24. Eric Kush

Eric Kush spent three seasons in the NFL before catching on with the Chicago Bears. However, in 2016, with injuries across the line, Kush was thrown into action. In eight games, he started four for the Chicago Bears. He showed powerful as an interior lineman who can play center and guard.

There was buzz for Kush heading into the 2017 season. Then, a torn hamstring ended his year in the summer. Kush is heading into 2018 trying to reinstall that buzz around his name.

So far, it has worked. Despite being drafted in the second round, early reports out of OTAs are that Kush and James Daniels will enter training camp in a direct competition.

Daniels has the edge, obviously. He is more athletic and has plenty more upside. However, Kush is stronger now with more experience. It should be an interesting battle in camp.

Guard is going to be a strong suit this season. While he could be a third guard with little impact, he could also be a key starter on a strong unit. That value gets him into the top 25.
