Rookies Therezie, Ward adjusting well to life as a pro

For Robenson Therezie, a rookie defensive back out of Auburn, adjusting to the NFL is enjoyable.

Therezie said with no classes and homework, he’s fully able to dedciate himself to learning how to be a pro.

“(In) college, I had class and practice,” Therezie said. “Now, I graduated and I can have more time to study the playbook and more time in learning some techniques and learning about the game.”

Therezie had his first professional start against Houston Sunday recording one deflected pass and tying Allen Bradford for the team lead of five tackles.

Terron Ward, a rookie out of Oregon State who is featured at running back and on special teams, said he also is enjoying adjusting to like as a pro.
