Offensive Skill- Fitz. I'm always partial to the running QB
Fatboy Offense- Jenkins. Has his job cut out for him learning a new position
Fatboy Defense- Hoyette. We lack depth at DT- need him to step up.
Backend D- Sweat. Absolute beast
Newcomer or Breakout for 2017- Willie Gay. The most impressive Freshman we have signed since Fletcher Cox

[PMDawg]

Offensive Skill- Fitz.
Fatboy Offense- Reese
Fatboy Defense- C. Thomas
Backend D- Peters. Has to be good for us to have a chance to win more than 6.
Newcomer or Breakout for 2017- Not a lot of people qualify. So I'll go with K Hill. (crossing fingers)

Steve Robertson

[DownwardDawg]

Leo Lewis

[JimmyMcNulty]

Houston Dale Nutt

[msstate7]

Pretty big praise for gay. Chris jones was pretty dang impressive as a freshman. Chris' actual freshman stats were way more impressive than Fletcher's. Regardless, very nice to hear than on gay. Gay and Leo (both ex-OM commits) will be fun the next 2 years

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Offensive Skill- A Train - With all eyes on Fitz Aeris rushes for 1100+ yards
Fatboy Offense- Rankin - Lives up to the preseason hype on his way to being a 1st Rd Draft Pick
Fatboy Defense- C. Thomas - Potential becomes production
Backend D- Abrams - Will bring back that Nickoe feeling
Newcomer or Breakout for 2017- Sweat - Need him to be that terror off the edge

[BrunswickDawg]

Offensive Skill- Fitz
Fatboy Offense- Williams
Fatboy Defense- Fletcher Adams - need solid depth behind Rivers
Backend D- Cleveland - if he can play with some maturity and not be the "Cleveland Steamer", we can have real depth at CB
Newcomer or Breakout for 2017- Tucker Day

[Johnson85]

Offense: I hope it turns out to be Reese. Really not looking forward to another season of ole' blocking from one position because we don't recruit OL.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Thomas A. Mars

[Brahmabull]

Defense - Montez Sweat till you bleed!!

[Shake 'n Bake]

My dawg: Leo Lewis forever
Fatboy offense: Elgton
Fatboy defense: Simmons
Back End D: Brandon Bryant puts it back together
Newcomer: Sweat, think he murders folks

[MzTerry]

I always do these based on emotion (who I enjoy, or think I will enjoy, watching the most).

Offensive Skill - Mixon
Fatboy Offense - Calhoun
Fatboy Defense - Simmons
Backend D - Abram
Newcomer or Breakout for 2017 - Willie Gay. Gotta put on for the greatest high school in the country, SHS.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Offensive Skill- A. Williams
Fatboy Offense- Jenkins.
Fatboy Defense- Rivers

Newcomer or Breakout for 2017- WGay

[Dawg61]

This is the year everyone finds out who Aeris Williams is. I am buying bulk in the A-Train

[Dallas_Dawg]

Offensive Skill- Aeris "A-Train" Williams. Point City
Fatboy Offense- Martinas Rankin - need him to dominate
Fatboy Defense- Jeffery Simmons - need him to dominate and eat blockers for lunch
Backend D- Brandon Bryant - I almost took McLaurin but I think BB has that breakout season everybody expected last year. Grantham ain't gonna put up with any loafing. I could have easily put Leo Lewis here as well.
Newcomer or Breakout for 2017- Montez Sweat - just keep hearing how bad ass he is.

[GTHOM]

O Skill- Nick Fitz
Bigboy O- Jenkins
Bigboy D- Simmons
Backend- Leo Lewis
Newcomer- Willie Gay

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

Offensive Skill- Gabe Myles. Won a state championship for Jamie Mitchell at Starkville High. Want to see the hometown kid bounce back in a time of need.
Fatboy Offense- Darryl Williams. Glad he's back after a scary neck injury. Highest rated OL behind Rankin & Reese.
Fatboy Defense- Lee Autry. Always pull for ICC kids & expect him to be Simmon's primary backup at NG. Could follow in his brother's footsteps to an NFL roster.
Backend D- Leo Lewis. Enough said. Could bolt for NFL with a big year & I wouldn't blame him.
Newcomer or Breakout for 2017- Reggie Todd. Expect some ups and downs early but biggest upside of the entire receiving corps.

I too expect Gabe Myles to rebound in a big way.

Offensive Skill- Fitz
Fatboy Offense- Jenkins
Fatboy Defense- Jeff Simmons
Backend D- McLaurin
Newcomer or Breakout for 2017- Keith Mixon as breakout, and Sweat as newcomer

[CadaverDawg]

I always consider it a great thing when there are a bunch of different names in this thread....we have the potential to surprise some folks if most of the guys in this thread play to their potential.

A little surprised not to see Donald Gray listed a single time. I think we're all going to look stupid after the season for that.

[JimmyMcNulty]

My Dawg : Fitz
FatO : Rankin
FatD : Simmons
Backend : Peters
Newcomer : Abrams
Breakout : Mixon

[Dawg Tired]

My Dawg - SA #39
Offensive Skill - A-Train
Fatboy Offense - Rankin
Fatboy Defense - J. Simmons
Backend - Abrams
Newcomer - Sweat
Breakout - Couch

[Schultzy]

My Dawg: Donald Gray; bigger backs (or no small ones) mean more in the box and more room to roam; plus he ran over 3 people in Oxford to score and start that whoopin

Skill: Fitz will have more open receivers with ppl loading the box this yr and bigger backs (or no tiny ones to trot out there)

O Fat: Darryl Williams - if he has a big year we actually have a good OL

D Fat: Marquiss Spencer- he was beating OT's as a true freshman on pass rush

Back end: Dantzler; been hearing how good he is for a year now and I miss having a lock down, we need one

Newbie: Willie Gay has the frame, speed and savvy to be good year one

Breakout: Nick Gibson and Dontavian Lee; I find myself rooting for these two to have success backing up Aeris and think there is a lot of potential here
