The big question
Who's the No. 2 halfback?
While Grant established himself as the go-to guy with 929 yards over the final 10 games of the regular season, the pecking order behind him is unclear. Jackson, a second-round pick last year, rushed for 113 yards in the regular-season finale. But Wynn, Morency and Herron will challenge.

Player to watch
Wynn.
The guy is talented. But as gifted as he is, he has to show the maturity and professionalism required to harness that ability. Wynn showed signs of improved commitment during the offseason program. That must continue — and he must stay healthy, too — if he wants to make the roster.

Key competition
Fullback.
While the team was pleased with Hall and Kuhn, who shared the job for most of last season and also lined up with Grant in short-yardage situations, the staff is intrigued by White's combination of speed, size and power. After a year on the practice squad, he's ready to challenge for the job.
