Vinny Curry, Connor Barwin, Brandon Graham, Marcus Smith, Bryan Braman

Vinny Curry and Brandon Graham are the two starters at the End spots, Connor Barwin fills the void as their backups due to the move from 3-4 to 4-3 in the offseason. The much maligned Marcus Smith keeps his spot; moving back to his natural position should help see an increase in production. Bryan Braman will battle rookie Alex McCalister for the final spot. Braman’s work on special teams and his size gives him the nod. McCalister will likely be a practice squad member.
