Joe Judge has been impressed by Azeez Ojulari in training camp.
"In terms of his mental understanding of the system and schemes, he’s made progress in that," Judge said of the second-round draft choice, an outside linebacker who the team expects to give their pass rush a boost this season.
He’s also noticed Ojulari’s conditioning, something that rookies often overlook.
"He’s really shown us a lot of jumps in how he came in in shape to training camp," Judge said.
