It may have only been his third full NFL practice, but Arvell Reese was all over the field. It started with very strong coverage during 7-on-7 drills, where he ran step for step with Devin Singletary on a wheel route to force an incompletion. Later during 11-on-11s, Reese sniffed out a screen pass to Tracy for what would have been a loss of a few yards. The No. 5 overall pick has put his speed and athleticism on full display over this first week of OTAs.
Towards the end of 7-on-7s, Dart connected on a couple of nice passes, one to tight end Tanner Connor across the middle and one to wide receiver Ryan Miller towards the sideline.
Brandon Allen threaded the needle on a throw during 7-on-7 drills, hitting Isaiah Hodgins for a big gain. The veteran quarterback had a strong practice as he later hit Connor over the middle for a first down. Allen also connected with wide receiver Malachi Fields on a pass towards the sideline, sneaking the ball through a couple of defenders.
Several defenders made some notable plays, as well. Paulson Adebo broke up a pass during situation period early in practice and later had strong coverage on a route up the seam to force an incompletion during 7-on-7s.
Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds had what would have been a sack during 11-on-11 drills, as did outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux later on during the high red zone period.
In addition to his interception earlier in practice, Beau Brade also got his hands on the ball to force an incompletion near the goal line during the final team period.
OTAs: May 27-29, June 1-4
