Who is your breakout player for this season?

[RunKC]

In the spirit of football being a month away (with early projected camp dates), now seems like a good time to talk football with everything else going on.

So who is your guy to break out for our Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs?

If the offense is firing on all cylinders like 2018...

I just don't think he'll really have a statistical breakout season with the offense as constructed in that there's just so many mouths to feed.

Being productive is one thing, being a "breakout" player is another. Unless Watkins inevitably gets hurt though.

He’s a legit 1st rd talent with measurables/athleticism. He put up 5 sacks in a good defense last year while playing part time. Based on what this staff did with Ogbah last year, I could see this guy putting up 7 or 8 sacks

I hope both of these guys, if it happens this defense would be improved over last year

Juan Thornhill is definitly a good candidate too if he is healed from his injury.

Hardman would be my pick on offense. Not sure if a rookie like CEH fits the definition of a breakout player.

Thornhill on defense. Same comment for Willie Gay.

Rookies will be really behind the 8 ball this year with no offseason stuff. I doubt we get much from them.

Thornhill. I think he’s gonna be a stud.

It's crazy to think about really....so many options for a team coming off a Super Bowl win

-CEH
-Hardman
-Gay
-Nnadi
-Saunders
-Thornhill
-Ward
-Charlton

And that's off the top of my head....

I'm on the Mecole Hardman train too.

His workout videos show so much effort in route training. He's put on a lot of muscle too.

Honestly the best option would be if it was Gay.

That would help the Chiefs so much.

If you look at the pro bowl roster for the interior defensive line last year, it was ...

Chris Jones (age 25)
Cam Heyward (age 31)
Jurrell Casey (age 30)
Geno Atkins (age 32)

I think it's clear that Casey is descending since the Titans let him walk, and Atkins is going to drop off at some point. Who's the competition for Nnadi to get a pro bowl next year? I think he played great last year.

If we are going off of who was already on the team: Hardman.

If we are talking bout rookies: CEH

Just cut Speaks fatass now.

Sammy Watkins is due for a completely injury-free season.

I think he puts up monster numbers this year hoping to stay a Chief.

These two plus Thornhill are my top three candidates for actually having breakout seasons. Gay having a breakout season is less likely, simply because he's more of a question mark and there's a learning curve to spags system. However I think Gay would have the most impact on the team due to how bad our LB's are.
