Sellers looked very comfortable at H-back in minicamp. The guy has a monstrous physique, he's a good receiver and demonstrated excellent blocking skills in his first run with the Skins under Turner. At minicamp, he was far and away the most promising of any of the guys they tried at H-back. I think he would be more than adequate as a starter there if the Skins don't take Winslow in the draft.

I also wouldn't read a whole lot into the release of Byron Chamberlain-- for those believing it's a sure sign the team plans on drafting Winslow. The guy was overweight, out of shape, and terribly sluggish as a receiver. He was slow off the snap, and he seemed to be running his routes half-heartedly. I was extremely disappointed in his performance. I recall another reporter asking him if he was concerned about coming into camp overweight-- especially given the intensity of the minicamp and Gibbs' emphasis on the importance of performing well in practice-- and his response was something to the effect of "not really. It's still early, and I'll be ready for training camp come July." Obviously, the coaches thought otherwise.

Sellers brought his "A" game to minicamp, and I think that will benefit him every bit as much as Chamberlain's lackadaisical attitude harmed him.
