The hopeful #1, Josh Lenz

Josh Lenz, The former Iowa State receiver has yet to play a regular season game in the NFL after going undrafted in 2013.

Vitals
Height: 6-foot
Weight: 194
Age: 25
No career stats

Lenz has bounced all over the league in his brief career. He was originally signed by the Chicago Bears and has since been with the Seattle Seahawks, Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns and now the Houston Texans.

Unfortunately for him, the competition wasn’t as fierce last season and he couldn’t crack the roster. Things won’t change much for Lenz in 2016.

Season prediction: Cut before 53-man roster is finalized

The hopeful #2, Wendall Williams

If the name Wendall Williams sounds familiar it won’t be because of a huge college career, but rather his blazing 4.19 second 40-yard dash time at his pro day.

Vitals
Height: 5-foot-10
Weight: 186 pounds

Williams put up minimal stats while at the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky and had it not been for his sensational speed, he most likely wouldn’t have been signed to an NFL roster.

He’s a nice story, but that’s not enough to make an NFL team, especially one loaded at wide receiver.

Season prediction: Cut before 53-man roster is finalized
