Rookie defensive back Damontae Kazee, a fifth-round draft choice out of San Diego State, had an interception in practice Friday.

Starting cornerback Robert Alford was impressed.

“You can just see the progression (from OTAs) to now,” Alford said. “You can see that he went home and studied, and you can tell that he worked on his craft. He has it all … he could play nickel, outside, he could play free safety. As you know, he played cornerback in college.”
