Man there really are a lot of guys that could step up to another level. I know it's just as likely some people take a step back. But if any of the rookies perform well, or FAU, or Connor, Williams, Watson, Nazeeh Johnson, Cook, Morris etc...there's just a scary number of ways this team can be even better than last year [Reply]
Hopefully whoever is playing at LT. If Mahomes doesn't have much time in the pocket because of pressure, those blazer new WR's we have, are going to be a waste. [Reply]
I'd say Chenal already broke out and Cook was on the verge of breaking out, but had that god awful injury. I'm hoping Cook can come back and continue his ascension, but it wouldn't surprise me if that energy saps some of his potential.
I'm thinking our breakout player for defense will be Nazeeh Johnson and FAU and for offense it'll be Morris.
Johnson is gonna become our #2 CB and will be the 3rd best CB we've had in awhile just behind McDuffie and Sneed. FAU will get at least 10 sacks and our DL will be the best pass rushing DL in the league. We will have the best D in the league.
I expect Morris to be basically Eric Fisher. Our O will put up points at will and Patrick is gonna be SB MVP and regular season MVP. [Reply]

I think my breakout player might be Cook but people won't notice
Agreed. Chenal broke out last season. I'll go with Jaden Hicks, since everyone already knows I love Nazeeh. [Reply]
I know it wouldn't be described as a "breakout" but would not be surprised whatsoever if Karlaftis becomes a household name. Right below the likes of Garrett, Watt, Bosa, Parsons, etc...The guy is still only 23 years old. If our offense returns to form we will be playing with the lead a lot this year. [Reply]

I think Chenal was on the cusp last year as he really improved in the last half. [Reply]
Offense - Hollywood Brown: One year contract, best QB and HC in the league, on the field with the best TE in league history and some solid youg receivers. This is going to get out of hand pretty quick.
Defense -George Karlaftis: Entering his 3rd year after steady progression and a nice late season run last year. Has been overshadowed by Chris Jones. This season George comes into his own. Jones will be the super star that OCs scheme for, George will make those plans change at half-time as he becomes a household name.
Special Teams - Louis Rees-Zammit & Justin Reid: While the rest of the NFL spends the first half of the season trying to figure out where to line up for kickoffs, the Chiefs have two players that seem tailor made for the new rules. Justin Reid can kick and be an effective down field tackler. Expect him to have the best tackling numbers of any kicker in the league. Rees-Zammit is ridiculously fast for his size and has experience in what will effectivly be a rugby play on kickoffs. [Reply]

Also seems like he'll get 3rd down duties this season without McKinnon. [Reply]
