For players on the rise, I would have to say Robert Henry Jr.
It's a little bit of a cop-out, given his performance against the Miami Dolphins, but he's looked impressive in camp with his burst and vision. He's going to continue getting more opportunities with Jeremy McNichols sidelined by an injury, and I'm intrigued by what he'll do tomorrow.

I was skeptical of this group at first, but I actually really like them. I like the versatility of the room now, with @Jacory Croskey-Merritt 's explosiveness and @Rachaad White 's pass-catching. It's obviously still early, but my top three today would be Bill, White and the rookie, Kaytron Allen (I can't bring myself to call anyone "Fatman." Sorry, Kaytron). Allen maybe raw, but he has the natural instincts of a back — the vision, the decisiveness, the burst — that can't always be taught. And I'm not sure he'd clear waivers if they cut him. The fourth guy on my list, as of now, would be @Jeremy McNichols . He's proved over the last couple of years that he can step in and be that third-down back and get some chunk plays.
