A couple of plays later rookie undrafted free agent @pach was seen holding down Penning after a play, drawing yelps of joy from the defensive personnel. The extra curriculars weren't limited to Penning. Also during team drills, linebacker Isaiah Pryor and tight end J.P. Holtz, and safety P.J. Williams and tackle Jerald Hawkins (from LSU) also exchanged post rep shoves.
