Justin Gilbert is back at QB after passing for more than 1,300 yards and nine scores last year. At WR, Howard Brown will be a top option in the passing game. Who will start at RB is a major question. On defense, linebacker play should be a strength with Shaquille Ross, Kirby Enis, Anthony Griffin and Bryce Baggett all returning. The schedule is tough, but some key players are back, and if newcomers emerge, it could be a good season.
