Minicamp #2 wrap up/OTA preview
Before the first of 14 days of organized team activities (OTAs) start on Wednesday, here's a look at the best and worst from the second minicamp.
Five who looked good
1. Corey Williams: The third-year defensive tackle got good pressure with his pass rush and had multiple deflected passes.
2. Arliss Beach: Though the undrafted rookie free agent running back was never a starter at Kentucky, he looks like he might have a chance at the NFL. He sees holes well, runs hard and has impressed the team's scouts and coaches.
3. Scott Wells: The center is finally out of Mike Flanagan's shadow and appears to be a natural leader and has good command of the zone-blocking scheme.
4. Ruvell Martin: The first-year receiver looks like he's something more than just a training camp body. He might not make the roster because of the draft picks taken ahead of him, but he might be able to play in the NFL because he runs good routes and catches the ball easily.
5. Ingle Martin: The rookie quarterback made his share of mistakes but he made a play that makes you think he's got something special. He rolled out to his right and on the run threw a perfect 15-yard touchdown pass to Ruvell Martin during a red-zone drill.
Five who looked bad
1. Donnell Washington: The defensive tackle who was held out of the first minicamp because he was out of shape lost a measly seven pounds in the two weeks between camps. A 350-pound man should be able to lose seven pounds in a day or two.
2. Donald Lee: The tight end who contributed last year had several drops and penalties.
3. Ahmad Carroll: The hot-tempered cornerback didn't show any signs of maturity when he got into a fist-fight with Ruvell Martin.
4. Marc Boerigter: The free agent receiver had a chance to make what would have been difficult catches and two balls thrown behind him in the Saturday afternoon practice but couldn't haul in either one. Special receivers probably make those plays.
5. Leo Bookman: The former track star at Kansas hasn't played football in a couple of years, and it showed. He's a big-time project as a receiver because he doesn't understand the subtleties of route running and doesn't catch the ball easily.
