That's actually a pretty impressive # IMO.

A Steelers vlogger had Butler - as well as his competition at WR Calvin Austin III - as having a rough Day 1 in camp. That could be unimportant but the first 4 WRs on that roster seems to be fairly set so the margin of error isn't huge.

That catch showed his upside.

Does anyone have info on Mike Rose? He was supposed to be at the Browns' camp and he wasn't on the 90-man roster that I saw.

I think this article refers to the catch shown in the post above but there's a bit more info: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/...em-butler-shines-during-rain-soaked-practice/

Another nice piece on Hakeem from SI:

Great training camp TD grab by Lazard (from some QB named Rodgers), embedded in this article:

WATCH: Aaron Rodgers displays Packers connection with Allen Lazard for sensational TD in Jets training camp

Aaron Rodgers may be with a new team this season, but he already found a familiar face in the end zone.

Charlie Kolar with the Ravens' "play of the day" (according to someone) -- one-handed grab for a training camp TD:

Play of the Day: Charlie Kolar Makes One-Handed Catch

Charlie Kolar made a one-handed end zone catch that drew loud cheers from his teammates, led by All-Pro tight end Mark Andrews.

Edit: I thought these were the same things but he made a long sideline catch - not a one-hander - for a long TD grab, too:

Top Play: Charlie Kolar Hauls in Long Touchdown Pass

Tyler Huntley threw a perfect pass on a wheel route to second-year tight end Charlie Kolar.

I was seeing what I could find out about Chase - who seems to be in a 1-on-1 battle to be TE3, and I found this blurb from Day 2 of Bears' camp:

• Tight end Chase Allen is an under-the-radar guy who had a nice practice. He made a nice diving catch over the middle of the field from Walker in the early portion of team drills. Then Walker found Allen again for another completion in the middle of the field at the end of practice.

Ya think Kolar, Allen and Soehner would consider him a tight end?

This is a few days old. Big praise on Will McDonald on that day's training camp, including a strip sack. The clip should start just before he talks about Will's performance:
