Taco Charlton could be primed for a breakout season in 2021

Defensive end Taco Charlton has yet to leave much of a footprint with the Kansas City Chiefs — but 2021 could be a breakout year for the fifth-year NFL veteran from Michigan.

As 2017’s 28th overall pick for the Dallas Cowboys, injuries kept Charlton from getting playing time, so his career never got off the ground. He spent two seasons in Dallas before he was released and picked up by the Miami Dolphins.

Charlton recorded four sacks in his first five games with the Dolphins — but finished with only five for the season after more injury problems arose.
