Change of Scenery: NFL Players Who Are Poised for Breakout Roles with New Teams

The NFL's annual offseason shuffling has a way of giving certain players the breath of fresh air they needed on a new team with new surroundings.

Sometimes young players who were already starting to blossom are pushed along quicker in an offense or defense better suited for them. That will likely be the case for Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Kendall Fuller, who was beginning to shine with the Washington Redskins and should now reach new heights in a larger role.

Other times, the free-agent breakout candidate's development stagnated with a former team. Tight end Eric Ebron, who was released by the Detroit Lions shortly before he was due to hit free agency, will now get a chance to finally fulfill his first-round potential while playing for the Indianapolis Colts.
