The second day of training camp, these guys might have to come in and play.Tom Heckert
He's going to be a really good football player. I don't think the bench press is going to hurt his draft stock. He's a guy you haven't heard a ton about, but I think he's really good. He's a great competitor, he makes plays, and he's smart.
