Justin Holman > Henne

(Never heard of him, but I am convinced this is true)

Holman took the reigns at UCF when Blake left for the draft if I'm not mistaken.

Well, then he can be considered the competition at the QB position some folks are clamoring for.

Taybor Pepper is a great athlete - I'm noticing a more focused effort to challenge the special team's groups

Holman was also at the rookie minicamp, and back then Marrone said one of the qbs will be brought back for training camp. I'm thinking he'll stick around for camp along with the ST specialists. The other players who also attended the rookie minicamp are Atkins, Broyld, Mortell and Weiler.

Lamar Atkins certainly has no real shot with the other FBs on the roster, but he's worth a look. At 5' 10 5/8", 236 lbs, he was athletic enough that Louisville moved him from FB to MLB. At his pro day he ran a 4.8 with a 31 1/2" vert and did 21 reps.

Broyld is a player that Marrone already knows from his days at Syracuse...

I think it's more about needing additional players for camp. Marrone has already talked glowingly about the current specialists.

Scantling was quite the star WR at Jacksonville's Epispocal High School. He went on to play Track and Field at Georgia where he excelled at an "Olympic level." He was recently and briefly on the Falcons roster.

This is exactly what makes the off-season tough. There are some really highly skilled people that come into camps every season. You sometimes forget how unbelievable these players are who realistically don't have a shot at making a roster, or staying around very long.

I still believe an advanced level farm system should be created for these guys, so these players can still play professional ball. The NFL just needs to back it, that's the only way it will ever work.
