Rafael Reyes had an eventful training camp in Yellowknife, working closely with the coaching staff to refine his skill set. Being a run support cornerback, Reyes already has an athletic and powerful frame to deal with wide receivers, so they focused on his speed and ability to catch the football. Why work on his hands? They always did say that if a CB could catch then he'd be playing WR and that might actually be the care here. Reyes has seen sometime in a variety of positions at Kansas State and will be looking to do the same here. Learning from Josh Garden, a fellow Houston native, has helped out quite a bit. Working with the defensive back, receivers and saw some time with the running backs; but that did not go all too well. A swiss army knife type player might be what Reyes settles in as during his first season, but his sights are set on the CB position where he believes he has the talent to be a pro-bowler despite being selected in the 11th round and being an unusual defensive back.
His versatility is not surprising, and the team seems to be enjoying his competitive spirit for the time being. So much so that they rewarded him with a 3 year 12 million dollar contract after the first practice.
