Harris took significant reps throughout voluntary and minicamp practices, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

With Tyler Higbee a non-participant at OTAs, Harris had the opportunity to showcase his talents at practice. The fourth-round pick from Central Florida played wide receiver in college but is expected to compete at tight end in the NFL due to his size. He will compete with Brycen Hopkins and Johnny Mundt going forward for the opportunity to back up Higbee.

Darden (hamstring) was impressive during OTAs and is expected to compete for both the punt and kick return jobs, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Darden was absent from some of minicamp due to a hamstring issue, but overall he made a strong impact. While he was reportedly fearless over the middle in terms of receiving, his biggest impact could potentially come in the return game. He is expected to compete with Jaydon Mickens for both the punt and kick return jobs.

Winfree has impressed during OTAs and minicamp, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Winfree, a 2019 sixth-round pick by the Broncos, has suited up for just five career games. However, he has stood out during OTAs and looks like he has the potential to earn a roster spot. Green Bay's receiving depth chart is pretty set through the first four, but there is room to earn a role after that.

Hinton was a standout during the Broncos' OTAs, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Hinton is most remembered for his role under center in Week 12 last season, which he took on 24 hours notice when the team had no actual quarterback available. He will face tough odds to land on the team's final roster due to a crowded depth chart at receiver, but he is seemingly off to a good start. Starting quarterback, Drew Lock stated, "he's super-aggressive to the ball. You feel like you can throw him the ball one-on-one and he's going to get it."

Goodwin displayed his elite speed on multiple occasions during the Bears' offseason program and could give the team another deep threat, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.

Goodwin opted out of the 2020 season after signing with the Eagles, so his last action came back in 2019, when he racked up just 12 catches for 186 yards and a touchdown over nine games with the 49ers. He's not locked into consistent playing time with Chicago, so a good training camp to follow his good start in the Windy City could go a long way to getting him on the field consistently this fall.

Shenault played well during OTAs and minicamp and was arguably Jacksonville's best offensive player, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

The 22-year-old had an up-and-down rookie campaign with the Jaguars' revolving door at quarterback, but he, and the rest of the offense, will receive some stability in 2021 with Trevor Lawrence (hamstring) taking over at quarterback. Shenault flashed his potential Week 17 with six catches for 68 yards and two scores, and he's apparently carried over that performance into his offseason work. The 2020 second-round pick should enter training camp with a clear grip on the No. 3 job at wideout behind DJ Chark and Marvin Jones.

Hodgins has received praise from coach Sean McDermott and quarterback Josh Allen for his impressive work during OTAs and minicamp after posting a standout performance in the sessions, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Hodgins reportedly impressed during last year's training camp as well but was sidelined before the season began by a shoulder injury that required surgery, and he never returned. He essentially enters 2021 as a rookie and has a lot of talent ahead of him, so he will need to continue impressing in training camp if he wants to secure a spot on the final roster. Hodgins should at least have some preseason action in 2021 to show what he can do.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury indicated after full-squad minicamp that Moore has shown the ability to make the first man miss and stated "he's going to be a guy that's going to be fun to try to draw stuff up for, and see how many times we can get it to him," Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

While he's undersized at just 5-foot-7, Moore's athleticism jumps off the charts and it sounds like Kingsbury intends to draw up some plays to take advantage of that. Given that the Cardinals have a plethora of good wide receivers, it remains to be seen exactly how large the second-round rookie's target share will be, but Kingsbury's comments certainly seem to suggest Moore should be involved in the game plan out of the gate.

Adams and the Packers are in the early stages of discussing a contract extension, Paulina Dedaj of FOX News reports.

Adams is entering the fourth and final season of a four-year, $58 million extension, with his $12.25 million base salary an obvious bargain for the Packers after the wideout enjoyed a career-best campaign in 2020. While the uncertainty surrounding QB Aaron Rodgers is far from ideal, Adams says it won't impact his preparation for the upcoming season, nor will it dissuade him from discussing a new contract with the Packers. He'd be an obvious candidate for the franchise tag next offseason if the two sides aren't able to work out a long-term deal.

Boyd will work alongside Tee Higgins and No. 5 overall pick Ja'Marr Chase in a talented Cincinnati receiving corps, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Boyd didn't get much work in two-wide formations last season, so the addition of Chase shouldn't have too much impact on the slot man's playing time. Targets could be a different matter, though the Bengals have consistently fed passes to their wide receivers (rather than RBs or TEs) under coach Zac Taylor, who ranks among the NFL leaders in usage of three-wide sets. While he may not see a ton of looks downfield or in the red zone, Boyd should still be a key part of the Cincinnati passing game in his sixth pro season.
