On Friday, Bleacher Report published a 32-team breakdown of each player that will rise to stardom for the first time in 2021. The analysis was peppered with expected names like Trevor Lawrence for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Kyle Pitts for the Atlanta Falcons, and Cam Akers for the Los Angeles.
For the Minnesota Vikings, this arguably could have broken a few ways. Cameron Dantzler, a second-year cornerback from Mississippi State, might have received the “honor” as the 22-year-old hopes to build on a 2020 rookie campaign that was tremendous. Among all rookies CBs, Dantzler ranked as the NFL’s best per Pro Football Focus.
