Bears- Johnny Knox
Fifth-round rookie Johnny Knox reportedly evoked memories of Bernard Berrian during Bears OTAs.
It's hard to like the comparison, as Knox is playing in the slot and Berrian is a pure outside receiver, but Knox's 4.3 speed does give him deep threat upside. Knox is battling Juaquin Iglesias and Rashied Davis for playing time.

Nashville police formally classified Steve McNair's shocking death Sunday as a homicide.
The death of 20-year-old girlfriend Sahel Kazemi has not been classified, however. An autopsy revealed that McNair suffered four gunshot wounds; two to his head and two to his chest. Kazemi's only wound was to her head. A semiautomatic pistol was recovered under her body, and Kazemi's condo showed no signs of forced entry. Police believe the two died early Saturday, well before the bodies were found. Authorities are still not looking for suspects. McNair is survived by his wife of 12 years and four sons.

The National Football Post's Mike Lombardi predicts that Pierre Garcon will "be the new Marvin Harrison in Indy."

According to the K.C. Star, SS Bernard Pollard is at more risk of losing his starting job to newly acquired Mike Brown than is FS Jarrad Page.
The club would be better off if its young safeties kept their jobs, but Brown can play both safety spots and Pollard's tackling has been inconsistent over the last two years. Of course, you wouldn't know it by checking the box score.

Ravens G/T Marshal Yanda (ACL, MCL, PCL surgeries) will begin training camp on the active/PUP list.
Yanda, who sat out all of OTA season, will be a candidate for regular season PUP as well. The Ravens may only be hoping for Yanda to fill a reserve role by midyear as he recovers from multiple extensive knee surgeries.

The National Football Post's Mike Lombardi predicts that Pierre Garcon will "be the new Marvin Harrison in Indy."
We suspect Lombardi is projecting Garcon to fill Marvin's production void from last year (60/636/5), not emerge as a future Hall of Famer. Still, it's more evidence that Garcon has a handle on Indianapolis' third receiver job.

The Browns reportedly plan to use Braylon Edwards on more slant routes and quick throws to get him the ball more frequently.
Edwards' drop-filled 2008 can be partially blamed on never finding a rhythm because his weekly catch totals were so inconsistent. He caught four balls or more in back-to-back games three times all year. Edwards' strength is still as a deep threat, but he should dominate targets in Cleveland's new offense.
