Caden Davis had a good preseason last year with Denver if I recall.A lot of our fringe guys on the Browns and Patriots had good games tonight. Hopefully it helps their chances to land a roster spot.
For the Browns their 4 leading receivers were White athletes:
TE Sal Cannella (Auburn alum) had 3 catches for 32 yards.
The aforementioned Luke Floriea with the 1 catch for 30 yards.
TE Brenden Bates (Kentucky) with 2 catches for 30.
WR Kaden Davis had 3 catches for 23 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Then late in the game, former Miami Ohio WR Cade McDonald had a short touchdown as well.
For the Pats, our two big UDFA signings did not disappoint.
Efton Chism III was the leading receiver with 6 catches for 50 yards and the TD. He was also used to return punts. Lan Larison had 7 carries for 35 yards and a TD with a few catches and kick return.
Really upset about Larison. Wearing a boot is not a good sign. If he stayed healthy I think he made the active roster, this injury could be career altering given how fragile fringe roster whites careers are. One step back can be all it takes.Skattebo and Larison both injured now, hopefully they can return soon:
Larison was spotted wearing a walking boot following the Patriots' 48-18 preseason win over the Commanders on Friday, Michael Giardi of BostonSportsJournal.com reports. Analysis: Larison went back to the locker room shortly after scoring the Patriots' final touchdown of the game at the 3:25 mark in the fourth quarter, per Zack Cox of the Boston Herald. The walking boot might be a precautionary measure. However, he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, but the undrafted rookie is in danger of missing the Patriots' second preseason contest against the Vikings on Saturday, Aug. 16. Larison finished Friday's game with seven carries for 35 yards and two catches on as many targets for nine yards.
Dart had an excellent debut. Really excited that he can become a starter by midseason and a star in a few years.Dart with a beautiful Td pass one play after he is almost intercepted by Andressen off a deflected pass.
Gosnell played well late in the game. He doesn’t have the build of a slot WR. He looks to be more of a long strider with his build. Needless to say he had some good moves running after the catch.Dart had an excellent debut. Really excited that he can become a starter by midseason and a star in a few years.
For the Giants, return man WR Gunner Olszewski had 5 catches for 27 yards and a TD. For the Bills, WR Stephen Gosnell (Virginia Tech) had 4 catches for 30 yards. He caught all his targets. I doubt he makes the team but would be a prime PS candidate.
As an aside, nearly every White WR has had a positive contribution in every preseason boxscore I have tracked. I think our guys should clearly occupy a larger percentage of the receivers in the NFL.
Quite a contrast to Khalil Mack, who also played at Buffalo and was the fifth pick of the first round. Using a school's alleged lack of strong opponents seems to be used almost solely as a way to greatly diminish the chances of very productive and athletic White players to be successful in the NFL.Bills starting Lb Joe Andressen today. Looks like they cut Baylen Spector with an injury designation this past week.
Andressen played at Buffalo and had a huge season in 2023 before being undrafted and playing well last year in preseason for the Bills. Sounds eerily similar that Shaun Dolac doesn’t it? Same school, uber productive and goes undrafted.
Interesting Swiss Army knife player. Apparently he’s listed as an RB, returner, and can play cornerback, with wide receivers reps/skillsMax Hurleman with a nice catch followed by a TD grab. He's another White UFA who's getting positive publicity in camp:

UDFA Max Hurleman The 'Camp Darling' So Far For Steelers, Kaboly Says
He’s not the biggest name, and he doesn’t seem to have all that strong of a chance of cracking the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 53-man roster coming out of the preseason, but that hasn’t stopped undrafted free agent Max Hurleman from generating some buzz. Hurleman, who is listed as an RB, but can play...steelersdepot.com
Cody Schrader with a 9 yard YD catch.
Brady Cook playing for the Jets. Should have been drafted
Cody Schrader playing well!!
Well I’m not typically interested in kickers but cam little just hit a 70 yard field goal, WOW
Rams have alot to like still! Half of the players to catch a pass (5/10) were White. Stetson Bennett played the whole game and did well. On defense, they played numerous White athletes with Shaun Dolac standing out with 6 tackles.He has 5 rushes for 59 yards so far and 1 rec. for 9 yards. Leading rusher for the Rams!
Drake Stoops with 2 rec. for 28 yards.
