Breakout Candidates: AFC North

It’s the AFC’s turn. How are some breakout candidates for the teams of the AFC North. 

Baltimore Ravens
Rashod Bateman, WR

With the departure of Marquise Brown, Rashod Bateman is the best receiver on a team that needs production from their receivers. Personally, I think that Bateman would’ve been the best receiver on the Ravens even if Brown hadn’t departed. 

Cincinnati Bengals
Sam Hubbard, DE

In his first season with the team, Trey Hendrickson made a big impact on the Bengals defense last year. With the attention paid to Hendrickson on one side of the line, it’s easy to imagine the productive Sam Hubbard giving offenses problems on the other side of the line.

Pittsburgh Steelers
James Daniels, G

The Steelers had to improve their offensive line. James Daniels was probably the most significant addition. When on the field, he was a very promising, productive offensive lineman for the Chicago Bears. He was so promising and productive that I was very surprised when the Bears let him get out of their building.

Cleveland Browns
Jeremiah Owuso-Koramoah, LB

The Browns found a steal in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. I still don’t get how Jeremiah Owuso-Koramoah made it out of the first round. I know there were injury concerns. The Browns benefited from those concerns. If Owuso-Koramoah can stay on the field, I think that he’ll emerge as one of the most productive, most versatile, and most fun defensive players in the league.
