I'm working on writing a peice on breakout players for this upcoming season... I'd love to know who you guys picks are for breakout players on offense and on defense. If you have a good defense of your pick you may be included in the write up.
Aeris Williams 1,000+ yds 10+ TDs
Keith Mixon-offense. I know we are going to see alot from our TEs but I think Mixon will have a big role. He is explosive, elusive and has good hands
We better hope the breakout offensive player is a WR.
Offense - Keith Mixon & Darryl Williams
Defense - Marquiss Spencer & Cory Thomas
Lotta hype behind Sweat on defense.
Just have a feeling Jordan Thomas is going to be a big redzone threat. I think Bryant gets his head back on straight and has a good year.
Jamal Couch, WR.....The only true freshman to play last year. He played in 11 games including all SEC games. He's big (6-4,230), fast and athletic. With a lack of experience returning for MSU, Couch will get the opportunity to have a break out year.
Reggie Todd, WR - Big WR with great athleticism that just needs experience. He will make a circus catch in the CharSou game and his hype will grow from there.
Dontavian Lee - Everyone forgets what a beast he was a few years ago. If he comes back Healthy he could look like Boobie 2.0.
The whole dang defense. Grantham will have them fired up and ready to get the bad taste out of their mouth. Simmons, Sweat, SA39, Brandon Bryant, Cam Dantzler and Jamal Peters.
Hope Gabe Myles shows out. He really got up field quickly a couple of years ago.
Donald Gray-He is a hard working kid with great hands. His teammates love him and him and fitz have a year under their belts of getting comfortable with each other. 800+ yards 11 TDs.
Jamaal Peters- It will be his second year at Corner and his confidence level will be through the roof, especially after that pick in the Egg Bowl. With his size and speed, he should be able to cover any receiver when he learns to play the position.
Thought say because some people I don't consider a breakout but just what is expected. Breakout players to me are players who are way under the radar. A. Williams & J. Simmons I think will have big years but I don't consider them really breakout.
So I will go with F. Adams on defense & Mixon on Offense.
I do hear a lot of Sweat, so that might be the winner.
Good info so far. Keep it up guys. bulldogsmsu, u have certainly earned a shoutout. You took the words right outta my mouth in your first paragraph
Offense- Farrod Green- plays hard, made many huge blocks in 2016 which should give him PT and targets. Should see the field better and be a more physical pass catcher with another year of experience.
Gabe Myles- has underperformed in a game of inches entire career. Makes a big senior splash.
Defense- Tim Washington- has the size and ability to be bone crushing run stopper.
C. Thomas- steps up big as a role player, eats blocks, makes LBs job easy
J. Peters, not even considered a starter at this point. But, the man is a athlete, with a little coaching from T-Buck, he'll have at least 4 picks and a All SEC on one of the teams. Write it down, bookmark it, I call it.
By the way Preach, are you getting paid for this article and do you plan to cut all us sub-contractors in?*****
Looking forward to your article and please post us a link so we don't miss it.
The 2 biggest and baddest
Jeff Simmons and Jordan Thomas. Both freaks. Simmons will be the best player on defense. Thomas will be Bear 2.
On offense, I'm gonna go with Deion calhoun. Jenkins and rankin are the top two linemen coming into the year, but I think Calhoun has a big year as that road grader guard.
On defense, I think Gerri green finally lives up to his hype. His size fits what grantham likes in his outside backers to a T. I think him and sweat are really going to make our D go.
