Last season
Shavers - true freshman
Bullock - solid veteran
Thompson - journeyman
Gbayor - on the rise
Wright - versatile defender

2025
Shavers - possible breakout year
Watson-Trent-serious productivity
McCullough-athletic freak
Wright-versatile veteran
Jones and Merritt - have been told to get ready to play

Would have been nice to retain GBayor, but Watson-Trent is a tackling machine. Is it possible that McCullough plays river?

I think we'll be good at LB this year. I'm personally most worried about the OL performance followed by the DL performance.

The question I have is whether there is any plan to look at McCullough at Rover. He seems like a guy you want on the field and not in a rotation. Can he handle that volume?

I think he will play mostly at rover. Hopefully mostly in the box and coveting TE’s like Giff did in ‘23.
