Every year, you get a handful of players who deliver on their promise and turn previously decent careers into great seasons. This is a list of several guys that I believe will drastically improve from their 2017 seasons and break out in the NFL this year.
Only one is a Falcons player, because the Falcons don’t have a ton of obvious breakout candidates outside of their rookies. I think you’ll agree with my choice, though.
This a guy who has worked with pass-rush magician Chuck Smith and shows some sparks of greatness. I am fully aware that his 2017 production wasn’t great, but believe me when I say this: Nkemdiche will produce double digit sacks this year.
