Cooper Rush, QB, Cowboys:The Cowboys are just too good at finding good QBs for a bargain. Cooper Rush has had an outstanding preseason and may move up the depth chart and replace Kellen Moore as the teams backup QB. Rush has been so good this preseason. The undrafted rookie has made some insane plays including throws on the run, dots, and more. He has been making the right descions on his throws and looks like someday he could be a starter on a team.
Kasen Williams, WR, Seahawks/Browns:
Williams has really been a breakout this preseason. The Seahawks were looking for another great receiver and with a big preseason roster, the name Kasen Williams was somewhere on the list. Williams played better than any other Seahawks receiver this preseason. Making some insane one handed grabs, long catches, even a few TDs. He went up for some high balls and came down with them. His best games were weeks 1 and 2 in the preseason against the Chargers and Vikings. Williams has clinched himself a spot on the roster and could get some actual playtime this season.UPDATE: SEAHAWKS CUT WILLIAMS, NOW SIGNED BY BROWNS
Chris Carson, RB, Seahawks:Another Seahawks breakout this preseason, Carson had to step up because the Seahawks had over 5 RBs on the team this preseason. Boy he stepped up. Playing behind Eddie Lacy this preseason, Carson was explosive in every game and looked like Thomas Rawls in his rookie season. He broke tackles, juked and made powerful plays that left everyone in awe. Even though Thomas Rawls and Eddie Lacy will likely play a lot, the 7th round pick even got people into talking about if Carson could win the job. Carson has stepped up over all of the Seahawks running backs and earned himself a roster spot.
Dede Westbrook, WR, Jaguars:
I know I know, I talk A LOT about Westbrook on my blog but I really think he is an underrated player that doesn't get talked about enough. Westbrook went from an explosive Heisman candidate last college season to an overlooked 4th round pick due to his legal issues. Now Westbrook has been showing everyone why he shouldn't have been a 4th round pick. This preseason Westbrook has caught over 200 yards worth of balls and 2 TDs this preseason. He has shown the Jags that they can rotate the speedster in a times and that he will be an explosive weapon. Even after his explosive preseason he still isn't being talked about and I still fear that the team doesn't have him a roster lock. I hope they do because Westbrook can BALL.
Jacoby Brissett, QB, Patriots/Colts:Most people haven't heard much of the Patriots 2nd year, 3rd string QB this preseason but what he did in the final week of the preseason easily put him on the preseason BREAKOUT list. In the final game of this years preseason, Brissett tossed 5 TDS! 5! Do you know how crazy that is. Most QBs in the NFL, even the good ones only throw around 1-3 TDs a game and even though its a preseason games, thats CRAZY! Brissett could actually be Tom Brady's successor if Jimmy Garopollo does leave this off-season. The Pats have 3 good QBs on the team right now.
UPDATE: BRISSETT WAS TRADED TO COLTS
DeShone Kizer, QB, Browns:
Likely preseasons biggest winner, Kizer had a breakout preseason. After Brock Osweiler was named preseason starter for the first 2 games of the preseason, Kizer shined while Osweiler struggled. In game 3 of the preseason, stud Kizer was named game starter and postgame was named the Browns 2017 starting QB. Brock Osweiler as we know was released. Kizer played great in the preseason and I'm pumped to see him this season as a starter.
Trevone Boykin, QB, Seahawks:In the last preseason game, Boykin did have his struggles, but the rest of the preseason, Boykin looked like a stud. The 2nd year QB played amazingly in his first preseason but this year in his 2nd, he may have played even better. His best game was his game against the Chargers where he threw a bunch of TDs, made throws from all over the place, and lead the Hawks to a huge win. Boykin played very well most of the preseason and deserves his spot on this list.
UPDATE: BOYKIN WAS CUT BY SEAHAWKS
