In this video, we're identifying a bunch of wide receivers who have the potential to break

0:03.6

out this year, or maybe they don't.

0:05.4

And I will start by saying we're not going to talk about the obvious guys like Garrett

0:08.4

Wilson, Chris Alave, Drake London, the second, third year players who are already being

0:12.5

taken in the second round of drafts.

0:14.0

It's being assumed that they'll break out.

0:15.6

Their draft position right now is already taking that into account. Instead, let's look at some other players who might be values and decide are they going to be breakouts or not. Starting with the Seattle Seahawks second year

0:24.3

receiver, Jackson sent the Jigba, who is taken in the first round by this team just a year ago?

0:28.6

Is he going to break out? Well, his rookie season wasn't the best, but it also wasn't all his

0:32.4

fault. The receiver who goes by the name JSN right here, the acronym. You can see in 2023 August, in the preseason,

0:39.2

he ends up injuring his hand. He fractured his hand. He missed the rest of camp. Now, he does end up

0:43.5

getting out there week one. Speaks to his toughness, his young age to recover, but that hurts a

0:47.8

rookie when he's going to miss the final couple weeks of the preseason and getting reps with his offense. Now, if you're not familiar with JSN, he went to Ohio State, and in 2021 right here, his last fully healthy season, what does he do? He has over 1,600 yards,

0:58.6

and let me point this out. He was playing with Chris Salabbe and Garrett Wilson, guys who have gone on

1:02.5

to have solid NFL career so far. For instance, they're both going to be taken in the second

1:06.2

round of fantasy drafts this year. This guy was the best receiver on his team during that time in terms of production. Which is why the Seahawks then went on to take him with their first round pick

1:13.5

last year in the NFL draft, and he was also the first receiver taken off the board with the 20th

1:17.2

overall pick. Now, the issue for JSN, and this is going to be continuing this year, is that he landed

1:21.1

on a team that had solid wide receivers. In veteran wide receivers in that, and D.K. Maccalf, one of the most dominating physical presences and athletic presence and the combination in the NFL.

1:30.5

And then Tyler Lockett, who, yeah, he's getting up there in age, but still has been consistent

1:33.8

year in and year out.

1:34.7

So this wasn't great.
