- Former Rutgers/NFL safety Jay Bellamy is now in the business of training football players.
- Anthony Davis is making strong progress with his conditioning.
- Good news for Jamaal Westerman: the Jets are moving Vernon Gholston to DE. Despite the spin from Rex Ryan in the article, that's pretty much a death knell for his career if the Jets are sticking with a 3-4.
