Delmarva Represented in NFL Training Camps

August 18, 2016 Posted by Matt Pencek Featured Sports, Local Sports

The watch is on to see if three players with Delmarva ties can earn a spot on their respective teams’ 53 man roster.

Alex Ellis – The Delmar grad is listed last on an unofficial depth chart the Tennessean produced this week. On Aug. 13, Ellis caught one pass for ten yards in the Titans first exhibition game against the Chargers. He was one of only two Titan tight ends to catch a pass in that game.

Trip Thurman – It is challenging to quantify the performance of offensive lineman. Thurman received a shout-out by cinncinati.com for his training camp work. Thurman is listed as the third string right guard on the Bengals depth chart .

Joe Callahan – The former Wesley College quarterback started the Packers first exhibition game. The 2015 Gagliardi award winner outperformed the Browns and former Heisman winner Robert Griffin III. Callahan was 16-23 for 124 yards and 1 touchdown. Callahan is listed third on the Packers depth chart.

NFL rosters must be reduced to 75 players by August 30.
