Darkhorse breakout player

[methodtoll]

While we are waiting on training camp, I am curious to hear what your thoughts are on who will be a darkhorse breakout player... 

On offense, I think Ihmir-Smith Marsette will be a secret weapon for us. I just think he needs some playing time this coming season He definitely is shifty and can get that YAC.

Defensively, I am going with DJ Johnson. This dude is quick and just needed to time to adjust to the system but I have a feeling he will be good.

Ian Thomas (this is his last year with the team otherwise)

Horn will remain healthy, Praise Jesus.

Offensively, I will go Harrison Mevis. I think he beats out Eddie and becomes our guy.

Defensively, Josey Jewell. He takes a little bit of the sting off losing Luvu(definitely not saying he will be as good because I don't believe that) and plays very well this season.

Offensively, I think TMJ shows out.

 

Defensively, Horn finally stays healthy and kills a full season

While I believe Mingo and TMJ have the goods. I’m gonna go super saiyan homer and say Bryce Young. 

[LinvilleGorge]

We desperately need it to be Bryce.

I'm gonna go with Mingo. Smitty likes him and said we used him all wrong last year based on his current strengths and weaknesses.

You can’t go with a WR and ignore the QB but really, do people see anyone breaking out there? Maybe Brooks if the OL gels and he is healthy. 

 I’m just going with Corbett. He does the job. Problem solved. If the O works it is because the OL works. If this OL works, he is doing better than anyone here thought.

I'm going with Deonte McCray and Eku Williams

Chau smith wade turns out to be a elite slot CB by the end of the year.

I don’t know, Jewell might be better than Luvu in Evero’s system. He was a 100 plus tackler a season. Luvu is better at pass rushing but I feel like he was playing out of position last year. Plus Luvu was a bit of a liability in coverage.

I hope so. Luvu was a thumper, that's for sure.

If he doesn't do well, we spent all that money on OL for literally nothing. He is one of the most critical elements of this offensive overhaul. If he gets injured or he doesn't pan out, you can go ahead and bank on the season being a mess.

Yeah. But there is a lot on the line, they are willing to spend, yet they went there. There must be something there...
