It wasn't too long ago when we, as fans, understood it would take two full years for the vast majority of players to acclimate to intensified speed and power of the NFL. Now? Yeah, society isn't fond of waiting for anything, much le s players to slowly come into their own. However, that doesn't mean Year 3 breakouts don't happen. They do. And a Year 3 breakout typically leads to a nice, lucrative contract extension.These are the third-year pros primed to break out in 2023. CHI QB #1 CMP%60.4YDs2242TD17INT11YD/Att7.05 Yes, Fields went from in-over-his-head rookie to 1,000-yard rusher in Year 2, yet his pa sing numbers above clearly show there's ample room to grow throwing the football. That growth will occur in 2023, on a rebuilt offense as he begins the season making his 26th profe sional start.Fields had 13 "big-time throws" in 2022 and six of them came Anthony Gose Jersey in his final five contests, including three against the in which he completed 80% of his 25 attempts for 254 yards. Chicago spent the No. 9 overall pick on pa s-blocking masher from Tenne see -- my OT1 in the 2023 cla s -- after signing steady guard in free agency. YAC monster was added in the Bears' trade out of the top selection and rookie speedster will stretch defenses vertically to provide space for the quick pa sing game. Expect Fields' completion percentage to finish somewhere close to 65%. Now more comfortable with the speed of NFL defenses (his proce Robinson Chirinos Jersey sing clearly improved down the stretch in 2022) and a respectable receiving trio of Moore, and , Fields will move into the more normal range of pa sing yard and touchdown productivity. BUF DE #50 The Rou seau breakout has been mounting. As a 21-year-old rookie with only one year of collegiate football experience, Rou seau's pre sure-creation rate was a respectable albeit unspectacular 11.6% and he a serted himself as a rock-solid, edge-setting run defender. In Year 2? A more chiseled Rou seau managed an improved pre sure rate of 14.4%. He had at least two pre sures in all but one contest he appeared in during his sophomore season in the NFL. Rou seau's stack-and-shed capabilities were still apparent against the run, although he mi sed tackles at a higher rate than his rookie season. The recently turned 23-year-old defensive end now gets to learn from and play with and the similarly sized on Sean McDermott's defense, and he'll presumably be bigger and stronger than his first two NFL campaigns. Rou seau's an unconventional outside rusher at nearly 6-foot-7 and 270 pounds. He's decently flexible, has an enormous tackling/sack radius and his pa s-rush move arsenal has noticeably diversified in his first two NFL seasons. CAR OG #70 Christensen was a tackle at BYU and a very good one at that. He allowed a mere three pre sures on over 400 pa s- Jeff Bagwell Jersey blocking snaps in 2021 for the Cougars. Then he but settled in at guard in his second NFL season, which made sense because of his smaller size and reach.The move inside was a godsend for Christensen in Year 2. He only allowed 17 pre sures on 533 pa s-blocking opportunities compared to 25 pre sures surrendered on 321 pa s-block chances as a rookie. He's added bulk to his frame and at 6-foot-6 with 32-inch arms, he's plenty big enough to deal with interior rushers. Christensen will play next to center again -- their rapport should continue to gain strength. Plus, specializes in getting the football out quickly, and the have added the likes of and second-round pick , who, in their own ways, should be very capable options underneath. Because of his pa s-pro balance, refined hand work and bolstered strength, Christensen will step into the upper echelon of guards in Year 3, his age-26 season. WAS LB #52 This is the year Davis plays like the huge, uber-athletic second-level playmaker he was that made him a first-round pick in 2021. We saw improvement from Year 1 to Year 2, which is a helpful prerequisite to be on the breakout radar. Davis' tackling was noticeably more reliable from snap-to-snap than his rookie season and didn't appear to be as lost in coverage as often.The still have one of the game's most ferocious, talent-laden defensive fronts anchored by a quartet of former Round 1 picks. While that group mostly attacks upfield as opposed to eating blockers for Davis, now with over 1,400 snaps on his profe sional resume, the former Kentucky star's Marwin Gonzalez Jersey play-diagnosing skills have sharpened and he's now more equipped with his hands to defeat blockers en route to the ball. At just under 6-foot-4, 230-plus pounds with 33-inch arms and 4.48 speed, Davis has the goods to at least be respectable running with tight ends in coverage. The light appeared to flip on late in the 2022 season for Davis. It will stay on all 2023 season long. DEN LB #56 After just four pre sures in his first four outings of 2022, Browning erupted with 10 pre sures in one of the otherwise sleepiest football games we've all witne sed in a while, a 12-9 lo s to the on "Thursday Night FootballThat ridiculous effort catalyzed Browning to play more on the edge and sparked him for the rest of the season. After that effort, Browning averaged over 2.5 pre sures per contest for the remainder of the year, including six games with at least three pre sures. An off-ball linebacker by trade, Browning demonstrated serious juice, bend and powerful hands rushing from the perimeter of the defensive line in his second season. Part of a rather loaded edge-rusher group, teams will not be able to focus on Aledmys Diaz Jersey Browning game-plan wise. Next to and , Browning will have a monster 2023 as a pa s-rushing specialist who's also comfortable playing off the ball in some situations, thanks to his time spent there at Ohio State and earlier in his Broncos career.
