Players who surprised
Landon Young
Getting first-team reps and many players have been commenting on his hard work to get there as only a second-year player. Ryan Ramczyk said this on Thursday about Young, “It’s always hard coming in as a rookie to pick up the entire playbook and understand everything that’s going on. So, I think he’s done a really good job at that throughout the course of last year, and then coming into this year, I think he’s able to let it loose a little bit more, play a little bit faster, but also at the same time, he’s able to work on different techniques and get a little a little bit more concentration on things that he needs to focus on. And I think he’s done a really good job of being able to take that rookie year and then transition and keep getting better.”
Paulson Adebo
Had some nice pass break-ups in the 11 on 11 drills. Adebo broke up a pass from Winston that was intended for Kevin White.
