Cameron talks about having a rookie starter at center

About starting a rookie center, Cameron said:
“It has its challenges, but every guy is different. For some guys it’s really hard, for some guys it’s not. I had started with a rookie four years ago and turned around and started with a rookie the next year. We went from rookie to rookie basically, and here we are again. We were able to maintain a high level of offensive play, so I think it depends on the guy. So when you’re choosing a potential guy who could start for you at center you better have a bright guy. You better have a guy that’s smart, you better have a guy that’s tough, you have to have a guy that wants to lead. It’s like you hear me say about the quarterback position, [center] is a leadership position. If a guy puts his hand on that ball and he’s not a leader, you’re in trouble. So those are things we’re looking for. But it has its challenges, especially in a division that covers the center. In some divisions it’s not as big a deal. When you’re uncovered it’s different. In our division, and in our practices, Keith Traylor is sitting right there. Training camp will be a good test for him.” (MiamiDolphins.com)
