And since it is pretty dry, topic-wise, I thought about starting a topic sure to bring lots of debate, or let's hope....healthy discussion.
The new LBs: Bynes, Wilson, ADG, Bailey, or maybe the wildcard FA: Josh Kniphel, from Iowa State.
Who are you most excited to watch in 2020 and why?
My immediate response is Wilson, as I see him as a "do it all, with a nose for the ball"-type, but I really am intrigued by Markus Bailey. The guy was a lethal LB when he was healthy. Great instincts, speed, tackling, and toughness. I realize that two ACL surgeries would scare the most optimistic of fans away. I just remember seeing the guy all over the damn field against Ohio State his junior year. Seems to be at this best in big games. He also was a Campbell Finalist, for the top scholar athlete of the NCAA.
Here is a short article about him that has some nice film breakdown:

I think Bailey will have a huge chip on his shoulder to show he belongs and is a much bigger talent than a 7th round selection.
Who is yours?
I'll let everyone know who is exciting when I see any of them making worthwhile tackles instead of just standing there letting the offense run right by them or can cover anything in pass coverage!
