Jason Dillon returns as a capable signal caller that combined for nearly 3,000 yards of offense between the run and pass games last year and scored 34 times. Donavan Russell is back at RB, and receivers James Hall and Clifton Rhodes are back. On defense, Travis Burton is back at LB, while Ed Jones anchors the line and T.J. Kelly captains the secondary. Talent is present after a 10-1 season, but positions, as always, need to be filled by players who did not start last year.
