Ever since he arrived on campus in 2017, spring was a time for Kellen Mond to make his case as Texas A&M's starting quarterback.
When the Aggies started spring ball this year, he already knew the verdict. Mond quietly toiled away as the entrenched starter while a trio of quarterbacks battled to be his back-up.
For the first time, there was no discussion about Mond's place on the depth chart. The silence shows how much progress the soon-to-be junior quarterback has made over the last two seasons.
The lack of hubbub is welcomed by someone who wants to continue to improve his game.
