Re: And so it begins...
I thought it was a little weird when I heard PJ Williams is getting the majority of the first team reps at nickel in training camp. He couldn’t really be slotted ahead of PRob right?

PRob played some excellent ball up in Philly two seasons ago however he's 32 and coming off a season ending ankle injury. After the dust settles, it could become Gardner-Johnson's job at the nickle spot. |

Gardner will be more of a heavy nickel vs the other two, and after the up and down practice Vonn Bell had today, I think it's safe to say that the plan will be for Gardner to move up when Bell departs via Free Agency... |

We will be dominant at every position group. Even LBr. |

Re: And so it begins...
Grayson called the Saints and got his foot in the door. No matter what happens, he has some serious motivation because this is his 3rd attempt trying to make an NFL roster. He seems to be doing enough to make the team. If he has a couple of good returns in PS I think he's a lock. Good Luck!
