QB – Hendon Hooker (GB) Hooker was a top QB last season when he was filling in for Rodgers while he was away on business.. thru 5 games he was 3-1-1 with 7tds 8ints 800ish yards. those 3 wins consist of 2 NFC N rivals and he completed the comeback and sealed the Super Bowl hangover for the Bucs.
QB – CJ Stroud (SEA) Stroud was the 3rd QB off the board last draft but ended as the best rookie of the season. Stroud plays the NFC North and AFC East. Hes gonna have a tough road this year but luckily he plays his own division in the NFC West. He won QB2 for last years all pro team but i expect a improvement this season as a whole.
QB – Lamar Jackson (BAL) Jackson was so close to being a top QB in the All Pro rankings last season. he had a lateral season last year compared to 2 seasons ago but he passed a little more and ran a little less also resulting in 1 less win and a 2nd round bounce in South Beach. i expect Lamar to be hungrier this season. If we see season 1 Lamar with improvements, he WILL win the first team All Pro QB.
HB – Jonathon Taylor (ATL) Taylor is by far THE BEST running back in the league in Coach Greeny’s hands. It’s amazing what he can do with that young man. He opens up the season against a bottom 5 run defense and we expect 25 carries in week 1 to try and head start his campaign. he also plays within the NFC South another division, like CJ in the NFC West, that is weak and can allow him to get really good cheap yards.
HB – Zach Charbonnet (IND) Charbonnet is another great running back in the hands of a runner. The Colts did not lose a step when trading Taylor last season and going with Charb as HB1. He had a great rookie year and hes coming off the second All Pro team. I know he really wanted that first team spot and i expect him to go fight for it.
HB – Keaton Mitchell (NYJ) “WHO?!” you might be asking yourself.. this is New York’s newest toy. Mitchell is the second fastest running back in the league and Coach Fallen knows how to get these kind of guys involved. League should expect Mitchell to be a 1000 yard rusher and catcher and he may take the league by storm. The AFC East doesnt have the best defenses so expect some good games outta him.
WR – Kayshon Boutte (IND) Another Colt on this list by no surprise at all, and I think we will see 1 more guy later on. Boutte is another guy who came close to All Pro and i think this will go 1 of 2 ways. Hes either going to get better and earn it this year, or hes gonna lose a step with newly drafted Tight End Brock Bowers coming to town and sharing the spot light. Preseason has not been nice to him and im not sure if he just hasnt played or just being left out the offense. We find out tonight.
WR – Jamarr Chase (CIN) Mr. Chase was arguably THE BEST wide receiver in football last season. he wouldve won All Pro had he not dropped the ball 10 times. i expect a better season and alot less drops after Coach Cammy emphasized how upset he was with Chase for the drops. Jamarr is expected to be the best WR for the 3rd year in a row.
WR – DK Metcalf (SEA) Metcalf and Stroud are gonna help each other to All Pro First Team. I predict this duo to be the first QB-WR duo to make All Pro First Team, they won All Pro Second Team together (First duo ever). Metcalf is a freak and always finds himself available for CJ. While CJ improves this year, i think itll be because of DK.
TE – Chase Claypool (NYJ) The guy i name next will be the closest thing to Claypool but i dont see anyone taking this mans crown this year. Claypool, WR turned TE, was a freak in the streets this past season and you know when fallen finds something that works, no matter how cheesey, he sticks to it. hes gonna find a way to keep Chase alive while working in everyone else.
TE – Taysom Hill (NO) Hill came in close second last year to Claypool and was really the only other comp to him. He’s lost a step in speed but that wont stop Bryce Young from slinging that ball to him. With a much upgraded defense this year i expect more opportunities for the Saints to give him the ball more than last year.
TE – Darren Waller (LV) Waller is Vegas’ favorite target and very reliable. With a no QB in town i think itll just intensify due to being the security blanket to the rookie or the weak arm’d Jalen Hurts.
