Eric Murray

Murray is a quality player but might have a tough time at the corner logjam. Murray is going to be behind Peters and Gaines for sure, and then has to contend with a pair of third-round picks in Steven Nelson and Russell. Should Murray be a stud in camp, he stands a chance to play but look for his contributions to be on special teams.

Demarcus Robinson

If I had to pick one other player to see ample time, it’s Robinson. We all know Jeremy Maclin is the top dog at receiver, but Robinson will legitimately fight for the second spot with Albert Wilson, Rod Streater and Chris Conley. My guess is Conley wins the spot with Streater kicking inside, but Robinson has serious talent.

Kevin Hogan

Hogan has absolutely zero chance of starting. If he does, it will be a brutal season. He will contend for a backup role with Aaron Murray and Tyler Bray, perhaps falling anywhere on the depth chart from second to released.

Tyreek Hill

Hill doesn’t have a defined role on the team, listed as both a running back and receiver. Frankly, he’s reality is as a returner because of his world-class speed. Much of his playing time will depend on whether De’Anthony Thomas and/or Knile Davis is cut or traded.
