Players were divided into two teams (dressed in black jerseys and white jerseys) and played both offense and defense in the controlled passing contest. Although the emphasis of HITMEN mini-camp was on offensive skills, defense dominated the early action. On the first offensive play of the black jersey squad, running back turned cornerback Michael Blair intercepted an errant Mason aerial. Wide receiver Phil Savoy opened some eyes with a spectacular diving interception and also displayed some nifty moves with the ball following his second pick of the day. Observing Savoy’s nose for the football, Vice President and General Manager Drew Pearson commented that the defensive coaches may want the Colorado product for their side of the line once training camp begins next month. Number one draft pick Charles Puleri hooked up with speedster and Rutgers product Chris Brantley for the first touchdown of the scrimmage. Brantley, who has been out of football for two years, showed no evidence of rust when freezing the safety with a nice move during his post corner route. THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER… Center Dustin Owen provided a moment of comic relief during the afternoon practice. The Hawaii product donned jersey number 17 for the scrimmage, and although his passing was limited to snapping the football in shotgun formation, he had some fun dreaming about how the other half lives. “I’m the biggest quarterback ever,” the 315-pounder said. “There’s never been anyone like me to ever play the position.” “That’s because no one makes a quarterback jersey that could fit you,” equipment manager Tommy McVean shot-back, eyeing the skin-tight shirt that appeared to interfere with Owen’s circulation.
