Willis McGahee off to good start in camp

Backup running back Willis McGahee looks strong so far in training camp, and appears to have spent a lot of time in the weight room.

McGahee doesn't appear to be carrying any extra weight, and shows good acceleration, and has been breaking a lot of tackles. He hasn't complained about a thing, and appears to be ready for the regular season. After breaking some long runs in the first two days, McGahee doesn't even appear to be breathing hard.

McGahee, though, needs to work on holding the ball tighter.

Two rookie running backs that have been impressive are fullback Mike McLaughlin, out of Boston College, and halfback Curtis Steele, from Memphis. McLaughlin has showed surprisingly soft hands for a fullback and Steele has displayed good cutback ability.
