Who is your teams breakout player going to be? I know its hard to tell because the draft hasn't even happened yet. But im talking about current players on your team.Baltimore RavensOffense - Mark Clayton - He did pretty good last year, but I think this year he will be alot better. Mark Clayton proved to be a reliable receiver with nice hands and good speed. I can't wait to see what he'll do this year with the ball most likely coming his way more.Defense - Bart Scott - He did great taking over for Ray Lewis. I wanna see what he's capable of doing playing a full season. He has alot of potential to be a top LB and he showed it last season.
San Francisco 49ersOffense - Frank Gore - He did well last year with the opportunities he had. He started one game and ended up having the most rushing yards for the entire team.Defense - Shawntae Spencer - He's been around good receivers for along time (played against Larry Fitzgerald in practice for college) and has been improving every year, this is the year he becomes a top 15 corner.
JetsOffense - Chris Baker - TE, Brian Shottenheimer ran the team with Antonio Gates as the Tight End in San Diego last season, im sure hes picked up a few tricks on how to make Baker a much better player. Defense - Justin Miller - CB, even though we signed Dyson, I expect big things from Justin Miller next season.
Washington RedskinsOffense - Derrick Dockery - D-Dock hasn't had a bad career to begin with, but being around guys like Jon Janson, Chris Samuels, Randy Thomas for so long will bring about some more noticable improvement. I know it's hard for an O-Lineman to "breakout" but I see Dockery stepping up in every way he can next season.Defense - Carlos Rogers - Playing behind Shawn Springs last season, and bothered by injuries, Rogers didn't have too many opportunities to show what he has to offer, but in every one of those games he played, he played his ass off, my favorites were the Chargers game and the Cardinals game. Carlos is gonna show the world why the Redskins chose him with their first round pick in 2005. I see him really breaking out next season.
Minnesota Vikings-Offense- Troy Williamson- Troy had a sub par rookie year last year due to the fact that he was Mike Tice's idiotic doghouse. In early camp drills Brad Childress said that he was extremely impressed by troy. The departure of Nate Burleson leaves an open spot in the recieving corps. Troy fits the West Coast Offense well with his great YAC potential. He is also a deep threat with 4.3 speed. Honorable Mention- Marcus Johnson- Had an OK rookie year but will be in a starting role this year. Look for him to excel on a line with Hutchinson, Birk and Mckinnie. Defense- EJ Henderson- EJ had a decent year last year despite the fact that he played in Ted Cotrell's system, one of the worst in the NFL. This year under Mike Tomlin in the Cover 2, the somewhat speedy Henderson should make a good transition and have a breakout season.
Carolina PanthersOffense-Keyshawn Johnson-He got here from Dallas, and didn't get the ball much. This year, the Panthers finally got the number two reciever that so sorely needed, and that'll take the pressure off the should've been MVP, Steve Smith.Defense-Kris Jenkins-He's only played 5 games in the past two seasons. One in the last season, I think he'll step up his game and stay healthy this year. Watch out, he can be a force when he's healthy.
Pittsburgh SteelersOffense- Willie Parker Nobody knew he was gonna start from day 1 but he earned his dues to play that role. This guy had a terrific season last year so hopefully he'll become a much better player this season. I'm sure he learned a lot from Jerome so I hope this guy have a breakout year because he is such a great athlete.Defense - Bryant McFadden I know he didn't have a lot of playing time but he played a whole lot in the playoffs. He did great for us. I think he can become a shutdown corner in the next few years because he is really learning quickly. He will be starting for us next year so hopefully he will do a lot of great things for our team because he has a lot of talents.
RamsOffense - Steven Jackson. Was supposed to have it last season, but things didn't work out. He expects to get 1700+ yards rushing this season, and I forgot how many TDs (He said this in an article on the Rams site).Defense - Jerametrius Butlery. He's coming off of a broken leg, and I think he'll explode. Had 5 INTs in the 2004 season. Best cornerback we have as of right now, and he'll show it this season.
ColtsO- Whoever runs the ball for us. Count on them for 1200+ maybe even more. Bryon Fletcher: Looks like there will be more and more 2 TE sets, and fletcher has the hands and speed to be a great threat up the middle of the field. I cant believe the Bears cut him.D: Gary Brackett: He played damn well last year but look at what all of our linebackers do in their 2nd year as a starter.......... Thornton elevated his game, June tunred himself into a superstar and I don't think Brackett will be any different.

Defense- Boss Bailey. The dude has one of the quickest first steps I have seen. He uses it so good to, playing possum and jumps in front of the opposition and snatches the ball up(well he dropped a few last year). He's got tons of speed and with the new regime, I think we're gonna see a lot of it. Also the same thing goes for Kalimba Edwards. I am expecting big things from him.Offense- Charles Rogers. I am hoping hes still on the team by that point. I really wanna see them give him another chance. I was at most of the games last year, and it was PISSING ME OFF how much he was open and Joey wouldn't throw to him. They say he doesn't practice good/hard so they didn't run many plays for him, and he didn't even dress a few games. Hopefully with the new attitude around the team, he buys into it, does what hes suppose to do and goes for 1000 yards recieving like I know he can.
