While the scoreboard is irrelevant, don't let the anti-football people tell you the NFL preseason doesn't matter.
The games are significant for players who are looking to prove themselves, whether that be to make the 53-man roster or to carve out a role on the team during the regular season. With clubs finalizing the roster yesterday, here we'll focus on the latter category and dive into six players who were standouts over the last month and are breakout candidates this fall.
To qualify, a player must be entering Year 4 or less this season, hasn't been a full-time starter yet in his career and, of course, had to have a notable performance in the preseason.
