Highlights from the First Days of the Pre-Season

Hi, sorry that I haven't posted for a few days, I was just waiting for a lot of games to have been played before I made a post. Here are some highlights from the weekend of the first pre-season games. Before we start, here is some news that QB Tyrod Taylor signs a 6 year contract extension with the Bills and the Cowboys sign a contract extension with amazing center Travis Frederick. Here are the highlights:

QB's: Seahawks backup QB (undrafted rookie) Trevone Boykin played amazing! He was fast, made great choices on throwing to open players and with 4 seconds left in the game he chucked a hail mary into the endzone and won the game! Pretty good. This years number 1 overall draft pick Jared Goff was TERRIBLE in the Rams game. The undrafted rookie QB played better than him. I'm feeling like he is going to make the Rams regret using that pick on him and end up being the next Nick Foles. Speaking of which, Nick Foles was great on the Chiefs, he will make for a great backup QB. Cowboys rookie QB Dak Prescott was amazing! Throwing amazing touchdowns, the Cowboys were looking for a good backup QB and it looks like Dak was the perfect fit. Number 2 overall pick QB Carson Wentz played very well for the Eagles and had some bad plays but was pretty good, he will be great in the future but he did suffer a hairline fracture on his ribs but its not to serious and he's expected to be back by the end of the pre-season. Robert Griffin III was pretty good in his first game with the Browns, he connected with receiver Terrelle Pryor a few times for some great catches but had an interception. Broncos QB's all played well which made the Broncos QB race very hard, Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian, and even Paxton Lynch were great. Patriots QB Jimmy Garapollo was pretty good and will be able to carry the Pats the first four games of the year.

RB's: Titans RB's DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry (the starters) were AMAZING. They combined for 167 yards and 2 touchdowns! That's great. Murray looked like his old amazing self! It looked stupid when the Titans used their second pick on Derrick Henry right after they traded for DeMarco Murray but now I can see why and it was very smart. Murray will be the starter but Henry will still get lots of carries. The Titans will be good this year! Chargers rookie bust from last year Melvin Gordon played pretty well in the opener and I think he could be good this year. Watch him. Seahawks running back Christine Michael was amazing and explosive and could be good this year if Thomas Rawls gets hurt. Michael was great.

WR's: Browns receiver Terrelle Pryor was great in the pre-season opener and will probably become a starting receiver. Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas was pretty good and will also probably put higher on the depth chart. Rookie Sterling Shepard had a great catch before leaving the game early with a minor injury, he is back in practice already.

There is the Texans 49ers game on today, be sure to watch that and I will have a post about it. Thanks for reading.
