Key takeaways:
- Jordan Veasy and Vic Wharton are new guys who could see some quality time this year. Wharton’s a burner who is starting to improve his game through his hands and crisp route-running. Veasy was thought to be more of a possession receiver, but is starting to show some speed that could turn him into a useful slot receiver.
- Offensive line is looking really good. Patrick Mekari and Semisi Uluave are some of the backups who stood out today, looking really good in blocking drills. They will be well-equipped to survive even if Aaron Cochran isn’t ready to go against Hawaii.
- Traveon Beck has a bright future. Beck has been a PBU- and interception-machine and has definitely caught the attention of the coaches. Do not be surprised if he is part of the cornerback rotation this year.
- Chad Hansen could have a special year this year. Combining speed and crisp route-running, Hansen could very well break out as the most experienced of the bunch and be a true number-one wideout.
