Last year in training camp, it was Andrew Norwell. Norwell showed early flashes, like below man handling Kony Ealy in one on one drills.

Most of the media saw it as Ealy coming along too slowly. Turns out it was just Norwell being.. well,.. Norwell.

Who is your pick for surprise player of 2015? A guy not predicted to make the team but steps in and makes a major contribution.

if byrd turns out to be a punt or kick returning phenom it could really shake things up at several roster positions.

I am really trying to temper my enthusiasm over that kid until the pads are on and he takes a hit. Huge potential there, just worry a bit about his frame at this level.

I'll go with Kurt Coleman. He's expected to make the roster, but many have already penciled in Harper as the starter. Also I think Big Frank will have a breakout year and help us forget Hardy, but I don't think that would be a huge surprise to many. We all know he has the talent, just has to stay on the field.

I say Funchess. I know he is a second round guy so maybe doesn't count as "surprise", but from a national perception point of view it seems a lot of people thought he would be a slow tight end with bad hands. If he can have a season similar to Kelvin's rookie season then I'd say that would be a pleasant surprise.

I really, really think people are going to enjoy Artis-Payne. Maybe not right off of the bat, but I could see him breaking out in December..

 

With that being said though I really like Fozzy too. So it's tough for me to pick between the two for the backup spot

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      Film Room Playlist _ NFL Pro — Mozilla Firefox 2024-11-25 10-20-11.mp4 🎯🎯🎯 There were a couple of "fans" yesterday saying that this wasn't a helmet-to-helmet shot... 👀 Looks like based on where Moore was and where the play ended, he'd have gotten maybe just a yard or two more. Chuba was downed at the KC 16 and Moore was on his way back to the QB, so the offense got what they could for the most part. After reviewing the all-22, Bryce made the right call here. Tremble was the hot and KC sent both LBs. He gets it out with a clear pocket but it's quickly collapsing. If there was a little more time it looked like AT came free at the end but whether or not Bryce would've been upright still is another story. Smart move to get the completion and keep the field goal in play to stay alive. George Karlaftis is about to get himself a big ole hug and Bryce heaves it to where David Moore is going. Trent McDuffie slipped just a step or two before this shot, but we can see the clear DPI here as he's wrapped around David Moore before knocking him over as the ball gets there.

      I’m taking a TE early day 3 Ian Thomas and Tremble are FA.  We should have no desire to bring them back.   There’s more than enough film of ball bouncing off their hands or facemask.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      Daniel Jones sometimes would sling it for 300 or 400 yards.  That's my stance.  We know what Bryce is.  If you consistently play any QB at this level, they largely are going to end up w/ some good days/games.  last time Mahomes was at BOA, Teddy Bridgwater threw for 300+ yards and a couple TDs and the Matt Rhule Panthers almost took him down.  We know what Bryce is.  Now we got people predictably falling into a predictable trap.
