Going into Training Camp and the preseason, we had a number of roster battles we were eager to see — which, if any, of the undrafted wide receivers would win the team’s final WR spot? Who would win the return job between Kenjon Barner and Marcus Green? Who would win the left guard battle between Jamon Brown and James Carpenter? And a few more very intriguing ones I didn’t list.
I did not expect the tight end position to be one of intrigue this summer. Behind Austin Hooper, new free agent addition Luke Stocker, Logan Paulsen, who was solid in his role with the team in 2018, and 2017 fifth-round pick Eric Saubert had the position by the throat.
