As training camp starts to really get going, there a few positions with some roster spots open. A position where a younger guy stands a chance at earning the spot is as the fifth wide out.
After the release of James Thrash this off season, a huge hole was left and the team brought in several players to challenge for the spot. From what I saw at camp Saturday, rookies Marko Mitchell and Keith Eloi, along with four year veteran Roydell Williams look like they are leading for the spot.
Of this group, Eloi stood apart from the others. He held on to one throw while he was falling, and seemed to run his routes with a little more speed than the others.
This will be a competition worth watching. Last year Vinny Cerrato kept all of his draft choices, so it would seem Mitchell has the inside track to a roster spot, but if Eloi keeps making catches like he did Saturday, they're going to have to take a long look at him.
