Some Warriors in the Pros news:

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Isaac Sopoaga is one of ten players who have impressed in the offseason, according to Dennis Dillon of the Sporting News.

Sopoaga was at the team facility even before the offseason program started, lifting weights and watching film. At 6-2, 325 pounds, the fifth-year lineman is a massive, powerful man who is one of the strongest players on the team. He can play both tackle and end but is expected to start at end next season in the 49ers' 3-4 defense.

New York Jets cornerback Kenny Patton had limited participation in minicamp practice yesterday, for unspecified reasons.

St. Louis Rams linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa missed a voluntary OTA workout to attend a graduation.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Jason Elam will miss offseason workouts to take a prolonged vacation in Alaska. The coaches knew of it before he signed with Atlanta.

"He will not be here until we report July 25," Smith said. "We're not doing a whole lot of field-goal work anyway. Jason knows how he to be prepared. He'll be ready. This is not his first rodeo."

Nice.
