Kansas City Chiefs DE Ashton Gillotte appreciates growth in his special teams role
During his press conference on Tuesday, Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Ashton Gillotte shared his appreciation for any opportunities on special teams. "I think (Assistant Head Coach/Special Teams Coordinator) (Dave) Toub has put me in a lot of positions to work and compete," said Gillotte, "and that is kind of the bridge of trust there, him putting me in a position just to be able to work or put my talents on display. Then just doing it from there." Gillotte spent four seasons at Louisville. Last season, he earned Second-team All-ACC honors and led the Cardinals with 10 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks, starting 12 games and recording 43 total tackles. He embraces the chances to play on special teams because it gets him in the game aside from the defensive game plan. "Yeah, obviously. Anything that gets you on the field is a good thing, and special teams is a big part of our game. Obviously, we want to get our special teams to be number one or number two type, because it is a phase of the game," said Gillotte, "The hidden phase or lost phase. Us being good on that will help set up our offense better (and) our defense better. So, really, any way we can contribute." The Chiefs have solid depth on the defensive line, but with recent injuries, it could put Gillotte in more packages for Steve Spagnuolo and less time on special teams during the season.

Will Stein sees comparison between Dante Moore and Teddy Bridgewater
Though Dante Moore has yet to officially be named the Oregon Ducks' starting quarterback, offensive coordinator Will Stein offered some high praise for the redshirt sophomore passer following Tuesday's fall camp practice. "As he got here, you could see that his talent has flourished," Stein said. "So humble, he's willing to learn. He's a great blend of like Bo's football IQ, and (how) Dillon can just pull everybody together, which is really unique and special." The comparisons for Moore didn't end there, with Stein specifically likening him to a former teammate of his and a current 10-year NFL veteran. "I think I've said this before but, he wears No. 5, he's got a glove on his left hand, I played with Teddy Bridgewater and he does remind me a lot of Teddy. Now, Teddy threw with a glove on his right hand. That's a lofty comparison for me, but he's just got that moxie about him, that it-factor that people just gravitate toward." Stein, a quarterback himself, played two seasons at Louisville with Bridgewater from 2011-12. During that time, Bridgewater threw for nearly 6,000 yards and 41 touchdowns, establishing himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the country and an eventual 2014 first-round pick. Moore hasn't had similar success to Bridgewater quite yet. As a true freshman in five starts and nine appearances at UCLA, the former five-star completed just 53.5% of his passes and threw 11 touchdowns versus nine interceptions. He threw just eight passes a season ago as Dillon Gabriel's backup with the Ducks. While the start to Moore's career has been underwhelming, Stein's hope is that he can coax the potential out of him. And Stein surely believes in his presumed starting quarterback, noting that he has the "it-factor," — something all great passers have.
