2022 Offensive Outlook: “With Josh, James and Casey back we return a great combination of experience, skill, and toughness. So getting these three guys the ball will be the key. Adding Matt and Andrew to the mix will only help. Returning Joey Granko at TE and with a solid number 2 TE in Alex Michaylo, along with the 3 returning O-Lineman in Cyllel, Krappa and Mordan will be a big plus for us!”

2022 Defensive Outlook: “With seven guys back and getting more athletic, we will hopefully play to our potential and continue to get better as the season goes along.”

2022 Special Teams Outlook: “New Kicker and some young skill kids make us excited about the third phase of the game this year!”
