Chris Salerno It will be interesting to watch, but I would be shocked if a new Australian option comes along. James Rendellyou can't improve and win the job in fall camp.
Mitch Jeter He completed 12 of 14 attempts last year (all misses from 50 yards or more), but the transfer from South Carolina will take over place-kicking duties.
Several players will play in the return game, Jadarian Price After averaging over 34 yards per return, he returned as the primary kick returner, including a 99-yard touchdown against USC.
