Coming back from injury
Billings, Hardison, WJIII
Need to prove themselves, take the next step and shine.
Ogbuehi, Westermann, Fisher, Fejedelem, Vigil, Boyd, Core, Dawson, Russell
Feel free to mention any others
Personally I would love for CedO and Fisher to turn into studs
Getting Billings, Hardison, WJ3 back from injury is huge, will they be studs who knows, but you have to think that Billings and Hardison will be upgrades over Peko, Gilberry, MJ, and Hunt and WJ3 hopefully will display his athleticism and allow us to cut Jones.
I look to see Ced and Fisher make big improvements along the line. I think Westerman competes with Smith for the starting RG position and even if he loses out I expect to see him get snaps this year. Hopefully we see more of Vigil and Dawson at LB. The cb depth is solid and will this be the year that Dennard stays healthy, he's had glimpses of good play, but injuries and inconsistencies have hurt him and Russell and Bene along with Shaw could really push Dennard for snaps.
Both Boyd and Core displayed composure for being rookies in a new system on an offense that struggled, I expect both to improve and contribute more this upcoming season.
Fejedelem is my candidate for ST player of the year for us, plus he provides some nice depth as a run stopping S.
I'm going to add in a potential injury break out candidate and that's Uzo at TE, if for some reason Eifert misses time again expect to see Uzo get starter snaps over Kroft due to potential and athleticism.
