2. QB Tommy DeVito appears to be like a lot extra answerable for the offense than he did presently a yr in the past.
That is sensible, proper? DeVito was rushed onto the sector after Drew Lock obtained damage and confirmed he is aware of what he’s doing operating Brian Daboll’s system.
3. Linebacker Dyontae Johnson is popping heads in coaching camp and the first-year participant from Toledo had a sack of Nate Sudfeld on the primary defensive collection, displaying good quickness within the open subject.
