Nicholas Morrow, linebacker

Those of you who have been clamoring to see Nakobe Dean on the field will see your wishes granted. He will carry the green dot on his helmet and play the role of quarterback on the defense. The next guy on the depth chart appears to be Nicholas Morrow. Think of him as the 'Kyzir White' to Nakobe's 'T.J. Edwards'. There's an interesting dynamic at work here though.

As far as the linebacker unit is concerned, we heard a lot about Nolan Smith and the steadily-improving Christian Elliss. Morrow didn't really stand out during the two practices where media was allowed access.

He'll make the team. He will contribute, but that's something to keep an eye on.

Greedy Williams, cornerback

Yeah... Greedy Williams didn't produce a ton of fireworks during those open practices to the media either, at least not the level of pop that we look for from a former second-round draft choice and NFL starter. There's also this to think about. He isn't guaranteed a roster spot.

Darius Slay, James Bradberry, Avonte Maddox, and Kelee Ringo will make the team. That means seven cornerbacks are potentially competing for two spots on the 53-man roster. That number swells to eight if you include defensive back Tristin McCollum who stands out because he's wearing Brian Westbrook's number.
