Breakout players??

[preachermatt83]

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.

[Dawg61]

Aeris Williams 1,000+ yds 10+ TDs

[Wet Dawg]

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

[smootness]

We better hope the breakout offensive player is a WR.

We better hope the breakout offensive player is a WR.

Donald Gray is going to be awesome. He is a kid with a lot of ability and an incredible work ethic. He is what you would call a gym rat with the juggs machine. He should be Fitz's favorite target IMO. I hope we use him like we did Ross last year and line him up in multiple positions on the field. I think Mixon will have a big year too. With the TE and RB options we have with Fitz, this should be a very efficient and explosive offense. If we have just an average defense this year, I think we go 8-4.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Offense - Keith Mixon & Darryl Williams
Defense - Marquiss Spencer & Cory Thomas

Offense - Keith Mixon & Darryl Williams
Defense - Marquiss Spencer & Cory Thomas

How about a little background on this? I take it that confirms our starting OL will be

Rankin, Calhoun, Jenkins, Williams, and then TBD at RT?

How solid is he going to be? Good enough that the only real question mark is at RT?

Hopefully Hodges will eliminate that TBD.

Lotta hype behind Sweat on defense.

Lotta hype behind Sweat on defense.

Bad ass..

[Tbonewannabe]

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.

[Doggie_Style]

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.

Agreed. I believe Couch is set for a big year.

Interesting nore: did we not have a player with the last name "Chair"? I would have loved to see Couch and Chair on the field.

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.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hope Gabe Myles shows out. He really got up field quickly a couple of years ago.

[BigEasyDawg]

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

Sweat on D
Jackson on offense

[SmokeyDawg]

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
