WitP: Veikune Improving

With David Veikune playing exclusively at inside linebacker this season (rather than switching between inside and outside like he did his rookie season), the second-year Cleveland Brown has shown steady improvement.
Second-year Browns receiver Brian Robiskie and linebacker David Veikune are getting rave reviews for their efforts during Organized Team Activities.
Second-year linebacker David Veikune has also made strides throughout the OTAs, helping to anchor the middle of the 3-4 defensive scheme.

“David has gotten a lot of reps working inside and I think he’s looked better,” said Mangini. “All those guys have shown some real positive things early on and we have a long way to go, but it’s encouraging to see.

“That’s what we’ll do, have him focus in on that area,” he added about Veikune playing inside linebacker. “I have to keep reminding myself and the coaches, it’s hard for these guys. The young guys are going through what all those guys went through. What I look for from the group of second-year guys is to help the new guys get through the process.”
The Orange & Brown Report has another note about Veikune.
The Browns appear to have some young, active – and possibly productive – pass rushers. Knocking down passes during the practice were linebackers Marcus Benard and David Veikune. Both look so much surer of themselves, which is what you would expect from second-year players.
