Another plus for Fields is his existing relationship with his former Buckeyes teammate Garrett Wilson, who is joined in the room by Allen Lazard (6-3), who is looking to bounce back, and free agent Josh Reynolds (6-3), who played with Denver and Jacksonville last season.
"Allen Lazard had a good showing the first few weeks before he had that [chest] injury," Enunwa said. "That was a pretty tough injury that he's not really spoken of, but it's tough to come back from that and then go ahead and play at a high level again. If he can bring that out and be consistent, I think that's the biggest question with Allen Lazard, are you going to be consistent? And he can do that, be the number two. But right now, what I've seen from Josh Reynolds is he's capable of being number two and I think will push him."
Glenn, an elite DB in his day, knows an elite DB when he sees one and knows he's inherited one in fourth-year star Sauce Gardner. Yet even a guy who earned All-Pro honors in his first two years in the league can benefit from quality coaching. So in comes defensive backs/passing game coordinator Chris Harris, with 12 years experience, and assistant DB coach Dré Bly.
"And as a guy that has a lot of confidence in your building, you have to be willing to be coached," Enunwa said. "And even though it's Year 4, he's a vet, so he knows exactly what he needs to do. He also has to be willing to say 'Hey listen, I don't know everything, let me go ahead and listen to what you have to say."
