FLOWERY BRANCH – Last week on Hard Knocks we discovered that defensive line coach Bryan Cox called rookie tackle Donte Rumph “Cupake.”

Tight end coach Chris Scelfo has nicknames for rookie tight ends Brian Wozniak and Jacob Pederson.

“I tell them all the time that in the pass game they act like they played band at Wisconsin,” Scelfo said referring to the route running. “One of them must have played the flute and the other one the trombone.”

Pederson called “Flute.” Wozniak dubbed “Trombone.”
