Just thinking about the Parks injury and its consequences... I'm not too broken up over it because a) the guy is a proven NFL defender and should be a good bit of reinforcements mid-season.  Something this team in particular has needed year after year in the secondary.  But also b), it both mentally and by way of necessity gives Mills some clarity that he will get a full look at the new position and show he belongs there.  Its on him to succeed now, after "failing" at CB.

I like ensuring Wallace gets reps now.  Even if he makes mistakes this will have him better prepared for later on getting real,  regular season game reps.

Might not have gotten many as the 4th safety.

A shoulder stabilize brace is designed to limit the range of motion to keep the arm from moving in to its most vulnerable position where dislocations most commonly occur.

Its common for footbal players to play in the brace above. Probably not a WR though.  You can see how limiting that is. You literally can not lift your arm further than what is pictured.  

When I was at Bucknell we had a LB wearing that and his shoulder still wouldn't stay in. There no brace that can really do the job as well as the internal structures.

 

A WR would likely have to wear something much less protective that allows more motion.  Such as a shoulder Spica wrap with a large ACE bandage as pictured below.  They're doing it wrong in the picture and pulling the shoulder forward.  Should be going the opposite way and pulling posterior across the front of the shoulder,  but you get the idea.

And this will be really minimally effective either way.

At least that's not a shirtless selfie.   Still though... so many times, I pop in and this is what I see...

JJAW certainly looks different. Slow, but more like an NFL receiver than this

I am not that surprised. I thought they’d try to trade him earlier this offseason  I actually suggested it. But his 6.5 cap number probably didn’t make it worthwhile.

I think wallace is gonna be a stud. I wouldn’t be shocked if mills struggles he eventually replaces him midway or the end of the year. Loved him at Clemson. I think he offers a ton of versatility and i believe in a year or two will be a leader on that defense. 

my favorite Two picks were wallace and Hightower. I liked reagor but those two for where they got them the value was really good.

Really like to see all the talking and teaching with Slay. Guy prides himself on his footwork so to give the other DBs and WRs an insight into what he's doing is nice. Even if he sounds as eloquent as Brandon Graham when he's hyped but that sheet is valuable.

Kind of an exaggeration, it looks better because of the overpursuit (who was that?).  Still nice to see from a guy that was known mostly for power.

So i guess its pretty much a lock he's the #4 then?

Or do they go light at RB to start the season.  16 PS spots to fill, gotta think an unproven RB would make it.

The Buccaneers have emerged as a serious suitor for RB Leonard Fournette, sources say. Not done, but there's serious interest there. So another weapon for Tom Brady may be on its way.
 
Wouldn't be shocked 

Beast getting secretly pumped.  :lol:

When he comes back into the screen it looks like something 1. Ruling out who it obviously isn't, it would be Mills (don't see a visor), NRC (looks too big), Trevor Williams (dont think he was back yet for this and probably not with the 1's), Shareef Miller (who i'm blaming)

Oh, NVM, far right is Dom DiSandro
