ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -- Su'a Cravens figured out a few practices into his NFL career what life in the trenches was like.
''I was about 217 pounds playing (middle) linebacker with no pads on going against guys like (tackles Ty Nsekhe and Trent Williams),'' Cravens recalled, ''and I didn't know Trent was as fast as me so I got thrown out the club about three or four times in the first couple OTA practices before I was like, 'OK let me just make a decision and live with it.'''
The second-round pick out of USC who coach Jay Gruden wanted to list as a ''hybrid'' on the roster got his crash course and is now delivering hits.
