Coach Gus Bradley singled out DE Andre Branch as one of the three players who is really standing out in offseason workouts. The other two are Chad Henne and Cecil Shorts. "He's busting his hump harder than anybody," DL coach Todd Wash added. "We're real pleased with the maturity that he's gone through over the last year. We think he's going to be an excellent pass rusher." Branch was reportedly on the trade block last summer. The light came on as a sophomore. Branch had five sacks in the final six games. He's the favorite for LEO duties, over Chris Clemons and Jason Babin.
