Quotes:
"First and foremost, Deshaun has really worked his tail off during the rehabilitation process over the last several months," Berry stated.
"He's really actually ahead of schedule. He's really chomping at the bit to take the governor off, so to speak, but really he's had a really nice spring."
Berry added, "He's thrown the ball well. Did a really nice job during our 7-on-7 and team periods during this veteran minicamp. So, we're excited as he gets into training camp and gets the pads on."
Berry concluded, "Honestly, if you didn't know he got hurt last year, you really wouldn't be able to tell the difference. We're very excited once camp starts."
