Tavares Gooden and Ellerbe to compete

It figured to be extremely difficult for any rookie free agent to make this team and have an impact, but Ellerbe did as a big, physical linebacker. He may be the heir apparent to Ray Lewis even. But it’s too early to say. After a knee injury cost him a chance in camp, he came on during the season to win a starting job. He is more of a brawler than Tavares Gooden, but doesn’t have Gooden’s athleticism. That should be one of training camp’s better battles.
