—As he walked out with fellow tryout players Anthoula Kelly and Tyson Graham, cornerback Channing Stribling said, “Let ‘em know we’re the first ones out here.” Done.


Kyle Allen and Will Grier weren’t far behind that first group. The quarterbacks walked out together, and it was nice to see Allen continue to guide Grier through his first practice. Yes, they each threw passes. Some were good; some were OK. It’d be ridiculous to try to provide a breathless play-by-play of how each looked. It’s way too early to be breaking down the backup competition.


—The entire session was a glorified walkthrough. Guys were in ball caps and jerseys. So these observations should help give you a football fix, but they shouldn’t be taken as all that substantive.


—Not surprisingly, first-round pick Brian Burns spent the bulk of his time with the linebackers, work that included practicing drop-backs with linebacker coach Steve Russ.
