Who will be this year's surprise player?


Jeremy Igo

Last year in training camp, it was Andrew Norwell. Norwell showed early flashes, like below man handling Kony Ealy in one on one drills.

Most of the media saw it as Ealy coming along too slowly. Turns out it was just Norwell being.. well,.. Norwell.

Who is your pick for surprise player of 2015? A guy not predicted to make the team but steps in and makes a major contribution.

if byrd turns out to be a punt or kick returning phenom it could really shake things up at several roster positions.

I am really trying to temper my enthusiasm over that kid until the pads are on and he takes a hit. Huge potential there, just worry a bit about his frame at this level.

I'll go with Kurt Coleman. He's expected to make the roster, but many have already penciled in Harper as the starter. Also I think Big Frank will have a breakout year and help us forget Hardy, but I don't think that would be a huge surprise to many. We all know he has the talent, just has to stay on the field.

I say Funchess. I know he is a second round guy so maybe doesn't count as "surprise", but from a national perception point of view it seems a lot of people thought he would be a slow tight end with bad hands. If he can have a season similar to Kelvin's rookie season then I'd say that would be a pleasant surprise.

I really, really think people are going to enjoy Artis-Payne. Maybe not right off of the bat, but I could see him breaking out in December..

 

With that being said though I really like Fozzy too. So it's tough for me to pick between the two for the backup spot

    • It's definitely a historical issue at QB but to be perfectly blunt, we also don't do a good job of really developing almost any position if you look at the last decade or so. I tend to be on the side of that being far less a development issue than an evaluation deficiency.  I think we are in the situation at QB2/3 recently due to the overall roster being absolutely abhorrent and the QB classes being quite thin. It is harder to justify another Matt Corral(or several) when you can potentially get a real two deep contributor at other positions.  But, it was a lot of hard work to get to the point where are roster is so incredibly bad that luxury picks literally are not in our vocabulary.  This is the reaping what you sow portion of our history.
    • That is what I meant about our front office. They are like someone filling out a March Madness bracket based on preference of uniform colors and mascots. There's no rhyme of reason to some of these fugg'n mind numbing decisions they make.  They go all in on these flimsy-@ss prospects and are gun shy when it comes to more solid prospects.  It's literally maddening and the reason I stopped being so emotionally involved in this team. Heck the only reason I'm active on the board today is one, it's my day off and two, it's cut down time.
