Every year there are some surprise cuts or perhaps a player that makes the final roster that not many expected to make it that far. Last year, it was Bradley Marquez who shocked many by making the initial 53-man roster, though he was waived a week later. There are a lot of close battles happening at the bottom of the depth chart at various positions and the roster appears to have more depth across the board than a year ago.
Guys like Kevin Strong, Mitchell Loewen, Garret Dooley, C.J. Moore and Miles Killebrew are all impressing right now and though they might be on the outside looking in, there is a real chance that they could stick.
