Mike Fafaul

Fafaul looked very confident throwing in individual drills. His first drive started off well as he connected on three consecutive passes, but unfortunately his fourth pass went right into the hands of Tahaan Goodman for the interception.

On Fafaul’s second drive, Roosevelt Davis took the first two plays with a couple of nice runs but then Fafaul did something that made all the spectators and his teammates break out in applause. Aided by great protection from the offensive line, Fafaul was able to lock in on converted tight end Colby Cyburt (who was not covered by the defense) for a beautiful 30-yard touchdown.

During skeleton drills he struggled a bit but made some very good passes in coverage.
