Four FCS Rookies Who Saw Their Stock Rise during NFL Preseason Week 2
The competition for roster spots made for an increased intensity during the second week of preseason games in the National Football League.
Attempting to earn their way into the NFL as rookies, a number of former NCAA FCS players displayed their on-field abilities and improved their chances of sticking in the league where they play for pay.
In particular, I have identified four former FCS players who upped their appeal during preseason Week 2 game action.
The quartet includes two receivers from the Southern Conference, an offensive tackle from the Big Sky Conference and an HBCU standout safety. In terms of individual draft status, two of the featured players went undrafted this past April and the other two were selected six picks apart in the fifth round.
