6th Round Pick: Gary Brightwell, Running Back, Arizona

Chances of Starting Week 1: 5%

It would likely take a catastrophic chain of events for Gary Brightwell to start Week 1.

Brightwell could see snaps on special teams Week 1 as any Round 6 rookie should expect. Unless Saquon Barkley isn’t back for Week 1, veterans Devontae Booker and Corey Clement are somehow supplanted, and Ryquell Armstead lacks in training camp, it seems highly unlikely that Brightwell will start Week 1.
