7. Thomas Rawls, RB, Seahawks

Fighting for a roster spot, there were some really good plays from Rawls in the preseason opener against Denver.

He looked powerful, decisive, and tough to take down in limited action, and even at one point motioned to the Seattle coaching staff to keep feeding him the ball.

He led the team in carries, but it was a nice 19-yard touchdown reception that put a stamp on an impressive night overall for the rookie out of Central Michigan. With the depth Seattle has at running back, it would be a bit of a shock to see Rawls make the team or take any regular season carries, but his progress is worth monitoring.
