having a good rookie season for us. I think Pratt could make a huge jump and be our breakout Defensive player this year
in his sophomore season. He is fast, can tackle, has good instincts is smart and can cover like a Safety.

Pratt is my pick for DBP this season. Who is yours?

Per our earlier discussion, with a better pass rush, run defense up the middle, and LB coverage, I could see Jesse Bates as a guy that is poised to use his rangy talents to intercept a few more balls this year.  Having been near the lead in tackles on the team last year is a bad sign for a defense (both safeties, actually).  Bates could be the breakout player we have needed in the back end that we really haven't seen since Reggie Nelson.

My vote is Jesse Bates.
