Look at people's love for Cobi Hamilton for example. Jayson DiManche even made a name for himself here. The list could go on.

So, which player do you think will be our preseason star?

I think Jake Kumerow is an easy pick, and I could see it. But I think this year's preseason star is going to be Clayton Fejedelem.

Nick Vigil!

Honorable mentions, Tra Carson at RB and Marquis Flowers at LB.

Those 4 should all be getting tons of playing time. There is just too many players to think about.

But i have to go with Billings, the rookie i have had the most hope for in some time. His strength to go along with his athleticism for a big man is special. I also think he is a better pass rusher than some give him credit for. If they don't double him he simply wins.

And I think he was a fine pass rusher.  Next to Geno he would reek havoc shoving the interior pocket into the QB and penetrating the interior gaps.

I just hope they give him the snaps.  If they do Peko will be well rested, and between Geno, Peko, Billings and Williams we should have a devastating rotation.

I'm also hoping that the knee injury at the beginning of the season last year slowed MJ down and that he will be more of a force off the edge this year.

watched Baylor and i honestly think all the teams in the NFL besides us made a huge mistake. His height should
hurt him about as much as it did Geno who is an inch shorter.

He can get low just like Geno and force interior OL right into the RB or QB. Dude is too strong to not double.

It will be fun times once he gets to start next to Atkins. I think it will be by midseason just cause it will take the
coaches that long to be forced to play him but once it happens look out.

BTW, i also really like Deshawn Williams. The DT position will be stacked this year which is awesome and i think
Peko will be much better with less snaps.

I'm hoping Guenther and Burney thump the table to get him into the starting lineup.
