Projecting 2018 breakout players at EVERY position

(Chicago Tribune) (Sergio Estrada/USA TODAY Sports)

Every NFL season comes with breakout players all around the league. A new season is an exciting time where we will see players do unsuspectingly well. Last season, we saw quite a few rookie sensations that we didn’t expect (Kareem Hunt, Alvin Kamara), and we also saw some unlikely veterans (Case Keenum, Nelson Agholor, Demarcus Lawrence) make a bigger than expected impact. Here is our projection for the 2018 season’s breakout players at every position:

– Running Back
– Wide Receiver
– Tight End
– Offensive Line
– Defensive Line
– EDGE
– Linebacker
– Cornerback
– Safety

Quarterback

Mitch Trubisky, QB, Chicago Bears

Mitch Trubisky has every opportunity to succeed in 2018. The young signal-caller was drafted at #2 overall for a reason; he has sky-high potential. The Bears made some great additions on both sides of the ball, but on offense they added some real weapons to give Trubisky some help. With talent all-around him, Trubisky has a real good shot to make a huge leap in Year 2. The Sky is really the limit for him, and I think that Trubisky will have a very good 2018 campaign that will give Chicago a chance to make the playoffs.
