The Ducks continued their spring practice Tuesday with the first padded contact period since the Fiesta Bowl in January. Spring football is the opportunity for new leaders to emerge on both sides of the ball and we certainly have that thus far. 

Oregon is also welcoming new coaches to the team this year in Defensive Coordinator Tim DeRuyter and Secondary Coach Marcel Yates who both came over from Cal. 

There were tons of updates to glean from Head Coach Mario Cristobal's media availability.

Main takeaways

-Anthony Brown has taken ALL of the quarterback reps with the one's

-Ducks getting creative to address shortage of healthy scholarship running backs

-Cristobal is creating competition at every position

-Standouts: DJ James, Verone McKinley to name a few

-Kayvon Thibodeaux taking on a new role at Joker in Tim DeRuyter's defense
