No surprise to Hilton, who worked out with him in the offseason.
“He’s going to be a big asset to our offense – especially in the slot,” Mike said. “He’s a bigger guy and can obviously run. He’s going to be a big target for us.” pic.twitter.com/s4zm5yOT4X
4. Evan McPherson practiced FGs on a goalpost that is half the normal width. He was 26 for 31 last year (84%) and all 5 misses were from beyond 50 yards.

“I’m going into my 6th year and it’s the first time I have some job security,” he said. “That’s kind of nice, but part of the reason I think I improved a lot was you keep yourself right on that edge.” pic.twitter.com/gYNb60kUpw

1. Rookie DT McKinley Jackson is a powerful man with an explosive first step.
“He’s got a lot of strength and he’s got to play nose for us,” said Sam Hubbard. “That’s one of the most important positions on the field.” pic.twitter.com/aqBdSYx9dN
