Not every NFL preseason standout becomes a star. But enough do that it's worth tracking them! We assembled an early all-hype team after the first full preseason week.
On Aug. 16, 2010, undrafted rookie free agent Victor Cruz caught six passes for 145 yards and three touchdowns for the Giants in his first preseason game. Cruz went viral in social media's early days. He was injured for most of that season, but the next year he became one of the NFL's best receivers — catching 82 passes for 1,536 yards and nine touchdowns.
Marques Colston was a seventh-round pick in 2006. He looked so good in training camp that the Saints traded Donte Stallworth to give him an opportunity to play as a rookie. Colston caught 70 passes for 1,032 yards as a rookie — and exceeded 1,000 yards five more times in a 10-year career. For every Cruz or Colston, each franchise has a dozen players who turned heads in training camps and preseason games but couldn't rise to the task in the regular season. With all that said, we've compiled an early all-hype team made up of players around the league you should keep an eye on. Some are early picks and some weren't picked at all. Some will start games and others will work day jobs.
for Seattle's starting job last season. Now the clear No. 2 quarterback, there's still love for Lock in the building for the Seahawks and he should be one of the better backups in the NFC West.
