Last year @TheRazorsEdge started this thread and I'm curious to see what others think as well.
Obviously, aside from Mac, it will be interesting to see who it is that has either a breakout year or just ends up surprising people.
Picking a couple of lower profile guys - or less obvious ones - on both sides of the ball, mine would be:
OFFENSE:
1) Pierre Strong Jr. - He's so explosive in space (he had that 44yd run against the Cardinals in Week 14), curious to see if he emerges.
2) Pop Douglas - He's a shifty guy that I think might be the surprise name at the bottom of the depth chart.
DEFENSE:
1) Jalen Mills - Feels like he's poised for a big year with McCourty gone and he's better than some give him credit for.
2) Keion White - Love this kid's attitude
3) Sam Roberts - Liked him last year, definitely wondering if he'll take a step forward this season.
Hoping Tyquan Thornton obviously emerges (along with Gesicki, etc), and that Christian Gonzalez has a solid rookie campaign, but those are sort of obvious ones.
Otherwise, definitely interested to hear what other people are thinking.
