I’ve spent all summer talking about players on the fringe of continuing their professional football careers.
Players 54-90 on a training camp roster shouldn’t be considered an afterthought until their names appear on the waiver wire. Even then, players will still get multiple opportunities to continue the pursuit of their NFL dreams. The Chiefs kickstarted their rebuild in 2013 by making waiver wire claims on players like Ron Parker, Jaye Howard and Marcus Cooper. All three would go on to make significant impacts that season.
One of the best parts of the preseason is identifying standouts that you may not have expected.
