1. Oh, brother -- In high school in Lakeland, Fla., Chris Rainey moved into the same house as C Maurkice Pouncey and Mike Pouncey of the Dolphins. They roomed together at University of Florida. Now, Maurkice and Rainey will share the same offensive huddle. “Maurkice spoke highly of him,” GM Kevin Colbert said. 2. Isn’t that special -- Chris Rainey, 5-8, 187 of Florida, will share return duties with Pro Bowl WR Antonio Brown, whose role and workload is set to increase on offense. But don’t forget: Rainey broke the SEC career record with six blocked punts. GM Kevin Colbert said: “He is going to be a very exciting player for us.” 3. Change of direction -- RB Rashard Mendenhall won’t be changing directions on a surgically repaired ACL until late in 2012, if at all this season. And Mendenhall hasn’t done much of that. WR Antonio Brown does it some in the return game, but that’s why Chris Rainey was drafted – to do it as a KR, slot WR and RB.
