Tight End

Vance McDonald

This one may come as a surprise to some people, but tight end Vance McDonald has had a stellar training camp so far and it has shown in his play.

Against the Texans, McDonald finished with two receptions for 53 yards and one touchdown. McDonald has seemed to catch everything that has come his way this year and, so far, it doesn’t look to be slowing up anytime soon.

McDonald should get the nod here.
