Ideally Jordan Love becomes the third Hall of Fame quarterback in a row for the Packers!

Jaelan Phillips. He's now in his third season, but his first with Vic Fangio. I'm excited for at least a 10 sack season.

Kyle Dugger has already been pretty good, and has earned some reputation as a very good box safety, but I think this year he's going to really take off. We're a stupid number of bodies deep at hybrid safety now, and all but Mapu (who has reportedly been picking up a lot and looking really natural in the LB role, at least) have good experience in the defense now. While losing McCourty hurts (though his decline was also a concern before officially returning), it means that we can play a lot more games in the middle of the field. You don't know whether Dugger or Peppers is going to drop out, and you have enough options that you don't have to saddle Dugger with manning up on the tight end with regularity. You can let him run wild and play instinctually and make it really annoying to attack the middle of the field.

I’m going for Skyy Moore. The Andy Reid offense is notoriously difficult for receivers to learn; the year two bump is a real possibility.

Not so much expect but I’m still hopeful trey lance can get a shot. I love purdy too, but lance never got to play with CMC and I’d love to see what that looks like

The Chiefs are really hoping that Skyy Moore can be a legitimate WR threat rather than a gadget guy we used him as last season. 2nd year WRs can often take that jump, and the (in)famously complex Reid offense is apparently tough to learn as a rookie, so there's a decent possibility that Skyy can make that jump.

A second round RB from last year isn't like a hidden gem but I expect James Cook will be the clear RB1 over Harris on the Bills, with a ton more snaps and production. He looked great in spurts last year, McD is always limiting rookies, and Singletary is secretly pretty good and he's gone. I think Cook will be a top 10 RB by total yardage if he stays healthy the whole year.

As probably one of the only Titans fans ever in existence, I'm gonna say Chig Okonkwo. We have an abysmally bad receiver core, and if he doesn't take multiple steps up, the season is likely dead in the water before the 1st snap.

This is ignoring the other glaring OL issue we had, Skoronski is gonna have to come in at an above average level for us to even be able to pass the ball...

I'm a pats fan, so I really hope it's Mac Jones. I got him on two dynasty teams also.

Hoping Lewis Cine steps up for the Vikes' secondary this year after being out pretty much all last year. We might just have a semi-effective defensive scheme with Flores at the helm, but it's just as much about execution as it is about coaching, and Cine is pretty much all we've got out there in the secondary. Our 2nd year GM spent the whole offseason cleaning up the cap hell Spielman left for him and freeing up money to pay JJ, so we lost a lot of talent. The guys who are left are all gonna have to step up, but especially the defense.

Also Ravens fan, and I also agree. However, I feel like every year we hear some story about a guy that looks great in camp, and he either gets injured within the first 1/3 of the season, or he ends up under-performing. I'd like for it to be Ojabo, but I won't hold my breath just based on history. I'd still like to see Bateman end up being WR1.

Would love to see JF1 make a huge leap this year!

Rachaad White on the Bucs. Oline is in better shape, and leftwich won't be calling 734 passes a game.

Alec Pierce. Matt Ryan had a noodle arm and couldn't utilize his skillset. Expecting a ton of Richardson to Pierce bombs this year

As a Pats fan, Mac

So much is riding on Desmond Ridder that I really hope he's the answer, or at least a good enough answer.

Outside of him, I feel like the Falcons' front office has done a good job of properly hedging bets.

Lions fan. I'm really hoping Aiden Hutchinson builds on his production from last year. He had a great rookie season, hoping he can be in the top tier of pass rushes in the league next season and continue to develop

As a Giants fan, I’m hoping for Evan Neal to make a big jump.

This is tough, I dont know if it will happen or not but for the jets I think I have to say Becton. If he's healthy and pops off our oline is going to be way better than people expect. If he doesn't... Well hopefully we don't end up on our 5th and 6th tackles again this year

For the Steelers I'd say Najee Harris.

Year 3- he needs to perform to start talking about contract extensions and getting real money next off-season. He's currently healthy (hopefully he stays that way as he got injured in campast year).

Most importantly, offensive line. The Steelers had the worst overall offensive line in the league his rookie year, near the bottom of the league in BOTH Pass Block and Run Block Win Rates. Last year they improved to roughly average. This year, they added Suemalo and a lot of their young guys are developing and getting familiar. Either Broderick Jones will start at LT or Moore will have improved enough to keep his job (at least to start the season).

Also decisions like bringing back Gentry, drafting Darnell Washington, and keeping Conner Heyward seems to indicate they are moving towards heavier packages on offense. Replacing Claypool with Allen Robinson is hopefully going to lead to better blocking at the point of attack. I think they really want to be a run-first team and try to take the pressure off of Pickett.

You can make arguments for almost the whole team. The whole offense is really young, mostly still on rookie deals outside of the offensive line and a couple of WR's.

Josh Allen. I think he can be even better.

Ojabo being the answer on the edge would be huge. I’d also love to see last year’s corner draft picks make the jump as well. Marlon needs some help!
