Those are two excellent choices. I hope Smiff takes it to the next level. I've been waiting for him to have his coming out party. Hopefully it's this year.

Roberts is a another kid who has had an excellent camp and is coming into his own with the new staff. Can't wait to see him this year.

Chaney showing out in the second half of this season would make us that much better. I'm rooting hard for Chaney. The kid just hasn't caught a single break.

I expect LT and JW to have breakout seasons. In reading this thread it has really become quite clear just how many talented players are on the verge of breaking out. I think this could be very significant in terms of overall improvement from last year to this year. If we go through the entire 2 deep and then some we will see a lot of players who fit that description. With the elite staff we now have it may be very likely that most of those players do in fact have that breakout year and should that really happen then we may be witness to something very special.

Surprise by definition would be the unexpected emergence of a player. For example, I wouldn't be 'surprised' if Chris Graves, given the opportunity, balled out. Maybe a bit ahead of schedule, but wouldn't be a surprise. So in that vein my 'surprise' choices:

D: DJ Ivey - another staff, and now even some pro scouts observing practices are wrong? In year five w/solid coaching it all comes together and the natural talent emerges, minus the bonehead miscues. Only wish someone hadn't beaten me to this choice. Kid even gets drafted (mid to low).

O: Thad Franklin - say hello to our short yardage back, and late game finisher. Mario wants to run the ball and I'm not convinced and old school big back fits the traditional bruiser role - thus a 'surprise'.

Pro scouts are wrong and a lot lmao football coaches in their essence are arrogant as ****. I get why people see DJ ivey and think there’s something. He’s built in a cb lab. The thing is.. when he starts to play.. like really play they’ll change their mind

Offense - Redding. May not evolve into a superstar, but he becomes one of our most reliable and consistent options

Defense - Caleb Johnson. Our best LB since Shaq
