With a new coach, this year's training camp promises to be an intense one, with plenty of veterans who had guaranteed spots finding themselves on shakier ground in 2015. I wanted to highlight five players who really need effective camps and preseasons to stick around and have an impact.
I'm drilling in a little deeper than the usual suspects, which include oft-discussed players like Tevin Coleman, Ra'Shede Hageman and Jalen Collins. These are players who are effectively competing for top backup roles, if not their roster spots, and are worthy of being highlighted because of how critical training camp will be to their chances of sticking around.
