About how camp has gone, Ulbrich said:
"I think camp has gone very well personally and from a team perspective. It seems like we are a lot further along than we have been here in the past couple of years. Personally I’m just going out and trying to compete and if I start, that’s great. If I don’t, then I’ve made the guy ahead of me better. I’m really having a good time working on special teams which is something I’ve not really done in the past. It’s given me a little bit of new life to get out there and learn something different."
