Let me first say, it's extremely difficult to know how each player is truly doing just by hearing from practice observers. We all will get a chance to watch these players in actual games starting this Thursday night and then we can start drawing our own conclusions.
Based on what I have heard, read and see, here are some positives come out of camp:
Offense
-Tyron Smith might be having the best camp out of any player. Very pivotal season as he must show he can stay healthy for the majority of the season.
-Glowing reports recently about Connor McGovern, heard he is actually taking starting snaps now at Left Guard, where the other Connor is working as the backup center. McGovern is one of the most improved according to the coaches. Not sure if he is ahead of Williams, but he can be in the conversation now.
-Zeke looks like he really transformed his body this off-season. His lack of explosive plays has been a big issue, but everything said is very encouraging at this point.
Defense
-Just like McGovern, hearing similar things about Gallimore. Gallimore might be that 2nd yr year that takes a big jump. Let's also remember McGovern in essence was just a rookie too last yr.
-Randy Gregory is getting rave reviews, not just as a pass rusher, but also against the run. Everything is there for him to have that breakout yr.
-LVE is flying around again and having a very productive camp. They moved him back to his natural weakside position. Just like Tyron, must show he can play a full season.
-Parsons has star potential, making many wow plays every practice. His maturity is the biggest surprise to me as he looks like he is taking the coaching.
-Many good things about the secondary, but let's not get too crazy yet, as they are playing against street fa type of backup QB's. Diggs is another one who looks to make the 2nd yr jump. Canady has been a surprise. Kazee continues to always been around the football, which is what you want a safety to be like.
