Organized team activities have started around the NFL, and with these organized events, we get a look at the new faces in new places. Another fun facet of OTAs is that we see rookies take the field to practice with veterans. Plenty of first-year players are expected to make immediate impacts in 2024, but which ones appear to be making an impact from the jump?

Below we will break down a few rookies making headlines early at OTAs. We will discuss some notable names, key injuries and then also some players to keep an eye on as we progress through training camp and the preseason. Let’s start with the quarterbacks selected in the first round.

Football games aren’t won and lost in May, but No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams has made an impact for the Chicago Bears at OTAs. He’s one of the many rookies putting these “highlight-reel plays” on film that make the rounds on social media, but you can’t put much stock into those. What you can put stock into is how head coach Matt Eberflus says both the rookies and veterans have rallied around the USC product.

“Once [Tony] Romo got hurt, when he went down in that preseason game out in Seattle, the team just rallied around [Prescott],” Eberflus said, via SI.com. “And I feel that already in our building here. Everybody’s rallying around him. You can feel that with the reps that we got with some of the first on-field stuff we’ve done, with the veterans. You can see the offense, they’re real supportive and same with the defensive guys. And his personality is infectious. He gets along with everybody; he’s very easy to insert into a locker room.”
