Meglen was a receiver that in my opinion was in the running for WR MVP and was impressive throughout the camp. He was a player that was able to create a lot of separation and come down with some difficult catches, showing some strong hands. He was able to come down with a great catch over top of a defender showing his catch radius and ability to win the 50/50 ball.
Highlights
Walker was a player that showed a good short burst being able to get to top speed quickly. He was able to show off his hands throughout the day and was smooth in his route running, making catches look easy as well. He can get in and out of his breaks quickly on defense and has good recovery speed, being able to play trail technique and came down with an INT. He was a player with good technique who you will need to keep an eye on moving forward.
Highlights
Jones was a technically sound player that was smooth in his route running ability. He was able to create space and showed some soft hands when hauling in the ball. In drill work he was able to not have many drops and was able to go up and high point the ball. In one on ones he was able to show strong hands being able to win contested catches.
Highlights
Powell is a QB that has been making some noise this year and will be a player that will be on peoples radar quickly. He was smooth throughout drill work showing good footwork and being able to get on top of his throws. He was a good decision maker when it got to 3vs2, not forcing it to and hitting the open man. He was good anticipating his throws, hitting receivers as they were coming out of their cut and being on time with his throws.
Weeks was a player that was able to turn some heads during drill work. He was able to show good foot work throughout and had a fast release, being able to get the ball out quickly when he got to the top of his drop. He was able to show good zip on passes when he was rolling out and getting his hips through. During one on ones he was able to show nice touch on intermediate passes being able to fit it into tight windows.

Ridenour showed some leadership ability flying to the front and leading every drill. Was a technical player that showed the ability to change levels and get north and south quickly. He was fundamentally sound throughout drill work and was able to show some elusiveness as well.
Vasquez on offense showed good lateral quickness and had a good lateral burst. He was coachable and implemented tips that the coach gave. At LB he looked more comfortable, he was smooth during pursuit work and was able to come up quickly. He showed a good base and stayed low to then explode out and make a play. Showed the ability to be good in coverage during 3vs2, being able to break up some passes and lock down his zone.
