Who is going to break out that no one is talking about?

The guy that I could see not only getting the opportunity, but having a pretty solid season is CJ Uzomah.  

He was not used as a traditional TE in the wacky Auburn offense, but his athleticism gave the Bengals interest in the fifth round.  He has flashed a very little bit in very limited action, but I think with Eifert being eased in to the season and Kroft already proving himself last year that CJ might be a guy that is a solid contributor this season.  In year three, he should have more of the nuances figured out and you can't deny his size, strength, and speed.  

Here is to hoping he surprises and is a solid contributor.  

Who do you have?

There are many Bengals who need to break out if this team is going to go play-offs and make a Super Bowl run.  I look at all the 1st and 2nd round picks that haven't did jack shot yet.  If the top picks in secondary of Kirkpatrick, Dennard, WG3 all become Pro Bowl types. If Ross breaks out. If Mixon breaks out. If Gio bounces back from injuries and breaks out.  If Ogbuehi and Fisher break out.  

I consider later round picks as nice surprises. It's the top draft picks we took when many other good players on the board that need to break out because Dalton, AJ Green, Atkins, Dunlap could use some help. 


If Top picks Dennard, WG3, Ogbuehi, Fisher, Ross, Mixon, all turn out to be worth the top picks, the Bengals would be a great team indeed. Especially if top picks Bernard and Eifert return from injuries and contribute. 

So I'm hoping Super Bowl, so I'm hoping many Bengals Break Out that nobody is talking about.  If Ogbuehi becomes Pro Bowl at Right Tackle, certainly nobody is talking about that, yet he was another player Bengals drafted injured knowing he would be injured first year and then like a 2nd year rookie.  Last year WG3 to me finally off injured list was a rookie. To me Ross injured all first year is still a rookie. If they all Break Out, it's WHO DEY Time. 

Go Bengals
