Numerous rookies across the league deserve some attention based on how they performed during the first week of preseason action.

The following names are those who were under consideration for this initial Top 10 but didn’t quite crack the list:

QB Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders: Daniels played in only one series, but the Heisman Trophy winner went two-of-three passing with a 42-yard strike to Dyami Brown.

RB Jaylen Wright, Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins continue to add speed and playmakers to their backfield. Wright looked explosive and elusive with an average of 5.5 yards per carry.

WR Jermaine Burton, Cincinnati Bengals: Burton did his damage in the second half (82 yards) yet looks like a possibility to be the Bengals’ slot receiver if given the chance.

OT Olu Fashanu, New York Jets: Fashanu was billed as the class’ best pure pass blocker and looked the part. He’s going to get reps at right tackle for the first time this week.

C Zach Frazier, Pittsburgh Steelers: While Nate Herbig had some issues snapping as Pittsburgh’s first-team center, Frazier looked like a natural after replacing the veteran.

Edge Jonah Ellis, Denver Broncos: Denver’s third-round draft pick created multiple pressures against the Indianapolis Colts, including one that caused an interception.

LB Payton Wilson, Pittsburgh Steelers: The reigning Butkus Award winner began his NFL career with a tackle for loss, then led everyone in his preseason contest with seven total tackles.

CB Rico Payton, New Orleans Saints: The undrafted free agent out of Pittsburg State showed he belongs with three defended passes and excellent coverage. He’ll need to build on the performance with a roster spot on the line.
