Breakouts! Leaps! It’s that time of year to predict the big seasons ahead for young players throughout the NFL. I looked at all types of players from the 2024 and 2025 draft classes poised for a big, or bigger, season.
Whether that’s a starter about to jump to a postseason award, a former first-rounder anointing themselves as a real player or a role player establishing himself as something much more, here are players ready to launch their careers forward.

This week, we look at the offense (sans quarterback), and next week we’ll take a look at the defensive breakouts.
Offensive linemen
Paul and Beebe are two young offensive linemen who could really rise with how they’re ranked among their NFL peers. And they couldn’t be more opposite of players.
Paul is a massive player who entered the league with the obvious size and length, but real flashes of high-end athleticism made me put him as my 36th overall prospect in the 2024 draft. Paul was inconsistent with his hand placement at Houston, but he showed the ability to recover with his length and bend. And in the NFL, his strikes have become way more consistent and damaging as well. His length and light feet give him a fighting chance to stave away bendier NFL pass rushers, and he’s become a devastating run blocker firing off the football and in space tracking down smaller defenders down the field. While I wish I could have seen Paul in Mike McDaniel’s scheme for a few more years, I am particularly bullish on his continued development. He has All-Pro ability that he’s starting to hone and I’m excited to see what he looks like in 2026.

Beebe is a player whose build I once described as like Spongebob Squarepants. The Cowboys took him in the third round of the 2024 draft, bumped him to center, and it looks like they’ve found their next long-term answer at the position. While Beebe lacks length, he has plenty of bulk and maximizes it all with his ability to constantly put himself in winning positions as a blocker. He’s also created a great battery with Dak Prescott in how they communicate pre-snap.

It was hard to narrow down the breakout linemen because there’s a ton I wanted to highlight here. Dylan Fairchild knocks defenders out of the park with some of his blocks, and got much better as the season went along. The Bengals’ offensive line as a whole is wildly underrated and should be looked at as more of a top-10 unit this year. And Fairchild’s strong play is part of that. Also a shoutout to his teammate Amarius Mims, who put together a full season and also showed off his high-end traits as the year went along. Mims has as high of a ceiling at tackle as anybody in the NFL. Offensive line coach Scott Peters has done a nice job in Cincinnati.
