Cole PaytonPHI

Had a rough outing after impressing on Day 1; threw three interceptions in total. First interception bounced off Danny Gray's hands into A.J. Epenesa's hands (possibly not Payton's fault). Second came on a throw up the seam that looked intended for linebacker Chance Campbell. Third was a throw to rookie Keyshawn James-Newby in the flat for a sure pick six. Elijah Moore. Hurts notes this progression (good Day 1, then getting humbled) is interesting and will see if Payton can bounce back.
