Key Takeaways:

1) The younger corners are much improved from the spring camp.

Josh Drayden, Camryn Bynum, and Traveon Beck are all holding their own in practice and playing extremely well. The secondary is looking like it will have a very bright future.

2) The running backs are going to be to be one of the strongest units this year.

Between Vic Enwere, Tre Watson, Khalfani Muhammad, and possibly some others, Cal is totally set at running back in both the present and in the future.
