Week 1 Preseason Standouts Signal Emerging NFL Talent
Six young players stood out in Week 1 of NFL preseason: Rams quarterback Ty Simpson went 21-for-25 for 190 yards and 2 touchdowns; Cardinals wideout Jalen Brooks has back-to-back strong showings (6 receptions, 52 yards, TD this week); Steelers linebacker Jamin Davis totaled 8 tackles and 2 sacks; Bears corner Beanie Bishop Jr. had two interceptions; UDFA running back Robert Henry Jr. flashed with a 30-yard TD run; Cowboys quarterback Joe Milton III completed 80% of his attempts for 107 yards and a TD. While preseason games use vanilla defenses and aren’t definitive, these performances suggest several players to watch as depth charts take shape.
