While Billingsly only appeared in two games during 2017 season, he's performed well in OTAs for the Lions where he's played mostly slot. Recent reports suggest he could compete for the fifth wide receiver spot in Detroit if he makes the team and has received first team snaps with the offense.

The former Milwaukie high school star caught 16 passes for 257 yards in 11 games during the 2017 season and is creating a lot of buzz heading into 2018. Most importantly, he's seemingly already a tremendous rapport with star quarterback Jimmy Garopollo.

"He brings a lot of different traits to the table that it's hard for a defender to cover him," Garoppolo told 49ers.com. "He's deceptively fast but at the same time, he has some wiggle to him. It's a nice combination, and he does a great job of catching the ball. I don't know how many drops he's had all of OTAs, I don't want to jinx him, but he's done a great job for me."

Canaday appeared in 16 games during the 2017 season and was a steady option at long snapper. He has been solid during the offseason for Pittsburgh and is showing he is a good option to keep on the roster. On a more obscure note, Canaday is being a unique position in the NFl apparently doesn't translate to much video game success where Canaday is listed as one of the worst-rated players in Madden NFL 19.

Xavier Coleman, CB, New York Jets (Portland State University)

The former Jesuit high school athlete appeared in just two games during the 2017 season, but the news that Darrelle Revis is retiring means the Jets are thinning a bit at the defensive back position. While Coleman likely won't be in the mix to start, it's possible that he could see more snaps as a rotation defensive back.

Don't Edit

Signed as an undrafted free agent in April, it will be a very tough ask for Crecelius to make the roster for this Ravens squad, but nothing is impossible. Offensive line is a key position in the NFL and injuries can force a team to carry more players on the line than at other positions.

Samson Ebukam, LB, Los Angeles Rams (David Douglas High School)

Don't Edit

Ebukam posted 20 total tackles and two sacks in 16 games during the 2017 season, and has really established himself during the offseason as many seem to think he could take a big step forward in 2018. That's including his coach and defensive coordinator Wade Phillps who even thinks he could be a starter on the edge for a deep and talented Rams defense after a slew of trades cleared the way for him over the summer.

Cornelius Edison, C, Minnesota Vikings (Portland State University)

Don't Edit

Edison did not appear in a regular season game during the 2017 season, and it will be tough for the former Portland State star to breakthrough and earn playing time on a talented veteran roster. A good performance in training camp could be extrememly important for him if he wants to remain on the roster heading into the regular season.

Marcell Frazier, DE, Cleveland Browns (David Douglas High School)

Don't Edit

Frazier was claimed off waivers in May by the Browns who did not add a lot of pass rushing options through free agency or the draft this offseason. With that in mind, Frazier could really make an impact with a strong camp and considering how young and inexperienced this Browns roster will be, he may even be able to earn some playing time.

Cody Hollister, WR, New England Patriots (Mountain View High School)

Cody Hollister did not appear in a regular season game during the 2017 season, and is largely considered a longshot to make the roster for the upcoming season. His brother on the other hand could be more of a factor in New England next year. See more below.

Don't Edit

Jacob Hollister appeared in 15 games during the 2017 season and could be poised to take another step forward in 2018. Hollister is considered the player with the highest ceiling among the options behind starter Rob Gronkowski. Hollister has been a great passcatcher and has already established a good rapport with star quarterback Tom Brady. The real questions is whether or not Hollister can round out his game, improve his blocking and earn himself the second starting spot opposite Gronkowski on the field in front of more seasoned options like Dwayne Allen and Troy Nicklas. The Patriots play a lot of two tight end sets and Hollister could really emerge as a star in the league if he develops. But he has to have a good training camp first. If he doesn't, it's very likely the Patriots opt to keep a steady veteran like Allen instead.

Tyrone Holmes, LB, Kansas CIty (Eagle Point High School)

Holmes appeared in four games during the 2017 season, but was let go by Cleveland. He later signed a reserve/future contract with Kansas City in January. Holmes is an elite athlete with good instincts and a lot of upside. Kansas City seem to believe he can develop into a player and a solid rush option off the edge considering his natural nose for the ball. He is a low-risk, high-reward player near the bottom of the roster for Kansas City, so he doesn't cost them much. If he can polish his game and prove his value in training camp, he might earn some playing time and develop into a gem.

David Mayo, LB, Carolina Panthers (Scappoose High School)

Don't Edit

Mayo appeared in 16 games during the 2017 season for Carolina and has been a steady option on special teams and as a fill in for the injured Luke Kuechly. But now, with Kuechly coming back  it's time for Mayo to prove he can be more than just a special teams guy and crack the regular rotation at the linebacker position as he heads into a critical contract year with the Panthers. A suspension of Thomas Davis will open up playing time early in the year and it's critical the hard-hitting Mayo stays healthy through camp and makes use of that time early in the season to ensure he stays on the roster long term.

Owa Odighizuwa, DE, Buffalo Bills (David Douglas High School)

Odighizuwa did not appear in a regular season game during the 2017 season, and has had a strange road back to training camp after taking some time away from the game last season and leaving the New York Giants. Now, with the Buffalo Bills, Owa has a real chance at redemption. He'll be competing for a depth role for the Bills to start out, but Owa still has a lot of raw athleticism and a great frame that could see him develop into a solid contributor. For that to happen, he'll need to really prove he can be a competent pass rusher early on in camp.

Donovan Olumba, CB, Dallas Cowboys (Portland State University)

Don't Edit

Olumba signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in May, and will likely have a tough time making the roster. However, Dallas seem intent on maximizing their youth in the secondary and have brought in a very skilled secondary coach in Kris Richard who helped build the "Legion of Boom" in Seattle over the years. He's in a great position to learn and with a good camp, he could surprise some people and earn a spot with some luck.

Patrick Onwuasor, LB, Baltimore Ravens (Portland State University)

Don't Edit

Onwuasor really benefited from the Ravens struggles last season and ended up earning a starting job even though he wasn't really expected to be a major factor with Baltimore last year. He posted 90 tackles, one sack and one forced fumble in 16 games during the 2017 regular season, starting in 13 of those. Now, with that experience under his belt, the former Portland State star will look to take another step forward and has the inside track to earning the starting job again. However, he'll have more competition as camp gets underway, so he'll need to prove he can still be their No. 1 option with a healthy Bam Bradley, Kenny Young and Albert McClellan all vying for snaps at his position.

Skyler Phillips, G, Seattle Seahawks (Churchill High School)

Don't Edit

Phillips was signed as an undrafted free agent in April, and while it's tough for players to earn a spot on a veteran-laden team like Seattle, the Seahawks have really had trouble finding consistent and reliable options along the offensive line over the last two season. Phillips is a versatile guard and does his best work blocking in the run game, which Seattle does a lot of. More so than at other positions, offensive lineman like Phillips seem to have a real shot of making the roster and being contributors this season.

Aldrick Rosas, K, New York Giants (Southern Oregon University)

Julio Cortez/AP

Don't Edit

Despite earning the starting job, Rosas converted just 18 of 25 field goals and 20 of 23 extra points during the 2017 season and struggled in many key areas. That has forced the Giants to bring in competition for the kicker job this offseason. Rosas really needs to prove he's the guy in training camp and will be battling Marshall Koehn for the job. He'll need to perform well in camp to ensure the Giants throw their support behind them and keep him on the roster.

DeShawn Shead, DB, Detroit Lions (Portland State University)

Don't Edit

Coming over from Seattle where he appeared in two games during the 2017 season, Shead signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Lions in March. Shead will have to prove he has recovered from a torn ACL in training camp. He was consistently playing with the second team during the spring, but many think Shead could be in the mix to vie for a starting job if he is healthy and on his game.

Don't Edit

Ndamukong Suh, DT, Los Angeles Rams (Grant High School Generals)

Don't Edit

Suh posted 48 total tackles, 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 16 games during the 2017 season with Miami. He signed a one-year, $14 million contract with the Rams in March and many of the veterans on the Los Angeles defense have been excited about his arrival. Expect Suh to be a visible and important part of the Rams defense this season as many believe this team could contend for a championship.

Don't Edit

Tyrell Williams caught 43 passes for 728 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games during the 2017 season for the Chargers after a stellar, breakout season for Los Angeles in 2016. He'll need to prove that was a fluke this season if he wants to earn the trust and targets of quarterback Phillip Rivers. That being said, he is a perfect compliment to No. 1 option Keenan Allen and figures to be a big part of the Chargers offense this year.
