NFL Trade Rumors
Colts WR Adonai Mitchell feels that things are going to come together for him in his second pro season, now that he already has a year of experience under his belt.
“Last year, it just felt like I was ripping and running from the start of camp to the end of the year,” Mitchell said Saturday, per the team’s website. “But I got the ability to get my first offseason under my belt, got a lot of time to, first of all, relax and work at the same time. And now, we in year two now, and I just feel more comfortable, whether it’s in the meeting rooms, walkthroughs. I’m not focused on what the play is, what do I have to do? I’m focused on how I’m doing it, and why I’m doing what I’m doing. And that’s just, I feel like that’s kind of year two things.”
“I knew it would eventually come together,” Mitchell continued. “I know my hands work, I know my routes work. It was all just a matter of time. Just take it day by day, man. I’m not even looking at the season or the preseason…just taking everything day by day, step by step, and just keep marching forward.”
Colts OC Jim Bob Cooter weighed in on the hard work Mitchell has put in so far when given reps.
“He’s done a really nice job making plays,” Cooter said. “This past week, he’s had a bunch of opportunities, like all these receivers. Sometimes you get a few more, you get a few less each week.

Jaguars HC Liam Coen and QB Trevor Lawrence offered high praise for rookie RB LeQuint Allen, who was a day three draft pick for Jacksonville.
“I think LeQuint Allen continues to show up in terms of just doing the right thing all the time,” Coen told reporters. “He just plays hard. He plays fast. He made a great move in space over here.”
“LeQuint’s been awesome,” Lawrence said during minicamp. “Pass protection, it seems like he really understands it. Great hands. Hard worker. I’ve been impressed with his attitude and how he carries himself.”
Texans CB ****Derek Stingley, Jr. said he’s already moved on from his contract extension and is hoping to prove Houston right by locking him up for the future.
“I appreciate them for believing in me and all that, but I just got to prove that they were right, whatever, but I really forgot about that to be honest,” Stingley said, via Click2Houston. “I’m just out here just with my teammates, practicing.”
Texans HC DeMeco Ryans said that Stingley and WR Nico Collins stay after practice and challenge each other.
“What I’ve seen from him throughout camp, Stingley is just consistent,” Ryans siad. “*He’s quiet over there on the edge and that’s what...
