Plenty of good targets are available in the passing game, with WRs Jorge Ramirez, A.J. Gomez and Stefan Rincon all back. On defense, the LBs should be a strength with Derek Hale and Corbin King returning. The secondary will be led by Rion Smalls and Roger Wueweler. Another solid season is expected, especially if a newcomer or two step up in the trenches.
