Danny Etling benefiting from Tom Brady's absence at practice

Exploring some hot topics around the New England Patriots in a mailbag:

I don't know much about Danny Etling, not being a big college fan. Other than his arm strength and low turnover rate, what are his other strengths? Weaknesses? I'm rooting for him! Thanks!

Meghan, Danny Etling was the top pick of the seventh round (219th overall) out of Louisiana State, and he's been one of the primary beneficiaries of Tom Brady's absence from voluntary organized team activities. For example, when the team breaks off into two fields, it would usually be Brady on one field with the top personnel and the top backup on the other field.
