<p>Lloyd is an athletic receiver with speed that he was able to showcase last week scoring two touchdowns to start the season.

<p>Lesa is an athletic back that runs well between the tackles and can be bruising back to bounce off tacklers.

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Johnson is an athletic defensive end with bend and burst to be at the LOS. Has good use of hands as a pass rusher to make quick contact and accelerate to the QB. He'll have to go through McGuinn, an under the radar prospect that shows explosiveness as a run blocker and will need to be at his best to go up against Johnson. Catch these two at the LOS to see who will be dominant in the trenches. </p>
