swcroundup compared Rice's roster to last season and noted some changes.

A number of guys on the 2-deep have lost weight: Dill (-20), Green (-15), Schantz (-10), Wells (-10). Perhaps more focus on quickness and speed? Change in how our strength & conditioning guys work? I think Green and Schantz moved from DE to LB in the new scheme.

Nashon Ellerbe is back to RB (from WR last year). Perhaps a reflection of depth with graduations?

DT Carl Thompson gained 30 lbs.

However, he seems incorrect about Jorian Clark, who is listed as a CB on both the roster and 2-deep (link says he was moved to safety).
