That Derwin James guy is pretty ok I guess....

Uchenna Nwosu

He has started really playing well since the return of Bosa.  He's rotated as a 3rd pass rusher and a off ball LB, still has a ton of unrealized potential. 

Justin Jones

He's not going to get a lot of hype, but he's been imperative as a backup rotational DT.  He's played the 3T, the NT spot and really does so much for us in the run game.  He's purely a dirty work DT and hasn't put up much in terms of stats, but he's played a very important role as Mebane's backup since both he and Liuget have missed time.

Kyzir White

We could throw his name in contention for steal of the draft up until he got hurt. He' was a stud as a Will LB for us, and did an outstanding job in coverage, and attacking outside runs.  Struggled a bit when they ran directly at him, but he's a valuable matchup asset as a guy who can shut down and play with TE's.

Scott Quessenberry

Thank god, he hasn't needed to play, but has been active as a backup C/G.  For once we have had a very healthy IOL, so this is a big TBD.

Dylan Cantrell

Really hasn't gotten a chance.  He got hurt early in preseason and didn't make the roster, but was put on the PS.  He finally got signed off the PS last week or two but I don't think he's been active at all.

Justin Jackson

He's been a real surprise here.  He's a productive and very efficient back that can handle a lot of jobs.  He's an insanely patient runner with some wiggle to him, which has made him very good when he's been needed after Gordon/Ekeler went out.  He's not going to be special, but he's a reliable 2nd/3rd back, and thats really vaulable with the way this position can get hurt.
