This NFL preseason watchlist covers 64 players across 26 teams, with each club’s Week 2 and Week 3 kickoffs. All times ET. This list is for entertainment purposes and some positive/negative bias validations on players. Some players are simply fun to watch play football even despite us thinking they will not prevail as success stories in regular season football, hence their inclusion in this list.
Preseason is the time of year when we have fun watching the prospects and players we’ve waited all offseason to watch again, so here are all the players we can’t wait to begin Monday Morning Quarterbacking again.
