Break out player prediction thread

Post by Babeinbucland »

So who do you think will be our surprise break out player this year a la Bucky Irving last year?


For me: Tykee Smith

Owen Wright if he makes the team and gets the snaps

Trey Palmer if he makes the team.

Sean Tucker if he gets the carries.

I'll throw in Winfield Jr as he will remind us why he's one of the top Safeties in the league.

Can a rookie be a break out guy?

Last year I’d say it was Baker or maybe Mauch and Goedeke.

This year? I really hope it’s a couple different defenders.

From the vets, Diaby.
From the rookies, Elijah Roberts. His film in the preseason games is sneaky good. Any of our first three round picks could fit here but almost feels like they're all expected to fit in and be good right away.

Yaya Diaby will be a force to be reckoned with this year.

On a team without Evans, Godwin, Egbuka, and Jmac in front of him, he'd be lighting it up until he was injured over the middle.

He's gonna be good as long as he can stay healthy.

I hope so man. He got the tools and the mentality

Either way I hope we got more than 2 sacks out of our edge rushers this year

We desperately need it for sure. I think he will have a stellar year as well.

So it wasn't him. Another year, another gaggle of games lost due to injury. 3 years, he's played in 28 games. And knowing Licht he'll probably exercise his fully guaranteed 5th year because of "player loyalty".

There is is always a chance a man learns from his mistakes.

Jameis Winston.
Vernon Hargreaves.
OJ Howard.

To his credit, he did not exercise JTS's option. So maybe that's a sign that he's learned. But I'm not holding my breath.
