Hoping Dax is an anomoly but I do wonder how effective he will be.
That is fair concern based on history.

We've heard the coaches talk him up a little this pre-season and I think he'll get more chances/rotations (though some of that depends on where things are with Trey when the season starts). He's 25 so he's entering his physical prime. I could see him being focused working his tail off to make the most of every snap he gets. His career and millions are on the line.
Money is the great motivator + he did show signs in 2024 of getting much better on a bad defense.

Could also see CTB make a comeback

I am going Jackson at DT. he had a limited preseason when he got hurt went on IR, so limited in prep time and i felt as season was ending, he was playing better as a whole, i think will take a big step this year

Can a rookie be a breakout player?
I guess it depends on the rookie. You could say Shemar Stewart had a breakout season if he gets 10 sacks. I picked Tahj Brooks a 6th rounder so if he gets 500 to 600 rushing yards I would consider that a breakout as a rookie.

I would say no from the thread post, who makes a big step forward as a player, a rookie has yet to step so only players on our team last year which we have data and performance already fit this thread.

bfine; please don't ask a complicated, nuclear physics, paradoxical question. Might as well ask the tree falling in the forest koan.
This could start an entire new thread of illogical logic discussions with occasional exchanges of insults - ultimately leading to Frankie Booth getting suspended.
I hope you are happy with yourself, Sir!

Slaton really wouldn't be a "breakout" player though given he's proven himself with GB already, no?
Maybe I falsely assumed it was a player who was not proven much ever before aside from a very brief stint of ~5 games or less.

I was just reading an article earlier that has him listed as a potential breakout player. Citing his return abilities on STs and for the reasons you have listed.

I am going to go with Jordan Shipley... I mean Charlie Jones. I read that he has been working with the wide receiver coach that got Yoshi and Brown together. And that he is heading back to ATL with them to work with him these next 5 weeks. Also read that he was Burrows top target thus far in ota's/minicamp.

I am going to exclude the rooks from consideration. Leaps for me means 1 year in the league or more.
D has a lot of legit candidates: Dax Hill, Turner, Ossai, Jackson, and Jenkins all seem realistic. Even Murphy, Newton, Battle, and Johnson seem possible.
I am gonna go with Hill, even though he is coming off injury.
On O the list is shorter. Mims, Yoshi, Burton. C. Brown has already leveled up in my book, though he could do it again.
I hope it is Mims. But I am gonna go with Yoshi.
