Training Camp Notes
If you're looking for a sleeper defensive star in the league for 2009 it might be safety Abram Elam. He's one of the smarter defensive backs in football and uses those smarts to make up for moderate speed and athleticism.

Notes
Rashard Mendenhall is one of those players that when two people look at him can see different things. Mike Freeman thinks he looked brilliant and explosive. To others, he’s had an ordinary camp, and still must prove himself.
