NFL Trade Rumors
Jaguars DB coach Anthony Perkins was asked about third-round DB Caleb Ransaw potentially playing safety instead of cornerback in his first season.
“Caleb’s doing awesome,” Perkins said. “We were very excited just during the draft process, we thought based on his skill set what he showed on tape, he’d be able to make that transition and play more at safety and he hasn’t disappointed. He’s done a tremendous job.”
“Every day’s a new day, every rep is a new rep, so he’s learning,” added Perkins. “All those safeties are learning, but he’s doing a tremendous job of picking it up. I think he’s super athletic. I think he’s got a very high ceiling in this league, and I’m excited to continue to see him grow within the scheme of our defense.”
C.J. Stroud did not throw during the Texans’ OTAs portion of their offseason program, but returned to full activity in minicamp. Stroud said his lack of participation in OTAs was because of his aggressive offseason training regimen, and any concerns were overblown.
“I was already throwing before you guys got to see me out there, pretty normally, I think y’all don’t have much to talk about so everything is blown up,” Stroud said, via DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. “I’m fine, man.”
Regarding dealing with shoulder soreness last season, Stroud points out he never required surgery and doesn’t consider it a big deal.
“I never thought too much of it. It’s not that big of [a deal]. And I did not get surgery or anything like that,” Stroud said. “I’m fine. It’s not as bad as people making it seem.”
Texans HC DeMeco Ryans said they are making it a priority to protect Stroud going forward.
“It’s important for me to just make sure we’re protecting him,” Ryans said. “To make sure we know what’s best for C.J. and not really worry about the outside opinions. Nobody knows the information about our players more than me.”
Titans WR Treylon Burks has not lost his faith after a tumultuous start to his professional career.
