From the Tennessean today:
Feeling fast: Cornerback Rich Gardner said he has been a regular participant in the offseason training program since he was drafted in 2004.
This year, instead of getting bigger and stronger, he tried to get smaller and faster.
He said he's lost 10 pounds since February. He reported to camp at 192 pounds.
"I'm much quicker on the field," he said. "Now I'm much lighter and much quicker but I can handle a lot of things."
Gardner played 13 games last season and recorded 12 tackles on special teams, but none on defense. Currently he's working with the second-team defense.
"Rich is steadily improving," Fisher said.
