Chiefs Choose your Chiefs 2nd year breakout player - Page 4

It’s about to be June aka the worst year for football of the year, so let’s try to get things going with some good conversation.

We usually do this but this year it’s really interesting bc of the 2nd year candidates and amount of rookies we drafted.

Let’s see who ya got fellas (poll incoming)

Toney’s 2nd year would have been the 2022 season, unless you’re not counting his rookie year with the Giants, I took him out of consideration. Anyway, I voted for Skyy, he actually had a pretty good year with limited targets and it’s only going to get better for him in my opinion.

Furious George

My money would be on one of the corners, probably J Wat or Josh Williams.

Or someone else due to injury. That would most likely be Pacheco or Toney.

Per RGR Karlaftis had a conversion rate (pressures to sacks) of .2 in weeks 1-10 and that skyrocketed to 28% after week 10.

He really started to figure the game out as the year went on and I love that he’s working with Tamba on his technique. Omenihu and Felix will also help him a lot.

I think he gets 10 sacks this year

My thoughts as well. although I could see ALL these guys breaking out because they're all awesome.

Pacheco wouldn't really be a breakout player IMHO. He's already broke out. Above and beyond expectations. Dude is a baller. I seriously think we have Priest Holmes part deux in that man.

Skyy.

I feel like McDuffie already had a break out season. He is a lock down corner an he's just going to improve. This defense is going be scary good.

I think Skyy is going need to make the most out of opportunities or he will be criticized like Hardman. I can see Rice taking the #2 wr by mid season.

All of them and that’s not unreasonable to expect.

I went with Furious George. He finished the season strong. That trends towards a breakout season. But, it was such a great draft I could see several breakout players.

Skyy has no limit.

(He does, but I think he's a 1000 yard guy)

Feeling good about this guy.

It is not a coincidence that the Chiefs moved on from Frank Clark after Karlaftis' strong rookie season. The high-motor edge defender tallied six regular-season sacks and added another in the AFC Championship game while honing his craft as a first-year player. As Karlaftis settles into his role as the designated pass rusher beside All-Pro DT Chris Jones, we could see his sack production surge with regular one-on-one opportunities on the edge.

Holy shit! Look at you being all positive and shit!

I'm not sold that Toney stays healthy for a full season. I think it's ok, though, because I fully expect Skyy to kick ass.

Skyy.

Pacheco is faster than Holmes ever dreamed of being.

Some believe Pacheco has already broke out but I see him just on the cusp of greatness and when he makes several "take it to the house 40-60 td yd runs" like JC did(and I believe that he will) then he will in my mind have officially broke out.:-)
