Again, quarterbacks Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy took turns with the 1s, and both made some good throws. Moreover, a bunch of receivers made some impressive adjustments to finish catches.
In the first team period, Murray took a chance on second-year wideout Dontae Fleming who is 6-foot-2 and looked even longer as he laid out to haul in an over-the-shoulder pass after slipping by the defense. Nothing new for Fleming – just extra flashy; he showed up as a reliable field-stretcher in the spring, too.
Another Year 2 player, 2025 third-round pick Tai Felton, who excelled on special teams as a rookie, displayed nice play strength and reactivity when he got low to corral a pass by Murray that bordered the right sideline.
Undrafted rookie Dillon Bell delivered an impressive, juggling catch via Carson Wentz, as well, to close out a period focused on second-down play calls. Bell was super busy during the offseason program and continued those efforts Thursday.
Even sweeter than those adjustments, however, the best of the session belonged to dynamic return man Myles Price. To begin the final team period, Wentz arced a deep pass to the small but mighty third-phase ace. The pass spun, beautifully, and Price recalculated his route, sneaking like a mouse behind cornerback James Pierre, to track it into his breadbasket like a vet inside the 10-yard line.
