SPARTANBURG, S.C. – From the very beginning of his pro career in 2010 through the end of last season, Kurt Coleman has played a weekly role on defense.
The extent of that role has varied widely, a reality that has helped Coleman learn that he can't worry about whether he's a starter or a reserve.
So far at training camp, Coleman has played like a starter – as have others.
"You can't control everything, but what I can control is how I go out there and approach the game," Coleman said. "Whether I'm starting or whether I'm second, I can't really control that, but what I can control is whether I'm getting better every day.
