Coach Jerry Walker welcomes the return of QB Andrew Rivera and 1,000-yard-rusher Mike Davis. Only ten players are gone off of last year's roster, and this is a veteran group in 2008. On defense, Darren Mickens leads the secondary, while Tony Sifuentes captains the Linebackers. After a 6-5 record last season, the talent is in the fold for an improved year.
