Breakout Candidates: AFC West

Finally, it’s the AFC West’s turn. Here are some breakout candidates from the teams in that division. Some say that this is going to be an exciting division. 

Kansas City Chiefs
JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR

With the departure of Tyreek Hill, the Kansas City Chiefs have had something of a makeover at the receiver position. I really like the addition of rookie Skyy Moore. I’m going with the veteran addition. JuJu Smith-Schuster. A few years ago, Smith-Schuster was a rising receiver in the league. He was terrific playing opposite Antonio Brown. Things changed. Brown lost his mind and left town and Ben Roethlisberger got a lot older. JuJu is still JuJu. Now, he has Patrick Mahomes. It’s easy to imagine Smith-Schuster breaking out for the Chiefs.

Los Angeles Chargers
Rashawn Slater, OT

Rashawn Slater had an excellent rookie season. Can he emerge as one of the league’s better left tackles in his second season? I think so.

Denver Broncos
Patrick Surtain II, CB

Like Rashawn Slater, Patrick Surtain II had an outstanding rookie season. Like Slater, I think that Surtain emerges as one of the league’s best at his position in his second season.

Las Vegas Raiders
Trevon Moehrig, S

The Raiders have an interesting safety duo with Trevon Moehrig and Johnathan Abram. I think that they have the talent to break out together. I’ll go with Moehrig in this exercise. I really liked him in the 2021 NFL Draft.
