Preseason 2023 NFL Week 1: Biggest Takeaways from Friday's Games

Preseason is a chance to get confirmation of what's been seen throughout training camp. It doesn't always work that way, though.

With six games during Friday's slate and multiple organizations sitting the bulk of their starters, answers didn't become immediately evident in certain cases. However, a couple squads, specifically the Green Bay Packers and Cleveland Browns, should be quite happy with what they saw from specific position groups.

Certain names, such as Packers quarterback Jordan Love, met expectations. Others are still finding their way [hint, hint: Tampa Bay Buccaneers].

Week 1 of the preseason is merely the first step to stack performances that lead to final decisions.
