Who will leave a great impression?

For many of the players, this could be the final time they ever suit up for an NFL game. These are all players who are working hard to achieve their dreams and become the best at their positions to secure their future and their family’s future.

Sadly, most of them will be unemployed following the last round of roster cuts, as approximately 1 out of every 3 players will be released. A handful of them will land on a practice squad. A select few will get looks from another team. But most will be left looking for other work while honing their game until hoping their phone rings next year.

These players are well aware of that and will be playing with everything they have during these games. Considering this is the last impression they get to leave on the league and fans, the players go all out and want to make as many plays as possible for other teams to look at on tape.

It will be great to watch these guys give it their all and root for them to succeed in achieving their dreams.
