The 2026 Breakout Player Will Be...........

[sonorajim]

Then how 'bout a breakout in the playoffs? Let's go for that one instead 😁

How about last game in the playoffs? We were AFL Champs in '63, AFC Champs in '94. It's about time to take that last step. SB Champs '26

I'll take Brenen Thompson.

I am going to 2nd this.

How can any rookie including Brenen Thompson have a break out year, if they have not even been broken in 🤔

But he can battle for OROY 😬

A rookie can break out. No rule against that, they aren’t required to wait before they break.

Sure. Just don't choke or throw the game away for the other team.

Agree! They can't ... one breaks out of prison, the doldrums, ... anything confining where their potential has not been realized.

People insisting otherwise should be confined to some rookie thread where if there posting is excellent they will be allowed to breakout and spread their excellence elsewhere.

Only their face can breakout, but their level of play ... no!

Yes he might but Thompson will not get enough snaps and targets to be the Chargers breakout player.

Maybe Mattlock at safety.

A good pick but I have a better one.....DAEJON LOVE WR (Welcome to the LAC!!!!)
