NFL Preseason Highlights Rising Rookies Across Multiple Teams
As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to face the Cincinnati Bengals in their 2025 preseason opener, the focus is largely on rookies and players battling for roster spots rather than starters, who are expected to see limited action. Key players to watch include rookie quarterbacks competing for backup roles, promising running backs like fourth-round pick Kenneth Gainwell's replacement, and linebackers such as rookie Jihaad Campbell competing for starting positions. The Eagles' linebacker unit, safety spots, and wide receiver depth are all areas of keen competition, with undrafted rookie Darius Cooper drawing notable attention for his impressive plays despite not being expected to make the final roster. Across the NFL, preseason games serve as crucial opportunities for rookies and fringe players to prove themselves, with players like Seattle’s fifth-round rookie receiver and the Indianapolis Colts’ sixth-round quarterback Riley Leonard highlighted as potential surprises. The preseason provides a vital stage for these players to demonstrate their capabilities ahead of the final roster cuts, as teams balance development with protecting their established stars.
