Jason Verrett's Advice Paying Off For Trevor Williams - Ricky Henne
"Verrett told me ‘Be ready bro because we are going to need you.  You never know when it is going to be, but your time is going to come.’ Each and every day I would come out to practice and give it my all so that when the time came, I wouldn’t let my teammates down."

What the NFL is Saying about Melvin Gordon - Chargers.com

10 best players who could hit free agency in 2017 - Bryson Vesnaver
Melvin Ingram is an edge defender in the midst of his prime years right now. Last season, he ranked 18th at his position, with an 84.2 overall grade; in 2016, he ranks eighth. Among 3-4 outside linebackers, Ingram has a pass-rushing productivity score of 10.7, and his 39 total pressures ranks fifth. But he also adds the ability to defend the run well, and can drop into coverage if need be. His 76.0 coverage grade ranks third among edge defenders (one of the players above him is Jamie Collins, who played inside linebacker most of the season). Ingram a young player in his prime, and should command a lot of interest if indeed he were to hit the market as an unrestricted free agent.

I said before the draft that the high-motor Bosa had a very high floor -- he's going to be a star.
