This list is short, but don’t be alarmed. Marquis Spurill can also play middle linebacker so there isn’t a problem with depth. Paul Worrilow is without a doubt the opening day starter while Nate Stupar will back him up for his great special teams abilities. I believe Allen Bradford will not make the team, but could find himself onto the practice squad.
