Defensive tackle Deadrin Senat, defensive end John Cominsky, running back Qadree Ollison and backup quarterback Kurt Benkert were standouts on the first day of minicamp Tuesday, according to coach Dan Quinn.

“I was excited to see Benkert get a good bit of work today,” Quinn said. “Ollison was another that I saw get a good bit of work at running back.”

Quinn and his staff met with the 23 rookies and the veterans acquired this offseason. The staff gave them a couple of things to improve on during the minicamp.
