With the minicamps and OTAs booming in the NFL, beginners do not miss out on rumors. Clearly, early selections like Kyler Murray and Quinnen Williams are expected to have a quick impact, but first-round picks are not the only rookies that deserve to be excited.
In fact, some of the rookies that should excite the fans have not even been selected for the repechage. Unadjusted receiver Penny Hart, for example, could add an explosive element to the Indianapolis Colts offense that fans will be happy to see.
Here we will look at the 2019 free agent from each team who, like Hart or Phillip Lindsay, the 2018 Pro Bowler, could draft the training and provide some spice as a rookie.

The Arizona Cardinals have never really looked at Josh Rosen, the former choice of the first round, because they have never surrounded him with enough characters. Now that Rosen is away and Kyler Murray of Oklahoma is in the quarter, the Cardinals must avoid making the same mistake.
Fortunately, Arizona has at least worked well to add receptionist skills to its list. They recruited Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler and KeeSean Johnson, as well as former Boise State receiver A.J. Richardson after the draft.
Richardson is a 6 "0 & 212 pound pass receiver who has amassed 54 assists for 825 yards and eight touchdown wins in 2018. He has the tools needed to strengthen the new body of receivers for the season. Arizona while contributing as a gunner in special teams.

The Atlanta Falcons do not really suffer for big receivers. There is of course Julio Jones, plus Mohamed Sanu and the first choice of 2018, Calvin Ridley. However, this should not stop fans from being excited about rookie receiver Olamide Zaccheaus.
Zaccheaus is a smaller receiver at 5 "8" and 188 pounds, but it is fast, unstable and formidable after capture.It could be the kind of slippery receiver that the Falcons had previously in Taylor Gabriel.
In 2018, Zaccheaus accumulated 1,058 yards and nine touchdowns. Although he's not likely to see this type of production in Atlanta as a rookie, he could add an extra glow to the Falcons' passing attack. Look for him to make the defenders pay too much attention to the recipients on the Atlanta list.

The Baltimore Ravens used two of their top three picks from wide receivers, grabbing Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin. Regardless, Ravens fans should be excited for Jaylen Smith checked.
You see, Smith played his university ball in Louisville – you know, in the same place as starting quarterback Lamar Jackson played his own. Both players had an obvious chemistry while they were playing for the Cardinals. In Jackson's final season in 2017, Smith captured 60 passes for 980 yards and seven touchdowns.
In addition to being a familiar face for Jackson, Smith has the physical tools to become a quality Wideout for the NFL. At 6 "2", the 219 pound has accumulated 550 yards in 2018, even without Jackson throwing him the ball.

The Buffalo Bills already had a strong defense in 2018, as they only allowed 294.1 yards per game, the second total in the NFL. Any prospect that can potentially improve this defense should excite both the team and its fans.
It's exactly the kind of perspective that Tyrel Dodson is. Despite the decline in most defensive categories in 2018, no one would have questioned the choice if former Texas champion A & M had been drafted. Instead, the bills had the chance to name him free agent after the draft.
Dodson has an adequate size (6 "0", 237 lb) and an explosive capability for the position, as well as an aggressive mentality.It should immediately contribute as a special teammate, but it has enough potential to break the rotation of the linebacker.
In 2018, Dodson produced 70 tackles, seven tackles for loss and one interception (which he took home for a choice of six). Even though these numbers are not realistic for Dodson's rookie season, they suggest that he can be an extraordinary depth player in first year.

The Carolina Panthers are themselves a real hobby horse in Christian McCaffrey. While hWe can certainly do anything, it would be wise to reduce McCaffrey's workload if the Panthers want to make the most of it.
That's why the addition of the murder to Elijah Holyfield is exciting.
"It's a fantastic player who may have to work in concert with a faster receiving option, but that has the strength and vision to be a hard-hitting rookie, "wrote Matt Miller, Bleacher Analyst. Report, about Holyfield.
If Holyfield is keen on training, he will be able to spell McCaffrey in short-distance and downhill situations, which will keep the former first-round player fresh and ready to generate games explosives.

The Chicago Bears are not particularly thin against the distant receiver, but former Missouri veteran Emanuel Hall should still have a good chance of being part of the training and contributing as a rookie. He is too talented not to do it.
At 6 "and 201 pounds, Hall has a size more than adequate for the job." He also has an above-average speed, having run 40 seconds at 4.39 seconds. allowed to accumulate 828 yards and six touchdowns on only 37 receptions in 2018 and should spawn a role in the Bears offense.
From the beginning, Hall should contribute as a receiver, but it could possibly exclude a veteran like Allen Robinson or Taylor Gabriel from here a year or two away he manages to adapt to the speed and the physiognomy of the NFL.

The Cincinnati Bengals are a bit of an afterthought in northern CAF right now. However, if the new coach Zac Taylor manages to get the most out of his attack, he could be a dangerous enemy with which to count.
The Bengals have weapons, including A.J. Green, Joe Mixon and Tyler Boyd. Stanley Morgan is another player who could hurt opposing defenses in 2019. The Nebraska product has a good size (6 "0", 202 lbs) for the position and is more than willing to make difficult shots.
In 2018, Morgan captured 70 passes for 1,004 yards and seven touchdowns. He will probably be a type of possession at the NFL level, but if he can provide Andy Dalton with a security cover underneath, it will be a huge addition to Taylor's offense.

The Cleveland Browns grabbed cornerback Greedy Williams in the second round of the repechage and will likely face Denzel Ward outside. There is certainly room for depth at the position, so the addition of Jhavonte Dean is so important.
Dean is a turn (6 "2") with good ball skills (three choices in 2018) and a willingness to mix everything physically.He got a try with the Browns and quickly drew the attention of l & # 39; team.
"He was a factor," said head coach Freddie Kitchens, by Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The Fan. "Whenever you are a factor, you stand out – it's a good thing during this time of year."
Although Dean will likely start his career as a special and substitute teammate, he has the makeup of another young piece for the seemingly bright Cleveland future.

The defense strength of the Dallas Cowboys lies in its defensive line. Undefeated home defender Daniel Wise has the potential to further improve this line as a player by rotation. The Kansas product weighs 6 "and weighs 281 pounds and has sufficient attack capability to disrupt mid-pass play.
"It's an enthusiast who has the ability to find the front edge and create his rush counters with leg play and agility," wrote Lance Zierlein of NFL.com about Wise.
Although Wise is not a pure smuggler, he is versatile, as is his brother, the New England Patriot Deatrich Wise. In 2018, he produced 34 tackles in total, 12 tackles for a loss and five sacks. At the very least, he should stick to the list.

The Denver Broncos have done a lot of work to improve their quarterback position this season. They added that Joe Flacco was the quarterback of the present and that Drew Lock, of Missouri, was potentially the quarterback of the future.
Kelvin McKnight has enough capacity and positive advantage for both callers. The Samford product is a little undersized at 5 "8" and 185 pounds, but its impeccable route and ability to create space could allow it to be a threat outside the slot.
In 2018, McKnight produced 100 receptions and 1,453 receiving yards, an impressive number for a receiver of all sizes. McKnight also spent four years as a ghost, which should allow him to be part of special teams from day one.

Fans are generally not excited about an offensive lineman inside. However, former Wisconsin goaltender, Beau Benzschawel, should at least get attention before the 2019 season. It's a gigantic hope of 6 "6" and 309 pounds that sparked interest of several NFL franchises.
In fact, Benzschawel had offers of "more than 20"Teams, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.
Benzschawel is, at the very least, a first day backup with potential for development. However, if he quickly adapts to the speed and physical appearance of the professional game, he can even force his entry into the starting lineup before the end of his rookie campaign.

The Green Bay Packers have taken steps to improve their defense in free agency regulars, adding Za Darius Smith, Preston Smith and Adrian Amos. In free offense, they added former Baylor defender Greg Roberts.
Roberts has size (6 "5", 258 pounds) and athletics to be an exciting addition in its own right.
Although its development prospects are a little weak, the combination of the strength of the rearguard and the mobility of linebackers makes it intriguing. He has a quick pass potential – 3.0 sacks in 2018 – but Roberts will likely start his career as a substitute and eventually defensive by rotation.

By 2019, the Houston Texans should attach to protecting quarterback Deshaun Watson through a solid game running. Lamar Miller and D & # 39; Onta Foreman should see a lot of work, and uncredited running back Karan Higdon could be part of this equation.
Higdon is a big runner (5 "9", 206 lbs), physical runner who produced 1,178 yards on 5.3 yards per race in 2018.
"Higdon was the savior of the Michigan offensive early in the season when the passing game could not start. It has been productive and consistent, but the lack of physical traits is a problem when watching his band, "wrote Matt Miller of Bleacher Report.
While Higdon will likely begin his career as No. 3 in the depth rankings, his tough racing style and his ability to handle high volume could push him to overtake Foreman. He also has enough potential to become Houston's main runner.

The new receiver, Penny Hart, of the Indianapolis Colts, was mentioned at the top of this article, and for good reason. The Georgia State product is a quick and elusive trap that can add an explosive element to the offense committed in Indianapolis from the first day.
With fast T.Y. Hilton and possession receiver Devin Funchess also on the court, Hart should be able to create a lot of mismatches in the game that passes out of the slot.
It can also contribute strongly to special teams. He has demonstrated his ability to return kickoffs and college referrals – averaging more than 19 yards and 17 yards per return, respectively, in 2018. If Hart did not list the 53 men it would be a complete shock.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are relying on new quarterback Nick Foles to help them resume the playoff fight. However, a defensive resurgence is also necessary for Jacksonville to become a legitimate threat in the AFC.
Former duke Joe Giles-Harris's linebacker could be part of this upsurge. This is a high engine, physical player with a lot of professional potential.
In 2018, Giles-Harris amassed 81 tackles in total, 7 tackles for a loss and a sack.
"On the road, Giles-Harris is clearing his limits with a sense of above-average game development and regular raids to strengthen the defense of the race," said Lance Zierlein of NFL Media.
Expect Giles-Harris to be part of the regular season lineup and have an impact as a special team and defender by rotation.

The pass defense was the biggest weakness of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018. She averaged 273.4 yards per pass, second in the NFL. That's precisely why the former Clemson cornerback, Mark Fields, could have an immediate impact on Kansas City.
Fields is a half corner of 5 "10" and 192 pounds fresh out of a championship race with the Tigers. "Even though he has not seen the considerable work for the defense of Clemson in 2018, he showed his ball skills by defending five assists in limited action (seven games).
These ball skills – combined at a legitimate speed of less than 4.4 (he clocked 4.37 seconds – 40) – gave Fields the edge needed to be a sub-package defender in Steve's defense. Spagnuolo. He should see work in nickel and penny projects as well as in special teams at the beginning of his career.

Hunter Henry, the Los Angeles Chargers forward, returns from a ripped ACL. Shippers should pay attention to its workload in 2018, which is why it is important to provide a lower depth.
This is where Daniel Helm, the former duke, played.
Helm mainly projects into a blocking position, but he has a sufficient reception capacity to at least maintain the honest defenses. In 2018, he caught 26 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns. He had a similar production in 2016 and 2017. This means that if Helm is on the field, opposing teams will not be able to assume that the game is running.
Although Helm only plays on the field for a handful of games, there are games in which Henry can rest. Just the prospect of a fresh and healthy Henry for running should be exciting for the fans.

The Los Angeles Rams did not sign another defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. While former Cincinnati defensive tackle, Marquise Copeland, will not replace Suh, he has the potential to limit at least the fall on the line.
The 6 "2", 287 lbs is versatile and has experience both inside and at the end.In 2018, he has accumulated 50 tackles, 7.5 tackles for the loss and four sacks .
Copeland's versatility should help defense coordinator Wade Phillips with his schematic creativity. His ability to penetrate the backfield reflects Phillips' desire to create inner pressure. Copeland should be part of the rotation of the lines as a rookie and could start in the future.

The Miami Dolphins have decided to try their luck against former Colorado State receiver Preston Williams, accused of domestic violence, harassment and falsification following an arrest in September 2017, by Kelly Lyell of the Fort Collins Colorado. A police report said that Williams was accused of pushing and restraining a woman who called herself his girlfriend.
He was arrested again the following month after allegedly violating a protection order by calling the woman "about 200" times. Williams pleaded guilty to harassment and all other charges were dropped. He was sentenced to a deferred sentence.
Williams is not the first player and is not the last player on which a team takes a chance despite the character's concerns, but from a football standpoint, the bet makes sense.
Dolphins do not have many proven receptors on their list. That's a problem because they'll at least give the 2018 first-round pick, Josh Rosen, to show that it can be a franchise quarterback. If Miami can not use better weapons than Rosen in Arizona, the results will probably not be very different.
Williams has the potential to make a difference. He has an incredible size of 6 "4" and a height of 210 pounds.In addition, he showed that he was able to resume the game. "Last season, he captured 96 passes for 1345 yards. and 14 touchdowns He will not record these numbers as a rookie, but he may be an early contributor.

The Minnesota Vikings will lose their cornerback, Holton Hill, their second year, for the first month of the 2019 season, due to a violation of the DEP. Hill was an unloaded free agent last season and played extremely well when given the opportunity. He had 30 solo tackles and one interception.
Although nothing guarantees the former Rutgers halfback, Isaiah Wharton, will be Hill's version of this year, the potential is there. It's a solid 6 "1", 205-pounder who is ready to mix everything in. Last season, he produced 61 tackles, 5.5 tackles for defeat and two interceptions.
Wharton is also sustainable, having started the 48 games of his university career.
At the very least, he should help the Vikings mitigate Hill's loss for the first month of the season.

The Patriots recruited the former big detour of Arizona State's Keal Harry in the first round. He will be the rookie receiver who will attract attention in 2019. However, former North Carolina receiver, Jakobi Meyers, should also thrill fans.
Although Meyers does not have lightning speed, he has great hands and a penchant for contested balloons. In 2018, he captured 92 passes for 1,047 yards and four touchdowns. An impressive production since the receiver is not his original position.
Meyers is a converted quarterback, just like Patriots star Julian Edelman, who lives from Tom Brady's understanding of trends. Although the two recipients are very different, there is good reason to think that it may be useful to incorporate a quarterback mentality into the New England system, which depends so much on 39, adjustments before breaking.

New Orleans Saints defensive end Carl Granderson has played an important role in his four seasons at the University, scoring 11.5 sacks in the past two seasons. He is also facing a sexual assault trial, which is probably the main reason he was not named. The saints, however, seem to believe that it will be cleansed.
"We felt really comfortable with everything we knew and so far, he has done a good job here," said head coach Sean Payton, by Josh Katzenstein of NOLA.com.
Two women told the police that Granderson had sexually touched them without consent in November and that charges of third-degree sexual assault and sexual assault had been laid three months later. Granderson pleaded not guilty and the trial is scheduled to begin on July 15.
If Granderson is licensed and able to play, he has the potential to contribute immediately to the pass, reinforcing a defense that had already produced 49 bags in 2018.

The rumor surrounding the New York Giants draft was largely focused on quarterback quarterback Daniel Jones. However, the quarterback is not the only position the Giants needed to deal with the offseason problem. They had to improve a defense that allowed them to get 25.8 points per game in 2018.
That's why the signature of Josiah Tauaefa, of Texas-San Antonio, was exciting. The linebacker 6 "1" 232 pounds is aggressive and seems to be involved in almost every game for the Roadrunners.In 2018, he has amassed 111 tackles, 11.5 tackles for a loss and 4.5 sacks.
Tauaefa will likely start his professional career as a depth-player and special team-mate, but he brings the kind of marginal coverage needed to get more defense play time as a rookie.

The New York Jets may have finally found their franchise quarterback in the form of Sam Darnold. Now they have to focus on him to get the pieces they need to flourish. The addition of the offensive halfback The Veon Bell will certainly help, but Darnold still needs more pass capture weapons.
This is where Greg Dortch, the former member of the Wake Forest team, enters the scene.
Dortch is a sneaky and fast receiver. He is also reliable – especially for his size (5 "7") – having amassed 89 balls for 1,078 yards and eight touchdowns in 2018. He has enough potential to secure a spot as a fifth or sixth receiver.
More immediately, however, Dortch should contribute to the special teams. He averaged 11.0 yards per kick return and 20.9 yards per kick for the Demon Deacons in 2018.

The Oakland Raiders took a close look at former Keelan Doss player, former UC Davis player, at this year's Senior Bowl. Jon Gruden coached with the North team and saw firsthand the skills deployed by Doss to dominate his opponents at the university.
In 2018, he made 118 receptions, 1,334 yards and nine touchdowns. He did it with his size (6 "2") and his ability to detect weak spots in the cover.These skills could help Doss become a solid possession receiver for the Raiders.
While fans may be more excited about the arrival of Antonio Brown's acquisition in the off season, Doss could play an important role in the Raiders offensive for many years.

The Philadelphia Eagles may have landed one of the unofficial free flight flights in the form of former Wisconsin linebacker T.J. Edwards. The 6 "1", 242 lbs have a physical mindset that should perfectly fit in the Eagles' defense.
"Lance Zierlein from NFL.com has written about Edwards." It's a four-year-old newbie who shows up and does his job every week as a playmaker in the box with surprising ball skills. "
Edwards' high engine has consistently involved him for Badgers. In 2018, he accumulated 112 tackles, including 11.5 loss tackles and three sacks. Although he is not likely to produce this kind of figures as a rookie, he should play the role of substitute within the linebacker, who can start in a very rough way.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still replacing the Veon Bell in the middle distance position. James Conner has been well behaved last season and seems to be a reliable starter when he is in good health. However, he faced injuries late in the year and inconsistencies in the beginning.
The depth behind Conner will be important, which is why the addition of Travon McMillian, Colorado, is exciting. His versatile back is able to catch the balls from the backfield (he has averaged 8.4 yards per receipt in 2018) and return shots on goal. He is also motivated by what his compatriot Phillip Lindsay, a product not made in Colorado, accomplished during his rookie season at the Pro Bowl.
"I was not invited to the combine, so I used that as motivation and motivation, just like Phil, "said McMillian, by Scott MacDonald, of Independent CU. "I'm just here to prove myself."
McMillian has the potential to contribute to the running game, the passing game and the return game as a rookie.

Supporters of the San Francisco 49ers may not be familiar with former linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. But Chris Kiffin, the coach of the passing team, is definitely there.
Kiffin was the Owls Defensive Coordinator in 2017, a year in which Al-Shaair recorded 146 tackles and 10 tackles for the loss.
Familiarity with an existing coach is not the only reason why Al-Shaair arouses enthusiasm. He has a solid frame of 6 "1", 234 pounds and is an aggressive and technically sound tackler who should contribute immediately on special teams.If Kiffin can get the most out of him, Al-Shaair could also become a regular presence on the defense.

Former Baylor cornerback Derrek Thomas is not ready for the NFL, but that's largely because he's new to the position.
"With only three years as a full-time cornerback, it's fair to think that he'll continue to improve, but he still has a lot of work to do and he has to be harder" , wrote Lance Zierlein of NFL.com about Thomas.
The Seattle Seahawks should be excited about Thomas's advantage. He is a defender of 6 "and 189 pounds with a legitimate speed of 4.4 These attributes are impossible to train a player and are perfectly suited to what the Seahawks like to have on the outside. .
Thomas will probably not see much playing time as a rookie, but his development will spark much enthusiasm.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers struggled to defend the pass in 2018 – they allowed 259.4 yards per game, 26th in the NFL – which is why the safety of Lukas Denis is an exciting option.
Denis (5 "11", 190 lbs) will not be the biggest defense on the field, but it has a fast and fluid coverage. He also has excellent ball skills, as evidenced by his seven interceptions in 2017. He had only had one choice last season, but he also had an impressive 31 solo tackles.
Given his skills, the Boston College product should be able to bring depth to both cornerback and safety in first year, although the potential advantage allows him to compete for a job .

In an effort to improve the weapons available to players available to Marcus Mariota, the Tennessee Titans have used a second-round pick for former Mississippi receiver, A.J. Marron. Later, they landed receiver Anthony Ratliff-Williams as an independent player.
Ratliff-Williams is not a product as refined as Brown, but it has an intriguing potential. Il est un pass-catcher 6'1 ", 205 livres qui a amassé 42 réceptions pour 689 verges en 2018. Il a également suffisamment de capacité de retour pour être un contributeur alors qu'il continue à apprendre ce qu'est un receveur de la NFL.
"Sa capacité à donner un coup de pied de retour et son talent avec le ballon dans les mains le rendent digne d'un choix tardif dans l'espoir d'aiguiser ses zones de faiblesse", a écrit Lance Zierlein de NFL.com à propos de Ratliff-Williams.
Ratliff-Williams ne fera peut-être pas que l'attaque de passage des Titans devienne immédiatement une unité d'élite, mais il a le potentiel de rendre l'équipe un peu plus amusante à regarder.

Les Redskins de Washington ne sont pas tout à fait minces dans cette position serrée, avec Jordan Reed et Vernon Davis. Kano Dillon, l’ancien joueur serré de l’Oregon, est une perspective fascinante qui pourrait ajouter un petit quelque chose à l’offensive.
Dillon a une taille incroyable pour le poste à 6'5 ", £ 256 et il possède des compétences suffisantes à la fois comme bloqueur et attrapeur de passes – bien qu'il ne soit pas dépassé dans les deux domaines.
Où Dillon peut exciter est une seconde fin serrée dans les formations de course à pied. Ni Reed ni Davis ne sont particulièrement dominants dans la course au blocage. Si Dillon parvient à en devenir un, il contribuera à donner un coup de fouet à un jeu au sol qui devrait rassembler de nombreux Adrian Peterson, Derrius Guice et Chris Thompson en 2019.
