Sonoran Hot Reads: Arizona's undrafted free agents having mixed results in NFL Training Camps

Let's check in on some of last year's players

There were no Arizona Wildcats taken in the 2015 NFL Draft, but several of them are in NFL Training Camps right now.

- Let's start with the one who does not seem to be impressing, and that's Fabbians Ebbele, who is with the Green Bay Packers. The Packers held a "Family Night" scrimmage Saturday night, and according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Ebbele continued to struggle. "His play thus far shows why he went undrafted". They note that he has trouble keeping his balance, and he's not using his arm length as a weapon.

- On the other line is Dan Pettinato, who is with the Houston Texans. While fights during a joint practice with the team from Washington stole the headlines, Pettinato apparently impressed in certain pass rushing drills (notes 9, 10 and 11).

- And then there's Austin Hill, who is in New York Jets camp. "He caught just about everything that came his way" on Saturday, and while it seems he hasn't shown off any huge flashes, he's been very consistent.
