We\u2019ve touched on a rookie potential break out player and a guy acquired in
\na trade. In Part 2, we shine the light on a couple of starters from last
\nseason in the beginning of their careers. Their teams have put them in the
\nposition, whether it\u2019s from adapting their scheme to the player\u2019s skillset
\nor by going all in on a young guy when other, more experienced options,
\nwere available.<\/p>\n

\nQuarterback Gardner Minshew II<\/strong>
\n(2019: 60.6 completion percentage, 3,271 yards, 21 touchdowns, six
\ninterceptions, 344 rushing yards)<\/i><\/p>\n
\nsupposed to see the field for the Jaguars last season, but an early injury
\nto Nick Foles moved him up the depth chart in a hurry. \u2018<\/p>\n
\nmarket this offseason and could have looked at Tom Brady (unlikely) or Cam
\nNewton (who would have signed for sure), but they kept their hands in their
\npockets. They like Minshew and are going to roll with him in 2020.<\/p>\n
\nstatistically one of the winningest quarterbacks in Jaguars history. While
\nI don\u2019t have high hopes for Jacksonville to put together a winning record
\nthis season, Minshew can sling it. He\u2019s got solid weapons around him and
\nthe addition of Tyler Eifert at tight end (if he can stay on the field)
\nwill provide a solid boost to his numbers.<\/p>\n
\nplays right into Minshew\u2019s strengths as a former Cougar QB. His senior year
\nat Washington State he completed 70.7 percent of his passes for 4,779
\nyards, 38 touchdowns and just nine picks.<\/p>\n
\nInside linebacker Harold Landry III<\/strong>
\n(2019: 68 tackles, 12 for a loss, nine sacks, one forced fumble one
\npass defense, one interception)<\/i><\/p>\n
\nplays all four linebacker spots on any given down. Where he\u2019s most
\ndangerous, though, is on the outside and rushing the passer. With the
\nissues Tennessee has with Vic Beasley and trying to manufacture a pass
\nrush, they could sit Landry at that spot all season which should suit him
\njust fine.<\/p>\n
\nrecorded 16.5 sacks and 22 tackles for a loss. His size, at 6-2 and 252
\nshould have kept him off the line as a pro, but Tennessee put him on all
\nfours, nose-to-nose with an offensive tackle , more than once<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nChampionship game, Tennessee all but dedicated Landry to rushing the passer
\nand he nearly picked up double digit sacks. If they keep him there this
\nseason, and they should, he\u2019ll have no trouble reaching that milestone this
\nyear.<\/p>\n
