- Backup cornerbacks Karon Prunty, Kindle Vildor, and Charles Woods stood out defensively, with Prunty notably intercepting a pass during practice, highlighting depth at the position.
- Running back Lan Larison emerged as a potential third-string option behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, showing promise despite limited opportunities last season due to injury.
- Wide receiver DeMario Douglas led the team in targets and catches during 11-on-11 drills, making an impression amid the absence of more experienced receivers Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins.
