The preseason is in the books which means actual football is almost here. We spend some eight months identifying the best college players and Glenn Robinson Jersey predicting how their games will translate to the NFL, but ultimately it's an educated gue sing game. After six weeks of training camps, joint practices and preseason games, we have some real-world data about some of our favorites, as well as some under-the-radar guys who are poised for rookie seasons not many of us saw coming. Here are 10 impre sive rookie performances from the preseason that could portend big things in the coming months. QB , Except for general manager Dave Gettleman, who reportedly fell in love with Jones at the Senior Bowl and then, three months later, shocked the rest of us by drafting him with the No. 6 overall pick, the former Duke quarterback has been the biggest surprise of the preseason. We're on record as saying we liked -- but didn't love -- Jones' game and thought it made more sense for the Giants to target him in the middle or bottom part of Round 1. Part of that was because while he did many things well in college, nothing . Perhaps some of that was a function of playing at Duke, where the offensive line was suspect and Jones' receivers dropped too many pa ses. Well, Jones has been the best quarterback on New York's roster even though the plan, as decreed by ownership, is that 38-year-old is firmly entrenched atop the depth chart. For how long? That's another matter. Jones entered the final week of preseason completing 83 percent of his throws with 2 touchdowns, 0 interceptions and a 140.1 pa ser rating. He's not perfect -- he did lose two fumbles -- but there's just so much to like about his game. Here are two throws from the preseason matchup against the that had Giants fans forgetting that time in late April where they were booing the Jones pick and shaking their fist at Gettleman's incompetence. Dont mi s this throw by Daniel Jones (Via ) USA TODAY NFL (@usatodaynfl) Daniel Jones throw 8Gives his guy a chance and gets it before the Safety can react! Gain of 35 yards Talkin Giants (@TalkinGiants) Yes, we know: several good throws isn't indicative of a Hall of Fame career. But it's something -- and better than the alternative: a rookie first-rounder struggling through his first preseason. QB , BengalsThat preseason Week 3 matchup between the Giants and Bengals featured two future starting NFL quarterbacks. And while we expect to see Jones at some point in '19, don't be surprised if Finley, the fourth-rounder out of N.C. State makes his way onto the field for regular snaps at some point this season Jonathan Villar Jersey too. In his final three years, Finley threw for 10,501 yards, 60 touchdowns and 25 interceptions and was the best anticipation thrower in college last fall. The i sue is that he lacks elite arm strength to drive Orlando Arcia Jersey the ball downfield, especially to the sidelines. But Finley does everything else well, which not only explains why he's had succe s so soon into his NFL career but that he ended up getting drafted ahead of teammates and , big-play wide receivers who went in Round 6 and undrafted, respectively. . with easily the best performance by a rookie QB in this preseason. The ball barely touched the ground in his 39 impre sive snaps. Brian Baldinger (@BaldyNFL) In his first three preseason games, Finley completed 73.4 percent of his throws with 3 touchdowns, 1 interception and a 99.3 pa ser rating. It's reasonable to think that if struggles, first-year coach Zac Taylor would have no qualms about turning the offense over to Finley. WR Jakobi Meyers, The run on N.C. State players continues with Meyers, which also begins the run on Patriots rookies. Meyers had a solid-but-not-spectacular showing at the Senior Bowl, where Finley told us the slot receiver was his security blanket in college. Meyers, who ran just a 4.63 40-yard time at the combine, went undrafted but landed in New England where's he put up eye-popping numbers in his first three preseason games: 19 receptions, 225 yards and 2 touchdowns. By comparison, Pats first-rounder , , had two grabs for 36 yards over that same span. Jakobi Meyers is having a wail of a preseason. Showing every trait in his arsenal, great job fighting through contact. Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) Meyers is a near certainty to make the 53-man roster, which means' the Pats' receivers corps could include, , a just-reinstated , , , Harry and Meyers.QB , PatriotsStidham was one of our favorite players coming into the draft last spring. Unfortunately for him, his junior season at Auburn was marred by some pretty bad football. In Stidham's defense, he played behind a subpar offensive line and his receivers did little to help him. He entered last season with first-round buzz but lasted until Round 4 before the Pats called his name. Still, the athleticism and arm strength have always been there and we've seen glimpses of it this preseason. Through three games, Stidham's completed 69.4 percent of his throws with 2 touchdowns, 0 interceptions and a 104.6 pa ser rating. And while the Patriots , Christian Yelich Jersey Pro Football Focus ranks him as the behind and -- and, notably, ahead of Daniel Jones. EDGE , PatriotsThere was a chance last spring that three Michigan players -- all on defense -- could go in the first round. and heard their names called, but Winovich somehow lasted until Round 3. Leave it to the Patriots to land him and immediately see him play like a first-round talent. Through three preseason games, gives him a pa s-rush grade of 91.6, logged him with 12 total pre sures, and has Winovich with a pa s-rush win percentage of 36.7. That speed.That strength.That hair. Rookie DE Chase Winovich had it ALL going on in Week 2. NFL (@NFL) Winovich like a Patriots player, and he'll offer some much-needed depth at pa s rusher. LB Devin Bush, Bush played with Winovich at Michigan and in Pittsburgh he has the daunting task of trying to replace . The Steelers thought so much of Bush that they traded up 10 spots to No. 10 overall to take him and Matt Garza Jersey the early results have exceeded expectations. Bush ran a 4.43 at the combine and his sideline-to-sideline speed makes him an a set in coverage, something the team has lacked since Shazier was injured late in the 2017 season. Bush had 10 tackles against the Bucs in Week 1 and was solid against the in Week 3 (he didn't play in the Week 2 preseason game against the ). Watch Devin Bush bully the Bucs LT! SteelVideos (@SteelBlitzburgh) Devin Bush first play of the game tonight Steelers Depot (@Steelersdepot) A much-improved Steelers' defense will have everything to do with Bush's presence on the field -- and expect him to be the starter from Day 1. Wilson entered last season with first-round expectation but a pedestrian season at Alabama saw his stock fall and he lasted until the fifth round. His best preseason performance came in Week 1 against the . Wilson had two pa ses defended, two intercepti
