That doesn’t make him a dark horse. He’s the established starter. Does he take another step up and become n essential cog? He certainly has his detractors here in misfit land, but when he’s healthy, he’s the starter. 1
Milanos Milano Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Wade. Going to make a name for himself this year. 1 1
I'm Spartacus Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Jordan Poyer. I think he is on a mission to make the Pro Bowl. 1
Saint Doug Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Zach Ertz. As of now, he doesn’t look like he’s gonna do much for our Super Bowl push. But, I think he’ll come out of nowhere and surprise some folks. 1 1

He was a guy I thought was going to go top-10, then he opted out. So he’s behind the 8-ball a bit but his size and relative athleticism is extremely intriguing and I think he can be an impact guy from week 1. He really reminds me of Mario all the way around. He's got room for alot more muscle on that frame! He's going from college cafeteria to NFL weight room and strength and conditioning coaches. How stoked do you think they are to get a project like that. He's my fav pick in 10years other than Josh. He's gunna have a good year, and can't wait to see the transformation a year from now
The Avenger Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Reid Ferguson is going to snap his ass off and prove why he's the top paid long snapper in the league. Championship! 2 1 2 1 3
TBBills Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 I think Boogie will be the one rookie breakout. I hope Harrison Phillips breaks out also. 2
Ethan in Cleveland Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Darkhorse is an interesting choice of words. As many have said, most expect the players to play well. I will go with Cody Ford as my dark horse candidate to play really well. Many expect him to be competing just for a roster spot. My darkhorse to lose his job is Feliciano. He was never that good but seems to be a fan favorite. He drew little FA interest that we know. He is on my short list of surprise camp cuts. 1
Rockinon Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) I see the running game being much more productive. Offensive line cures last year's ills and Singletary busts out. He's only a dark horse because so many think he'll lose his starting job. Actually, I think all three running backs are going to tear it up with the OL settling into a groove. We score fast, then run the clock out. Coaches are intent on making the run game more effective. Edited June 10, 2021 by Rockinon 1
JohnBonhamRocks Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 I’ll echo whoever said Breida. I feel many view his ceiling as HB2/3, but would not surprised if he is the clear HB1 or at least HB1a/1b. Vet. Fast. Can catch. I think Daboll helps him reach his potential as an offensive weapon. 2
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Michael Jasper. The current Bills coaches love position versatility and Jasper played both offensive guard and defensive tackle in college. He has a losing record as Bethel's football coach, so he will be motivated to return to playing, and is still in his 30's. Everybody thinks we need a run stopper who can tie up blockers, and with Star opting out last year who knows if Star will return to form. Besides, I don't know about "dark," but Jasper's was always as big as a horse. And the capper - - Jasper's most recent NFL stint was with the Carolina Panthers - - 'nuff said. 4
BuffaloBillyG Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 My dark horse will be unpopular. But I am going with Mitch Trubisky. Last season we were fortunate to have Allen for all 16 regular season games. Between some of the awkward landings he had, the late hits...it wouldn't shock me if he missed a couple games a year. I think last year had we had a more solod backup than Barkley he would have missed a game or three with that shoulder he had. Mitch gives the hope that without Josh for a few weeks we can stay competitive if need be. He also has a ton of starting experience for a guy his age to help Allen on the film room. He will be better competition on the practice field. Iron sharpens iron so to speak. He may not blow everyone away in the stat box this year, but he has a great chance to make a HUGE impact. 2
716er Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 More of a bold prediction but I have a feeling one of Hyde or Poyer become expendable next year because of the emergence of Jaquan Johnson He’s going to be hard to keep off the field
Maynard Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 I’m going Spencer Brown. Guy is a mauler! I think he gets in the starting lineup at some point and absolutely dominates. 10 minutes ago, No Place To Hyde said: My dark horse will be unpopular. But I am going with Mitch Trubisky.

No, that’s very fair and a great take 1
NI Bills Fan Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Hope: Marquez Stevenson makes an impact by being a dynamic kick/punt returner and Brieda gives us something as a speedy back. Think: Efe Obada will surprise a lot of people and despite the crowded DE room he will make a significant contribution to this defence. If all 3 of those guys come good that'll be a nice boost on all 3 phases. Edited June 10, 2021 by NI Bills Fan 1
McBean Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Tremaine Edmunds Year 4, was a puppy coming out, now turns into a monster on the field. I have a feeling he’s going to have an awesome season.
Saxum Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 4 hours ago, mjt328 said: Dane Jackson One of my weekly surprises last season was seeing Jackson on the practice squad, and no other teams snatching him up. Every time he was on the field, he seemed to make plays. Last year the NFL practice squads had protection rules where teams could protect, 4 I believe, players from being taken by other teams and teams could elevate players twice a year to main roster without needing to expose them to being taken by other teams when they returned to practice squads. Dane Jackson was protected most of year which is why he was not snatched. Since they also put specific limits on amount practice squad players could be paid after some teams paid some PS players as much as 53 man squad (i.e. Denver) I found that a bit unfair to PS players.
