Wide Receivers

  • Marquise Goodwin
  • Dante Pettis
  • Deebo Samuel
  • Jalen Hurd
  • Jordan Matthews
  • Richie James

The speedy veteran Goodwin, the do-it-all youngster Pettis, and the rookies Samuel and Hurd all look like locks to make the roster. There has been a big battle throughout the preseason for the last couple of spots at the receiver position with Jordan Matthews and Richie James separating themselves from the pack in recent weeks.
