NFC Breakout Players

The middle of the preseason schedule is a fine time to pick a breakout player for the 2019 NFL season from each team. The NFC is up first.

Minnesota Vikings
Dalvin Cook, RB
-Cook just has to stay on the field.

Chicago Bears
David Montgomery, RB
-Jordan Howard didn't really fit Matt Nagy's offense. Montgomery does.

Detroit Lions
Jarrad Davis, LB
-Davis is the leader of a Lions defense that has to improve.

Green Bay Packers
Jaire Alexander, CB
-According to Alexander he broke out the moment he was drafted.

Dallas Cowboys
Tony Pollard, RB
-If Ezekiel Elliott pulls a Le'Veon Bell, Pollard will have no choice but to break out.

New York Giants
Lorenzo Carter, LB
-Carter probably gets the nod simply because he became a favorite of mine leading up to the 2018 NFL Draft.

Philadelphia Eagles
Miles Sanders, RB
-If their Super Bowl run is any indication the Eagles offense is at it's best with a capable stable of running backs. As as rookie, Sanders might already be the best back on the team.

Washington Redskins
Terry McLaurin, WR
-The Redskins have to get the ball in the hands of McLaurin.

Atlanta Falcons
Calvin Ridley, WR
-Playing opposite Julio Jones helps but Ridley is a terrific receiver on his own.

Carolina Panthers
Brian Burns, DE
-The Panthers could use a speedy pass rusher off the edge. Burns happens to be one.

New Orleans Saints
Jared Cook, TE
-Picking Cook doesn't feel right seeing as he's been one of the better tight ends in the league for a while. Cook in this offense has the possibility of a different sort of season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Devin White, LB
-White immediately steps into the spot vacated by Kwon Alexander.

Arizona Cardinals
Christian Kirk, WR
-Kirk should shine in Kliff Kingsbury's offense.

Los Angeles Rams
Taylor Rapp, S
-This one might be a reach. I think that Rapp is going to force the Rams to start him and he's going to be around the ball for the rest of his career.

San Francisco 49ers
Jalen Hurd, WR
-I'm going with the rookie receiver that reminds me of a big Percy Harvin.

Seattle Seahawks
Tyler Lockett, WR
-Some might say that Lockett has already broken out. I think that he's just getting started.
