Rookies Receive Praise


Rookie Mohamed Massaquoi, who worked opposite Braylon Edwards with the first-team offense, helped himself by catching three passes on Derek Anderson's 13-play no-huddle drive, including a 12-yarder for a first down. Massaquoi also came on strong in practice towards the end of last week, dropping fewer passes and making some sensational catches. One was a one-handed grab in the end zone, but he failed to get both feet inbounds. "He's got really good ability and he's a young guy," said Mangini. "He had that amazing one-handed 'Jordan' grab the other day." In other scrimmage news, Mangini complimented Lance Leggett, who was signed as undrafted free agent out of Miami last season and spent the year on the practice squad. A nationally-ranked track star at Miami, Leggett has dazzled fans and coaches with his speed during camp and if he keeps it up, the staff will have a hard time letting him go despite a crowded field.
