After being thrust into a role calling plays for the first-team defense in a recent practice, rookie linebacker Martrell Spaight said he learned the importance of proper communication.
Linebacker Martrell Spaight thrusted his hands into the Lev Sled during Tuesday’s practice. Drenched in sweat, he managed to stand the sled up vertically with a single explosion.
“Good job Spaight, good job,” linebackers coach Kirk Olivadotti said, reassuringly.
Spaight entered the session having filled in for an injured middle linebacker rotation the day before. Both Keenan Robinson and Will Compton did not participate, leaving the rookie Spaight to fill the void on the first-team defense.
