26CornerBlitz Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) Fan favorite Brandon Reilly is ready to play on Sundays ROCHESTER - Brandon Reilly was surprised how quickly he became a fan favorite at last years training camp. "I'm not complaining," laughed Reilly. "It means a lot. I see it, but I try not to look into that stuff too much. I do appreciate it thought and I hope I can get out there on Sundays and make them proud."

Paul Costa Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 It’s early. Very early. It would be great for him to crack the 53. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) My favorite underdog rookie this year is Proehl... he caught everything ... it would be something if both Proehl and Reilly become good players for us Edited July 28, 2018 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I hope Brandon Reilly makes this team. I also think Ray-Ray MacCloud makes it at slot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Arnold Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Based on reports so far (including OTA's and minicamp), I'm thinking the WR ranking currently looks something like this... 1. Kelvin Benjamin 2. Jeremy Kerley 3. Andre Holmes 4. Malachi Dupree 5. Brandon Reilly 6. Rod Streater 7. Robert Foster 8. Zay Jones 9. Quan Bray 10. Kaelin Clay 11. Raymond McCloud 12. Austin Proehl 13. Cam Phillips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermott is noticeably frustrated with the offseason he's had and Jones was overwhelmed all of last season. This isn't the Rex/Whaley regime. Beane and McDermott are always looking to improve every position and no one is safe because of where they were drafted. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands look solid and he's said to be quick and a good route runner. Malachi Dupre is the other guy I want to shine. His hands look solid too and I think he may have pretty good speed.

MAJBobby Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 1. Kelvin Benjamin 2. Zay Jones 3. Jeremy Kerley 4. Andre Holmes These are likely Locks for the 53. So i think there is Likely two spots open to grab. Now I could spin a scenario as well that Kerley and Holmes get bumped off roster but unlikely.

John from Riverside Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Brandon was my player to suprisingly make the team this year....and I really felt he should have been on the team LAST year.

Holmes is consistently getting reps with the first team and plays a crucial part on special teams. Someone is going to have to step up and beat him out at both spots in order for him to not make the team. Reilly seems to be on the right track.

Rookies drafted after the 4th round are far from locks and truly have to earn their spots on the 53 man roster. It's still early in camp, but at this moment Proehl and McCloud have a tall hill to climb. Make more plays and get reps with the 2nd team and they'll move up.
