blister right now. They have worked on finishing plays because he was in position last year to make plays. He's playing different positions.
