Sam Hoff from Montana asks:
"How is Tommy Mellott fairing in camp?"
Learning an entirely new position during your first NFL training camp isn't an easy task. Nevertheless, Tommy Mellott has embraced the challenge.
The first week of camp, Mellott largely saw the field on special teams. Tom McMahon has placed him in position to try out kick and punt returns and also work with the coverage team. In the last couple of practices I've watched, he's been earning more reps on offense with a few catches from Aidan O'Connell and Cam Miller in team period.
And while adjusting to a new position at the next level, his experience playing quarterback has helped him more than he'd realize.
"I essentially knew where people would be at what timing," Mellott said. "I do believe that I still have that intuition feeling as a receiver, but yeah, there's so many different details, and there's so much."
"It's all like a dance. It's an art every single play," he added. "And so, again, getting to watch the guys taking in every single rep I possibly can, watching them – if it's routes on air, if it's just a route during team that I'm not in – and just watching all those guys, seeing how they do it because it's almost like a dance in and out of the defense."
