"I always find it interesting to watch the effort of veteran players compared to that of rookies. For example, Plaxico Burress caught a pass and jogged a few steps to finish out the play. Meanwhile, Markus Wheaton caught the same pass and sprinted up the field. Speaking of Wheaton, he is an impressive physical specimen. He is thicker than what I thought he would be. However, Tomlin did call him out once for not breaking out of his route on an incomplete pass on an out pattern. Justin Brown was pretty fluid for a tall receiver and has decent speed. He and the other receivers in camp are already ahead of last year’s group, which had trouble holding onto the ball. Shamarko Thomas is in incredible shape. I have seen him working out on the videos he has posted on Instagram, but to see him in person is even more impressive."
