"You've just got to be mentally strong," Stanley said. "You've got to think clearly, stay in the moment, don't try to think that far ahead. You've just got to go out with a positive mindset every day that you want to get better."

Stanley has plenty of veteran offensive linemen to help, including Marshal Yanda, Jeremy Zuttah and more. Immediately to Stanley's right is resident genius John Urschel, who has been working with Stanley to get all the calls and checks down.

Stanley also said that Monroe helped him before his release, including while Monroe was working out at the Under Armour Performance Center.

"It feels good in the sense that this organization has put its faith in me, but Eugene has been nothing but a great resource and great mentor for me, and you never like to see a guy lose a job," Stanley said.

Stanley has taken every snap he can possibly get with the first-team offense this summer, and he's impressed those around him. While pass rushers Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil aren't on the field to test the rookie, Defensive Coordinator Dean Pees has thrown a lot of pressure Stanley's way.

"Ronnie has come in here and picked things up," Offensive Coordinator Marc Trestman said. "He's shown that he certainly has football intelligence to learn quickly, he doesn't make very many mistakes, he's extremely coachable, and his athleticism is showing on the field."
