Pace was excited to get back to work, and the opportunity to have a longer offseason compared to his college career.
"I was ready to go right after like two, four months; it was pretty long," Pace said. "In college you don't really get that, you just go straight back into it. But it was nice to have a little offseason. I came back in and just wanted to get better at everything, footwork, coverage, my eyes, seeing everything."
Safety Josh Metellus shed some light on how he's seen Pace grow over the past year.
"I would say confidence. Undrafted linebacker, having communication but you're still trying to build trust with the guys. He's feeling more confident with the way he speaks to us in the huddle, the way goes about his work and is a lot more intentional," Metellus explained. "I think he made a big step this offseason, and he's still trying to do as much as he can to learn every day and be that student on the field. He's doing a good job."
