Seriously, I was talking about Carlos on KO returns and he'll get a few catches too!
I'd like to see DeAngelo make the team as well. Dudes got some "it" factor as a RB, I like what film I've seen in him.

Sunshine and Derby are due, as rookies go, DeAngelo is my pick of the two Hendersons. We might finally have a RB that doesn't clutch at something everytime he gets tackled. Bolles is going to be a stud!

I like how you're thinking.
Charles - Derby - Henderson - Watson are good choices.
I'll add McKenzie as a punt returner and I bet Bolles has a solid rookie campaign

4 Players I have high hopes for on offense, where when and why.
I think discounting Jamaal Charles is a mistake. He's returning from injury, not poor play. So with that in mind, I have high expectations for his role in the offense.
When we played NE in the Championship game two seasons ago, they ran their back (White) down the sideline and tried to make big gains by throwing to him. We had linebackers (Marshall and Trevathan) who prevented that.
Last year against the Falcons, we had no such answers to those plays by Coleman out of the backfield.
Charles has this ability in spades. In fact, he used it against us two years ago, but was thankfully dislodged of the ball near the goal line.
A.J. Derby. We had a limited sample size of him last year, but what I saw was grit, toughness, and a willingness to mix it up with anyone. Not to mention, he has pretty good hands. He won't press the seem like Gronk or Julius Thomas, but he's better than he's had the chance to show so far. I look for, at the very least, a big showing in training camp, to let the coaches know he's a legitimate threat over the middle.
Carlos Henderson. My gut tells me he's going to emerge, sometime before November, as the wide receiver we wanted Latimer to be when we drafted him. This young man runs angry, knees high, full tilt, and can gather himself in traffic like he's been doing it a long time. He's going to open some eyes.
Watson. I think there is so much attention being paid to the left tackle spot (rightly so) that the deficit we had at right tackle seems to be forgotten. Menelik is going to be an upgrade, or the line is going to suffer. So it's not that I can point to anything with Watson, other than blind hope.
Thoughts?

Keep an eye on Rip Van Winkle from Catskills Tech...he's a real sleeper.

2- McKenzie will provide big play spark ⚡️ from Day 1
