1a. No days off: The team's mantra, courtesy of coach Robert Saleh, is "all gas, no brake." For Mekhi Becton, it's "all gas, no break."

The 6-foot-7 right tackle, whose fluctuating weight was the storyline of the post-draft offseason, showed up to training camp in much better shape than minicamp and has participated in virtually every team rep with the starting offense. There were a couple of wobbly moments on an oppressively hot day in the first week, but Becton powered through the first eight practices.
