Camp scenario: Trammell is trying to make a team that returns Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington and Joshua Cephus , drafted Travis Hunter and signed free agent Dyami Brown . Being a return specialist and having player under Coen for one season are points in his favor.
Austin Trammell on his NFL struggles
"Adversity is the only way to get better. So it's been five years in adversity and right now I'm the best football player I've ever been. It's trying to get better every day, trying to do the little things, be consistent. But you always got a chip on your shoulder to prove something. It's just about how you handle adversity. It's the mental toughness."

"It has answers for everything. You're never unprepared for a game, but it's going to take a lot of communication, a lot of detail, a lot of discipline, which we have and which we're working on every day. You go into a game and you feel good about the game plan because you know you have a fix to every look. You have answers to make it right.

Austin Trammell on how the system is taking hold
"We put in a lot of work during the offseason, during OTAs, put a lot of install in. We worked really hard during extra walk-throughs, extra film study, extra script readings, just going over it with the guys. We put in a lot of work this off-season to get to a point now where we're not thinking as much as we're going out there and playing."
