Greg Stroman vs. Danny Johnson vs. Adonis Alexander vs. Jimmy Moreland

This competition could be one of the most important over the next few weeks and it will definitely be a very tenacious fight.  Danny Johnson is beginning his second training camp, but is currently on the PUP list and this could hinder his chances.  However, he is a superb special teams player and this may work to his advantage.  Greg Stroman may have the inside track as the punt returner and that could certainly enhance his opportunities.  Adonis Alexander could be the one who is on the outside in this key competition, Johnson’s injury notwithstanding.  Don’t forget about Jimmy Moreland.  He is a star in the making.  Keep an eye on what happens with these four players.  It’s likely that only three of these four will make the final roster.
