Warriors in the Pros: Bess, Colt, Lelie

Davone Bess made a good impression on at least three observers during the first day of Dolphins training camp.

The Sun-Sentinel:

Here's a quick summary of how the two quarterbacks performed: John Beck made a couple of nice throws. One was to Davone Bess, who beat Joey Thomas on a slant route to the sidelines. Bess jumped in the air to catch the ball for what would have been a 20-yard gain. He also caught a good sideline pass from McCown that in my opinion was the play of the morning for the offense.

Bess caught every thrown his way, and did it with his hands. I'll admit I didn't see anything special about Bess during my early exposure to him, but now I'm starting to get intrigued.

Palm Beach Post:

Someone should check Davone Bess’ hands for stick ‘em or super glue. The guy catches everything.

Palm Beach Post (again):

Davone Bess has vacuums for hands. The next time he drops a pass will be the first.

Ozzy from Dolphin Digest:

Now we have Devone Bess. He was all over the place this morning, and he dropped nothing. He made a real nice catch on the sidelines on that throw from McCown that I spoke about earlier. The ball was just a little over his head but he made a nice reaching grab for the ball, bringing it in just as he got his second foot down which made him tumble to the ground but he held on. He may be a tad small but he knows how to find seams, and is a constant threat to get open. I like his chances to last until the last cuts. We'll see how it goes though.

During a scrimmage today, Colt Brennan was 4 of 7 for 22 yards, and one of his passes was dropped.

======

Ashley Lelie left practice early due to a strained calf.

Things have not gotten off to a good start for Ashley Lelie, who sat out most of practice this morning with a left calf injury. Lelie caught just 10 passes last season. He has to have a good training camp or he might not figure into the team's plans.

Lelie fell out of favor quickly last season when he missed most of the offseason program with a quad pull.
