Solak's NFL training camp superlatives: 10 awards, including 'most likely to succeed with a new offense'

Ben Solak’s yearbook-style look at the early 2026 NFL training-camp season hands out “superlatives” across teams and players, with 10 awards ranging from performance to outlook. Among his most notable picks is “most likely to succeed with new offense,” highlighting Aaron Donald and the Los Angeles Rams as a team poised to meet high expectations. Solak argues the Rams’ 2025 defense was already strong—fifth in defensive success rate and sixth in defensive EPA per drive—while noting Donald is 35 and likely won’t immediately play 40-snaps-a-game. He also credits offseason upgrades including edge Myles Garrett and cornerback Trent McDuffie.
