WR has me confused. I would have thought Neptune and Koger were switched here.

Everything else looks kinda how I thought it would.

Really like our size at WR, DL and LB.

Looks like Kail Ellis has moved full time to guard.

Champ Anthony all over the place in the secondary. I think that unit is going to have a lot of rotations and looks depending on matchups. Basically have two starters at every position

Interesting side note, they asked Jo Simmons who was the hardest to block and he said Jared Smith, but right behind him Darion Smith, that boy has some twitch to him.

I thought the same I thought Neptune was all slot. Maybe they want to start out running and want bigger bodies on the field to start the game.

I remember one of the coaches referring to exactly what you are saying go crazy.

They werent trying to find a spot for Champ, they wanted him to get practice at all the positions cause they might need him at different spots depending on the offensive alignment.

I remember last year, particularly the back end, and specifically Vandy. They realized, while Kaleb Harris is great at run support, he just did not have the wheels to keep up with their fourth receiver and he was repeatedly getting burned.

Glad to see Michael Trigg not on their depth chart.

My most anticipated to see: Pleasant returning kicks.

It has not been discussed much at all here or elsewhere in the Auburnsphere this offseason, but we just have to get better at Special Teams. It will and has lost games for us. It has been not good for a while and I am looking for them to get it straight and it be a strength for us instead of an area where we almost can't bare to look.

Not us related, but saw where Malcolm Simmons was listed as 3rd string on Texas Tech's depth chart.

Don’t know how good our OL is going to be but I do like starting 4 seniors and a Jr. and a Sr. TE
