2021 NFL Season gives young talent the opportunity to have a break out year
The 2020 NFL Season has been full of ups and downs. It brought a lot of challenges to veterans and rookies. Rookies did not have much time to prepare for the regular season. The COVID-19 pandemic really impacted the rookies more than the veterans.
Rookies look for training camp to get adapted to the speed of the NFL and the teams offense. It also gives the rookies an opportunity to bond and build chemistry with their teammates. The rookie quarterbacks are the rookies that needed the offseason the most.
Trending
For the first time the NFL Draft was virtual and the season looked different as well. There was limited attendance or no attendance at all for NFL games during the 2020 NFL Season. This caused problems for some of the players that feed off the crowd to get into the game.

NFL rookies are coming off a season that had a packed house for every game that they played. It would give them a different look and feel when they would play their first NFL game without fans in the stands. On top of no fans they had little time to prep for their first game.
Some of the NFL players adapted to the change quickly and others it took some time to adapt. In the end it was the new feel to the NFL. Some may say it favored the rookies because the games had a practice feel to them without fans.
When it comes down to it, there were two handfuls of players that excelled and have a chance at becoming breakout players. With everything looking to be on schedule for the 2021 NFL Season. It shows promise that the 2020 NFL rookies will have a full offseason to get to the next level in their NFL careers.
The NFL is planning on having everything back to normal when the 2021 NFL Season kicks off. With the COVID-19 vaccine being available to the public soon it will make things easier on the NFL when it comes to allowing fans. It will finally give the 2020 NFL rookies a chance to feel the atmosphere of an NFL game.
Whether fans are allowed back or not. There are still 10 players that stood out in the 2020 NFL Season. Those 10 players have the potential to have break out years in the 2021 NFL Season.
10 NFL players who could break out in 2021
#10 Isaiah Simmons (Arizona Cardinals)
Isaiah Simmons has the opportunity to become elite in the 2021 NFL Season.
Arizona Cardinals would select linebacker Isaiah Simmons with their 8th pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Simmons had an outstanding college football career at Clemson University.

Isaiah Simmons Career stats at Clemson University:
- Total Tackles: 238
- Sacks: 11
- Interceptions: 4

In the four years that Simmons spent at Clemson his 2019 college football season was his best. He would record 104 total tackles, 8 sacks, 3 interceptions and 2 forced fumbles. This would land him the Dick Butkus Award for being the best linebacker in college football. Lets take a look at how the 2020 NFL Season turned out for Isaiah Simmons.
Isaiah Simmons' NFL Rookie Season
Simmons would play in all of the 2020 NFL games in his rookie season for the Arizona Cardinals. He would be a key role player on the Arizona Cardinals defensive front seven. Simmons has amazing speed and great talent for a linebacker.
There were times during the season that he made rookie mistakes but that is normal as he did not have a full offseason to prepare. Simmons would record four straight games where he would only record one tackle. As a linebacker that is not very impressive.
Although he made rookie mistakes and had some games that he struggled in, Isaiah Simmons proved that the Cardinals made the right pick in drafting him. Simmons will be a key piece to the Arizona Cardinals defense in the next year or two. He has the potential to have a break out year in 2021 if they can get him a full offseason to prepare for it.

- Total Tackles: 54
- Sacks: 2
- Forced Fumbles: 1
- Fumble Recoveries: 1
- Pass Deflections: 2

Even though these are not eye popping numbers it is still a productive year for the NFL rookie linebacker. Simmons has all the talent to make a big jump during the 2021 NFL Season he just needs time. With everything looking like it will go back to normal. We could potentially see Isaiah Simmons become one of the premiere linebackers in the NFL in the 2021 NFL Season.
#9 Clyde Edwards-Helaire (Kansas City Chiefs)
Clyde Edwards-Helaire will look to show the Kansas City Chiefs that he is the right running back
Kansas City Chiefs would draft running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire with their 32nd pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Edwards-Helaire would play three seasons with the LSU Tigers before jumping to the NFL. His sophomore and junior years at LSU were his most productive. He would be a part of the LSU team that won the National Championship in 2019.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire's NFL Rookie Season
Edwards-Helaire would play in 13 of the 16 games for the Kansas City Chiefs in his rookie season. The former LSU running back would not record a single fumble in his rookie year. He showed glimpses of what he can bring to the Chiefs offense in the future.
The Chiefs would add running back Le'Veon Bell during the 2020 NFL Season but it did not impact Clyde Edwards-Helaire. With the Chiefs being a pass dominant offense he still managed to have a good rookie year. In his rookie season he would lead the Kansas City Chiefs in rushing yards.
Clyde's talent was overshadowed by Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce which is expected. He still put his head down and gained quality yards for the Chiefs when they needed him. Lets take a look at how Clyde Edwards-Helaire's 2020 NFL Rookie Season turned out.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire's 2020 NFL Season Stats:
- Rushing attempts: 181
- Rushing yards: 803 yards
- Rushing touchdowns: 4
- Receptions: 36
- Receiving yards: 297 yards
- Receiving touchdowns: 1
With the numbers that Clyde Edwards-Helaire put up in his rookie season he showed the ability to be the number one running back in Kansas City. As a rookie he led all other Kansas City Chiefs running backs. Clyde is a quick running back that can catch the football out of the backfield.
This is exactly the type of running back the Kansas City Chiefs have been looking for. His catching ability causes mismatches on linebackers. We could potentially see Clyde Edwards-Helaire have a bigger role in the Chiefs offense and have a break out year in the 2021 NFL Season.
#8 Trevon Diggs (Dallas Cowboys)
Trevon Diggs has been one of the only bright sparks for a struggling Cowboys Defense
Dallas Cowboys would select cornerback Trevon Diggs with their 51st pick in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Trevon Diggs would spend all four years at Alabama. His best years at Alabama were his junior and senior seasons.
Trevon Diggs Career Stats at Alabama:

Trevon Diggs' NFL Rookie Season
Trevon Diggs would play 12 out of the 16 games for the Dallas Cowboys during the 2020 NFL Season. In those 12 games Trevon Diggs would be a bright spark for the Dallas Cowboys' struggling defense. The Cowboys defense got better as the season went along and they were a game away from making the 2021 NFL Playoffs.
Dallas Cowboys would have one of the worst seasons in recent years since Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott joined the team. This would be the worst defense the Cowboys would have in recent years as well. The Cowboys would finish the 2020 NFL Season with a 6-10 record which placed them in third place in the NFC East.
Trevon Diggs 2020 NFL Season Stats:
- Total Tackles: 58
- Sacks: 1
- Forced Fumbles: 1
- Pass Deflections: 14
- Interceptions: 3
Trevon Diggs would lead the Dallas Cowboys in interceptions in his rookie season. He would finish seventh in total tackles for the Cowboys as well. Diggs would have the same amount of sacks as the Dallas Cowboys' defensive tackle Antwaun Woods.
Diggs would also lead all Cowboys defensive backs in pass deflections with 14. Trevon has the potential to be one of the elite cornerbacks in the NFL in the next one to two years. The more he is on the field the better he will be for the Cowboys secondary.
Dallas Cowboys just recently signed former Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn to be their defensive coordinator in the 2021 NFL Season. Trevon Diggs will flourish under Dan Quinn and will become the top cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys in the 2021 NFL Season and could have a big break out year in his second season.
#7 Donovan Peoples-Jones (Cleveland Browns)
Cleveland Browns got a steal when they drafted Donovan Peoples-Jones
Cleveland Browns would select wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones with their 187th pick in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Peoples-Jones was one of the top wide receivers at Michigan.

Donovan Peoples-Jones' NFL Rookie Season
Donovan Peoples-Jones would appear in seven games for the Cleveland Browns during his rookie season. He would see more action when O'Dell Beckham Jr. went down with his leg injury. Cleveland got a steal in the draft when selecting Peoples-Jones because a lot of fans were surprised he fell to the sixth round.
Donovan Peoples-Jones 2020 NFL Season Stats:
- Receptions: 14
- Receiving yards: 304 yards
- Touchdowns: 2
Peoples-Jones would record good but not great numbers in his seven appearances. He would provide the Browns with what they needed. He was not entered into the starting lineup on offense to replace O'Dell Beckham Jr.
Donovan Peoples-Jones would record his best game for the Browns against the Tennessee Titans. He would record 2 catches for 92 receiving yards and a touchdown. One of his receptions was broken for 75 yards.
He brings the Browns a big frame to throw to over the middle. Peoples-Jones gives the Browns a wide receiver that can use his size to his advantage. Donovan would use the experience to his advantage. He would improve each and every snap he played during the 2020 NFL Season.
O'Dell Beckham Jr. will be returning in the 2021 NFL Season and Jarvis Landry has already secured the number two wide receiver slot. Donovan Peoples-Jones would fit perfectly in the number three slot at wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns. It will be interesting to see how the Browns use him in the 2021 NFL Season.
Cleveland needs to make sure that they do not waste him in his early years and then lose him to another team. Donovan Peoples-Jones has the skill set to be an elite wide receiver in the NFL. We could potentially see him break out of his shell in the 2021 NFL Season for the Browns offense.
#6 Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins)
Miami Dolphins took a gamble on Tua Tagovailoa and it seems to be paying off
Miami Dolphins would select quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with their fifth pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Tua would suffer a horrific injury in his last season at Alabama. This injury would scare off a lot of NFL teams but the Dolphins felt good about Tua.
Tua Tagovailoas Career Stats at Alabama:
- Completion Percentage: 69.3%
- Passing yards: 7,442 yards
- Touchdowns: 87
- Interceptions: 11
Tua would also contribute to the Alabama rushing attack recording 340 rushing yards nine touchdowns on 107 attempts. Tagovailoa would make a big splash when he entered the National Championship game against Georgia and fired the game winning touchdown. He would continue that success throughout his time in Alabama which led to the Miami Dolphins wanting him to be their franchise quarterback even after the injury.
Tua Tagovailoas NFL Rookie Season
Tua Tagovailoa would make his first start of the 2020 NFL Season against the Los Angeles Rams. The former Alabama quarterback would only pass for 93 yards in his debut but he led the Dolphins to a 28-17 victory over the Rams. This was one of the greatest days in Tua's life as he completed something that no one thought would be done after his injury. He started an NFL game.
Tua would lead the Miami Dolphins on a three game winning streak. During that winning streak he would not record a single interception in those three games. He would start his NFL career with five straight starts without throwing an interception.
Tua Tagovailoas 2020 NFL Season Stats:
- Completion Percentage: 64.1%
- Passing yards: 1,814 yards
- Touchdowns: 11
- Interceptions: 5
Tua would take it a step further to prove to the Miami Dolphins that they made the right move by picking him. He would rush for 109 yards and 3 touchdowns on 36 carries. Tua's injury has not impacted his play in the NFL and the Miami Dolphins are starting to look like geniuses for selecting him.
Tua Tagovailoa will most likely start the beginning of the 2021 NFL Season for the Miami Dolphins. He has more than half a season under his belt and improved in each start that he made. Miami Dolphins' rookie quarterback will have a breakout 2021 NFL Season and should lead the Dolphins to the NFL Playoffs.
#5 J.K. Dobbins (Baltimore Ravens)
J.K. Dobbins has put together a great rookie season in the NFL
Baltimore Ravens would select running back J.K. Dobbins with their 55th pick in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Dobbins would spend three years at Ohio State before leaving after his junior year to enter the NFL Draft. J.K. Dobbins would be dominant in all three years at running back for the Buckeyes.
J.K. Dobbins Career Stats at Ohio State:
- Rushing attempts: 725
- Rushing yards: 4,459 yards
- Touchdowns: 38

J.K. Dobbins NFL Rookie Season
J.K. Dobbins would play in 15 of the 16 games in his rookie season for the Baltimore Ravens. Dobbins has made it clear that he is in Baltimore to compete to be the main running back. He has done a great job stepping in for veteran running back Mark Ingram II.
J.K. Dobbins 2020 NFL Season Stats:
- Rushing attempts: 134
- Rushing yards: 805 yards
- Touchdowns: 9
Dobbins would fall short of 1,000 yards rushing in his rookie year. Missing the 1,000 yard mark by 195 rushing yards. He would finish the 2020 NFL season behind Lamar Jackson.
J.K. Dobbins would record his best rushing game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17 of the 2020 NFL Season. He would record 160 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. Dobbins would finish third in rushing yards by rookies in the 2020 NFL season. He would only trail James Robinson and Jonathan Taylor, who both went over 1,000 yards rushing.
In the 2021 NFL Season we could see J.K. Dobbins' work load increase. He has done enough work in the 2020 NFL Season to show that he should start over Mark Ingram II. Either way the Baltimore Ravens have a scary rushing attack with Lamar Jackson, Mark Ingram II and J.K. Dobbins.
Dobbins would score his first career NFL Playoff rushing touchdown against the Tennessee Titans in the NFL Wild Card Playoff game. The former Ohio State Buckeyes running back will have a good opportunity to have a break out year in the 2021 NFL Season.
#4 CeeDee Lamb (Dallas Cowboys)
CeeDee Lamb established himself as the Dallas Cowboys' number three wide receiver
Dallas Cowboys would select wide receiver CeeDee Lamb with their 17th pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Lamb would spend three seasons with the Oklahoma Sooners before making the jump to the NFL. All three years at Oklahoma he would be an integral part of their success.

CeeDee Lamb's NFL Rookie Season
CeeDee Lamb would start every game for the Dallas Cowboys in his NFL rookie season. Lamb would finish the 2020 NFL Season just behind Amari Cooper in receiving yards for the Dallas Cowboys. He would tie Cooper and Gallup in receiving touchdowns.
CeeDee Lamb's 2020 NFL Season Stats:
- Receptions: 74
- Receiving yards: 935 yards
- Touchdowns: 5
Lamb would also add 82 rushing yards and a touchdown on 10 carries in his rookie year. CeeDee Lamb would set a career high in receiving yards against the New York Giants in Week 5. He would record his first two receiving touchdown performance against the Cleveland Browns in Week 4.
Out of the 16 games that CeeDee Lamb started for the Cowboys he would only go one game without recording a reception. Dallas would use Lamb in many different ways in his rookie year. He brings the Dallas Cowboys offense a different look and more options.
CeeDee Lamb could potentially become the Cowboys number two wide receiver in the next year. Amari Cooper has established himself as a number one. If the Cowboys are able to resign Dak Prescott it would really benefit all three Cowboys wide outs. Cooper, Gallup and Lamb all play better football when Dak is on the field at quarterback.
In the 2021 NFL Season we can look for the Cowboys to enter more packages that will let CeeDee Lamb make moves in space. He is most effective when he is in the open field. Dallas will implement more jet sweeps, wide receiver screens and possibly a wildcat package with just him and Zeke.
#3 Chase Young (Washington Football Team)
Chase Young has been everything the Washington Football Team thought he would be
Washington Football Team would draft defensive end Chase Young with their second overall pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

He would lead the Big Ten in tackles for loss. He would also lead the NCAA in sacks, fumbles forced, and would be ranked fourth in the NCAA in tackles for loss. Chase Young was labeled as a generational talent and he has proved that to be true.
Chase Young's NFL Rookie Season
Chase Young has put together a great rookie season for the Washington Football Team. Their defense is full of young talent on the defensive line. Young stepped right in and proved to be a leader.
In his rookie season Chase Young would be selected to the NFL Pro Bowl game in just his first season with Washington. Young would only miss one start in his rookie season in Washington. If one thing Washington can be happy about is that the future is bright for the rookie defensive end.

- Total Tackles: 44
- Sacks: 7.5

Chase has a good opportunity to become one of the elite defensive lineman in the NFL in the 2021 NFL Season. With Ron Rivera being the head coach it gives Young a great defensive minded coach. We could see Chase Young record double digit sacks in his second year in the NFL.
#2 Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals)
Joe Burrow had a great NFL rookie season before suffering an injury
Cincinnati Bengals would select quarterback Joe Burrow with their first overall pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Burrow would start his college career at Ohio State but would later transfer to LSU. While at LSU he would lead them to a National Championship in his senior season.

- Touchdowns: 76
- interceptions: 11
Burrow would also rush for 767 yards and 12 touchdowns on 243 attempts for the LSU Tigers. Burrows best year was his senior season at LSU. His senior season made him the number one pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Joe Burrow's NFL Rookie Season
Cincinnati Bengals were criticized about taking Joe Burrow with the number one pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. The media would base their argument on why the Bengals shouldn't draft Burrow. They said that the Bengals cannot base their franchise quarterback off of one good season. Burrow proved all the media wrong within three starts for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Joe Burrow's 2020 NFL Season Stats:
- Completion Percentage: 65.3
- Passing yards: 2,688 yards
- Touchdowns: 13
- Interceptions: 5
Burrow would also add 142 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns on 37 attempts during his rookie year. Burrow would start 10 games for the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2020 NFL Season. His starts would end after suffering a torn ACL.
Joe Burrow would pass for 300 yards or more in half of his starts for the Bengals in his rookie year. He wouldn't commit a turnover in half of his starts in the 2020 NFL Season. Burrow was proving a point to the critics that he was definitely worth the number one pick.
If Joe Burrow wouldn't have gotten hurt he would've been up for the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Cincinnati Bengals need to get him more protection up front. They also need to look at adding a wide receiver and a reliable tight end for the rookie quarterback.
If the Cincinnati Bengals can address their offensive line and get one more wide receiver we could see a different Burrow in 2021. Joe Burrow will have a break out 2021 NFL Season coming off his injury. He could lead the Bengals to the playoffs in the next one to two years. Cincinnati made the right choice in picking Joe Burrow as their franchise quarterback.
#1 Justin Herbert (Los Angeles Chargers)
Justin Herbert had the best NFL season out of all the rookie quarterbacks
Los Angeles Chargers would select quarterback Justin Herbert with their sixth pick of the first round in the 2020 NFL Draft. Herbert would spend four years at the University of Oregon before heading to the NFL. He would put together four years of great production for Oregon.
Justin Herbert's Career Stats at Oregon:
- Completion Percentage: 64%
- Passing yards: 10,541 yards
- Touchdowns: 95
- Interceptions: 23
Herbert would also record 560 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns on 231 attempts at Oregon. Justin Herbert was not the typical Oregon quarterback. When thinking of an Oregon offense we think of fast paced mobile quarterback. Herbert was not the best mobile quarterback but could run if he had to.
Justin Herbert's NFL Rookie Season
Justin Herbert would be named starting quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2 of the 2020 NFL Season. Imagine being a rookie quarterback and your first start is against the defending Super Bowl Champions. Herbert came into that start fearless. The Chargers would lose in overtime to the Chiefs 23-20 but this game showed the Chargers that they had something special at quarterback.
Justin Herbert's 2020 NFL Season Stats:
- Completion Percentage: 66.6%
- Passing yards: 4,336 yards

Coming into the 2020 NFL Season the Los Angeles Chargers would have a different look to them. Philip Rivers would not be there quarterback and they would have to find his replacement. Tyrod Taylor would be named the starter for their Week 1 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Even after beating the Bengals the Chargers would insert Justin Herbert into the starting lineup for Week 2. He would not look back after making his first start and would start the next 15 games of the 2020 NFL Season. Herbert may have had a break out year in the 2020 NFL Season.
In the 2021 NFL Season we could potentially see Justin Herbert take the next step in his NFL career. The Chargers are a very talented football team. They have weapons on offense and defense. Justin Herbert will lead the Chargers to the NFL Playoffs in the 2021 NFL Season.
