As we trudge through the 2019 offseason Youth Dak Prescott Jersey , our minds will ultimately wander into projecting the next regular season in some way. that weekly competition. Sure, the Super Bowl has yet to be played, and there is always free agency, the draft, and the start of training camp serving as oases along the way. But nothing quite satisfies like real football.In that spirit, let’s project ahead to the 2019 regular season and think about players who might be the breakout stars of that campaign. Granted, the term breakout is nebulous and can stretch in multiple ways. For this exercise, we’re going to define it in a very unscientific way. The breakout player will be a player that even casual fans of other teams will be well aware of by the end of the year. For example, no one was really talking much about Byron Jones, except for Cowboys fans, during his time in Dallas previous to the 2018 campaign. Now, he’s thought of as one of the better cornerbacks in the league and made the Pro Bowl. He’s become a known entity across the league. 2018 was most definitely a breakout year for Jones.Here are two candidates for breakout years in 2019 Youth Ezekiel Elliott Jersey , one on offense and one on defense.Offense - Michael GallupCowboys fans know the potential the rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup showed in 2018. Gallup had 33 catches for 507 yards with two touchdowns. Those are respectable numbers for a rookie wideout, especially on an offensively-challenged team like the Cowboys. But any Cowboys observer will tell you that was not near what it could have been. For whatever reason, Dak Prescott and Gallup could not get on the same page on the long ball. There were a handful of plays where Gallup had easily beat his coverage deep but the pass from Prescott was off target. Gallup’s yards and touchdown totals could have been much higher had those plays worked out. Perhaps another offseason of work between Gallup and Prescott will tighten up those long bombs.Additionally, the trade for Amari Cooper opened up the Cowboys offense. In 2019, teams are not going to let Cooper beat them. Teams will be double-teaming Cooper and coverages will definitely be slanted his way. Gallup should be the beneficiary of that attention on the other side. Look for Gallup to become a full-fledged force in 2019.Defense - Randy GregoryPlenty of people know about Randy Gregory throughout NFL fanbases. Unfortunately, it’s not for his play on the field. Fans have had their fun ridiculing the seemingly wasted second-round pick the Cowboys dropped on Gregory in the 2015 draft. Suspensions have robbed Gregory of playing time as he’s had a rough road in terms of getting his personal life together. This past year, it all started to come together for Gregory. On the field, he was showing the promise that would have made him a “top of the first round” pick without the off-field baggage. Gregory had six sacks and many more QB pressures, and gave left tackles fits this season. On the down side, he committed some very costly penalties, but his skills were finally starting to shine.Betting on Gregory to keep his sobriety and to say out of the NFL’s doghouse is always a risky proposition. That reason alone is the biggest threat to him becoming a breakout star. On the other hand, if he has conquered his demons to the extent he can stay on the field Color Rush Maliek Collins Jersey , participate fully in all of the offseason programs and practices, come 2019 he should be a terror on the field. 2019 could be the season we see double-digit sacks from Gregory.Who are your candidates for breakout players in 2019? Drew Brees has met Dez Bryant on several occasions, including in the Pro Bowl. The Saints quarterback starts working with the team’s new offensive toy Thursday when the star receiver practices for the first time.“Dez has been a really good player in this league for a long time,” Brees told reporters Wednesday, via video released by the team. “There is certainly a skill set that he has that is going to be beneficial. I look forward to getting to work with him. I look forward to building a rapport with him. I look forward to getting him involved in this offense and for him just to become a complement to all the guys we already have. I think he’ll see that, too, when he gets here. I’m sure he’s been watching from afar. It’s just how he’ll integrate into this offense. I think he’ll be a great addition.”The question is: How quickly can Bryant integrate into the offense? Bryant has spent his career playing in Jason Garrett’s offense in Dallas. Signing in the middle of the season, Bryant has days, not weeks or months, to learn enough of the playbook and get enough timing down with Brees to contribute.“It’s not like you just hand him the playbook and expect him to learn it overnight,” Brees said. “It’s one of those things that’s a process. I think for any new guy coming in, especially a skill player Allen Hurns Jersey , it’s new verbiage. I don’t know how much carryover there will be from what he had in Dallas. Probably not a lot. I think that’s a process, but you bring him along, and you want to put him in positions to succeed, right? You want to take the stuff that he’s really good at, and then integrate him into the offense accordingly. We’ll have a plan for that as we go along.”Bryant has not had a 1,000-yard season since 2014, and he has gone 23 games without a 100-yard game. With a cast of playmakers, the Saints don’t need him to accomplish either. That’s why Brees expects Bryant to fit right in with his new team and his new teammates despite Bryant’s reputation of being a “big personality.”“I think this locker room is one of the best locker rooms I’ve ever been a part of as far as the type of character and type of leadership and that kind of thing,” Brees said. “If you talk to free agents and guys who have come here over the last couple of offseasons, I think they would be the first ones to tell you that that has a lot to do with the reason why we are successful, and we’ve been able to build a culture that we have is because of the type of guys we bring in here.“Listen, there’s all kinds of different personalities when it comes to exactly that Authentic Deonte Thompson Jersey , just personality or competitive nature or this guy’s a jokester; this guy’s that; this guy’s that. Everybody when it’s time to work, it’s time to work; when it’s time to have fun, it’s time to have fun. I think everyone complements one another. I think we all want to win, so at the end of the day, if we can bring somebody in here who can help us win, then that’s great.”The Saints began talking about Bryant after the Cowboys released him in April, Brees said. But they did not have a need for him until this week. Custom Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys
