NFL Trade Rumors
Bears HC Ben Johnson spoke about TE Colston Loveland‘s work ethic and expressed excitement to see whether he can make a second-year jump.
“I love what he brings to the table,” Johnson said, via Bears Wire. “He’s one of the most consistent players I’ve been around. And that’s saying a lot for a young guy. I think it takes a while before guys can truly understand what it means to be a professional. But he’s in early, he’s always in his playbook, he’s always taking notes. I think he really thrives with being available and the pressure moments. That’s the type of guy that he wants to be. (He has) A lot of trust with the coaching staff and with the quarterbacks. I’m really happy with where he’s at right now. We’ve been able to take the route tree to the next level and it’s something we’re going to continue to develop in training camp as well.”
Lions WR coach Scottie Montgomery commented on the growth he has seen from WR Jameson Williams this offseason, including Williams asking questions about how to attack opposing defenses.
“You know, we’ve really worked hard this offseason, even just on the phone talking about the detail that it takes to go from being good to truly elite in our game. And then the things from a mentality standpoint, the way that we go about when we’re working, like not even just the start of a drill, but also just the finish,” Montgomery said, via Kory Woods of MLive.com. “Everything that we do, his detail, his eyes, his catch points, his checkpoints, everything that we’re doing now, we did March, April, man, it showed up. We’re really excited about where he is right now. This is definitely, by far, been his best offseason, his best chance to grow as a player since we’ve been here for a number of reasons, but he’s done a good job.”
Vikings RT Brian O’Neill said the team fell short of its goal last season and said that it’s motivation for them to be better this season.
