2024 NFL Preseason, Week 1: One thing to watch for on each of the 32 teams (Detroit Lions
AT New York Giants - LIONS: The Lions’ first-team offense has no obvious weaknesses, and we’ll have plenty of time to see how the first-team defense looks over the course of the preseason. But I really am curious to see how the reserves look, starting with QB Henden Hooker. Jared Goff hasn’t missed a start since the end of the 2021 season, so the worry might be low, but Hooker’s development is a fascinating element for the long term. There also has been some training-camp hype for RB Jermar Jefferson (a favorite of mine when he was drafted back in 2021) and TE Shane Zylstra, who was developing into a red-zone threat in 2022 before missing all of last season with a knee injury. GIANTS: The disappointment with Evan Neal -- currently on the physically unable to perform list -- continues, and it’s at the point where we don’t know when to expect to see him next. That has pushed Jermaine Eluemunor into the starting role at right tackle. Considering he signed for a fairly modest salary this offseason, that wasn’t the expectation. But now it’s approaching reality that Eluemunor will be the Week 1 starter for a unit that absolutely has to be better this season. The Giants and Daniel Jones are counting on it. Eluemunor has always struck me as a solid player, but he and the rest of the Giants’ starters not named Andrew Thomas were all sub-par last season. Thursday’s game against the Lions -- after a scrappy first day of joint practices between them -- should be a fun test, assuming Brian Daboll wants to give his starters some reps.): https://www.nfl.com/news/2024-nfl-preseason-week-1-one-thing-to-watch-for-on-each-of-the-32-teams
2024 preseason: 10 non-rookies we can't wait to watch (Antoine Green: Green is one of those classic surprising finds on film. Everyone scurried to North Carolina's film in 2021 and 2022 to watch Drake Maye and his nimble slot option, Josh Downs. In doing that, it was impossible to miss Green. Because in those seasons, he cemented himself as one of college football's most effective downfield specialists. In those years, the nearly 6-2, 200-pound Green caught 74 passes for 1,410 yards -- that's a colossal 19.0 yards per snag -- with 12 touchdowns. Nothing overly popped on his combine performance, which likely sunk his draft stock to the seventh round. Last preseason, Green was spectacular with seven grabs and 161 yards with a long touchdown. Sure, Jameson Williams is the deep threat the Lions want to emerge in 2024. But Green has plenty of athletic prowess himself as a sleek downfield weapon. I'm pumped to see if he can again produce like he did last August.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2024-nfl-preseason-cowboys-viliami-fehoko-browns-matt-landers-among-10-non-rookies-we-cant-wait-to-watch/
Rookies to keep an eye on in NFL preseason (OTs Giovanni Manu and Theo Benedet, Lions and Bears - Manu and Benedet were bookend tackles for the University of British Columbia. Manu was taken in the fourth round by the Lions whereas Benedet signed in Chicago as an undrafted free agent. It is not often that a Canadian style lineman makes that transition to the NFL. In fact, no player has ever been drafted by the NFL out of UBC. There is a fascination with how that will materialize. Detroit obviously thinks it will pan out considering its initial investment.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-preseason-2024-patriots-wr-javon-baker-cowboys-ot-tyler-guyton-and-other-rookies-to-keep-an-eye-on/
