Breakout Candidates: AFC East

It’s on to the AFC East. Here are some breakout candidates from the teams in that division.

Buffalo Bills
Kaiir Elam, CB

The Buffalo Bills have one of the most talented rosters in the league. Most of the players with the talent to break out already have broken out. Some in a big way. The Bills added a couple of players in the draft that could make an impact as rookies. Cornerback Kaiir Elam and running back James Cook. I’m going with Elam as the team’s breakout candidate. He’s long, smooth, and athletic. His path to starting is clear and he’ll be paired with Tre’Davious White on a very good defense. 

New England Patriots
DeVante Parker, WR

DeVante Parker should break out for his new team. The New England Patriots need him to break out. After repeatedly missing on receivers in the draft, the Patriots again turn to the trade to hopefully solve their problems at the receiver position.

Miami Dolphins
Tyreek Hill, WR

Another established receiver with a new team. The Dolphins spent fairly heavily to add Tyreek Hill to their offense. Hill and Jaylen Waddle will give the Dolphins a blazing receiving duo. 

New York Jets
Alijah Vera-Tucker, G

It’s good to have an offensive lineman as a breakout candidate. Alijah Vera-Tucker was very good as a rookie. He should emerge as one of the better guards in the league in his second season.
