Buried amid other predictions, wacky fonts and embedded tweets on the new MMQB is an item on this year's NFL "breakout star." Peter King's site tabs Packers RB Eddie Lacy as the offensive breakout star.
BOOOOO!!!! Maybe break a table star! Right!? (That's a weight joke).
OK, but seriously Lacy is going to be good.
Anyway, his breakout defensive star choice is Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen. Per the site:
The fourth-year Vikings defensive end has sensational speed and pliable body control. He can play anywhere along the defensive front. If afforded enough playing time, Griffen will have a 15-sack season.
It's a good choice, but 15 sacks? Seems optimistic, but we'll see.
