Running back Emmett Johnson stunned everyone with his preseason play, while fifth-rounder Cyrus Allen needs to prove himself. QB Garrett Nussmeier, a late-round pick, has Reid’s stamp of approval. The offensive line got unexpected upgrades with UDFA Kahlil Benson and Diego Pounds, and safety Xavier Nwankpa — aggressive, athletic, and undrafted — earned his spot. Veach’s rookie class?
