On the wide receivers:

Coach Kelly: We have potentially five receivers on each play. It's a long season and it makes us a better team if everyone is contributing.

Coach Kelly: Nelson Agholor did a nice job. Can't control how many passes are coming his way, but he blocked well.

Kelly: Chris Maragos has just gotten better in Year 2. Last year, he was trying to hone in on special teams. We knew he had potential at DB.
