All offseason, Robert Nkemdiche preferred to keep a low profile.
The 2016 No. 1 draft pick didn’t want to talk much about his lost rookie season. The defensive tackle wanted to just come to training camp and do his work on the field and let that speak for itself.
After a practice Thursday in which Nkemdiche looked the part of a top pick, he wasn’t making any bold predictions. He wouldn’t say he could replace departed Pro Bowler Calais Campbell, reiterating only that he was going to work on his own game.
“They are looking for the best Robert,” Nkemdiche said.
