The 5 o’clock club is published from time to time during the season, and aims to provide a forum for reader-driven discussion at a time of day when there isn’t much NFL news being published. Feel free to introduce topics that interest you in the comments below.

Looking back over the past few seasons at the initial 53-man rosters under Ron Rivera, I found that these are the numbers of guys he has generally started the season with, by position:
- RB = 3 or 4
- WR = 6 or 7
- TE = 4
- OL = 9
- DB = 10 or 11
- LB = 4 to 6
- DL = 9
Below, I have listed one player from each of these position groups that I think is “on the bubble”, along with a thumbnail sketch of the player.
