RB Carson Steele, Kansas City Chiefs: Steele impressed with his punishing running style during his professional debut. He averaged one yard per touch during the Chiefs’ second contest.

Edge Laiatu Latu, Indianapolis Colts: Latu was a consistently disruptive edge defender in Week 1. The Colts coaching staff chose not to play starters during the second preseason game, thus Latu wasn’t on the field.

Edge Austin Booker, Chicago Bears: After piling up pressures and looking explosive through two preseason contests, the Cincinnati Bengals, specifically backup left tackle Jaxson Kirkland, kept the edge-rusher in check.

TE Ben Sinnott, Washington Commanders: Sinnott looked like a legitimate offensive weapon his first preseason appearance. He primarily played in-line during the second.

CB Nate Wiggins, Baltimore Ravens: Wiggins played as well as anyone during his debut. Unfortunately, he suffered a shoulder injury that will likely keep him out for the rest of the preseason.

QB Drake Maye, New England Patriots: After a shaky first appearance, Maye looked like a natural playmaker during his second. So much so, the rookie may find himself in the lineup sooner than expected.

RB Sione Vaki, Detroit: The collegiate safety continues to be impressive as he transitions to running back while contributing in multiple phases of the game.

LB Omar Speights, Los Angeles Rams: The undrafted rookie was all over the field against the Los Angeles Chargers, with a team-leading eight total tackles and two tackles for loss.

Edge Xavier Thomas. Arizona Cardinals: Thomas is providing the Cardinals defense with some juice to help what could be an anemic pass rush. He registered a sack, two quarterback hits and multiple pressures against the Indianapolis Colts’ backups.

Edge Jonah Elliss, Denver Broncos: Elliss has found himself on this list during back-to-back weeks. The rankings are offense-heavy this week, but Elliss could very well crack the lineup before the preseason is complete.
