David Veikune is practicing at FOUR positions with the Cleveland Browns
Asked how David Veikune looked on film working with the first team, Cleveland head coach Eric Mangini said:
“David’s worked a lot of different spots. Some of it’s been out of necessity. Some of it’s been out of trying to expose him to a lot of different things and find out where his strengths are. He has to be swimming. He’s played inside. He’s played outside. He’s played the buck position. He’s played defensive end and he’s going from a three-point to a two-point. There’s a lot of information. It will serve him well over time. The important thing, that I’ve tried to get across to everybody, and especially the rookies, because, I don’t know about their college programs, but what I try to get across to them is understanding the whole defense. If you understand the whole defense and why we’re doing it, what it’s designed to stop, what it should look like, where people should fit, then problems aren’t as tough to figure out and new looks aren’t as hard to process. When you just know your spot, other stuff doesn’t make any sense.” (The Cleveland Leader)
