- The more routes WR Trent Walker runs, the more it looks like he will be starting by the time the fall rolls around. He’s able to create separation on most of the route tree, and has rarely dropped any balls. He and Gulbranson have a pretty good connection, those two linked up for a tight-window crosser in 11-11 for over 20 yards.

- The defense has picked up right where they left off from the first two weeks of spring practices. While that’s expected with the defense being ahead of the offense in spring ball, Keith Heyward’s unit appears to have found their footing even with all the new guys that have joined the team for this upcoming season.

- According to special teams coach Jamie Christian, kicker Everett Hayes has been hitting from 60-62 yards in closed practices. They’re working on consistently making his kicks regardless of range, but Christian has liked what he’s seen from Hayes after these first couple of weeks.
