And may I say that this year’s camp reporters seem to be rather objective and non-hyperbolic? To their credit.
Some encouraging gleanings in no particular order thus far:
Goff is said to look stronger and sharper, more in command of the O.
Gurley looking downright healthy. Certainly not hobbling around.
Henderson has flashed in every practice, and showing signs of being all over the playbook.
Everett has also flashed. Could be a big factor in this, his 3rd year.
Kupp is said to be looking as good as new, maybe even better. By no less an authority than Sean McVay.
Joseph-Day has impressed almost everybody this offseason. What a pleasant surprise.
Many have said that Matthews looks like he still has “it”. If so, that’s beyond huge.
Lots of kind words for Fowler, too. Looking like he’s still ascending, which is another beyond huge thing.
There have been hints that Boom and Allen have been looking pretty darned good, too. Someone reported that Boom more than held his own vs AD yesterday during padded practice. McVay said he wanted to stress Boom and Allen against some quality DL players, including some stunts and other trickery. Sounds like it’s working.
Reynolds has really caught the eye of many this camp. Looking like a terrific 4th WR, tbh. And some amazing injury insurance.
Weddle might be the steal of the offseason for this team. Worth his weight in gold for his leadership, communication, and experience benefits. All the other members of the starting secondary have gone out of their way to praise Weddle and his impact already. Very, very impressive.
That’s a helluva lot of good news already.
Hopefully, others will flash as we progress through camp and preseason.

Someone to flash at Edge opposite Fowler. At least enough to backup Matthews.
Rapp
Gaines
Long
An upgrade over JoJo to be our PR (please)
Maybe a 3rd string QB to develop after Bortles departs next year?
Here’s hoping...
