- We could argue that Teddy Veal did the best job of any of the assistants this season with all the injuries he dealt with and how the production was still pretty solid.
- Willis & Crosby could be a nice 1-2 punch in 2024.
- Fields is a nice chess piece if used the right way. He’s got some juice, maybe more of an offensive weapon than a true RB or WR.
- I didn’t love that Thornton basically tried to play hurt all year. He was pretty dang good in 2022, but he wasn’t healthy all season long. Even if the kid wanted to play, I feel like it would’ve helped the team to sit him and get him healthy.
