Julian Blackmon

Julian Blackmon was a late addition during training camp last off-season and instantly made a name for himself. This, plus impressive preseason performances, earned him a starting role in week one. Sadly, he tore his right labrum and spent the rest of the year on injured reserve. Now, he’s fully recovered and is in line for another spectacular training camp, especially since Jonas Sanker is likely moving to the STAR position.

Lorenzo Styles Jr.

Lorenzo Styles was quiet during the pre-draft cycle, as his brother and the rest of the Ohio State prospects were getting the hype, and has remained so this offseason because of a labrum injury. However, the versatile player will contend for the STAR role and be a major contributor on special teams. Don’t be shocked to see him garnish some praise and frequent reps.
