Dallas Cowboys: G Connor Williams

The Cowboys’ offensive line is still one of the best in the league but some of the faces have changed over the years and injuries have certainly been a factor. Emerging Connor Williams was a second-round pick in 2018 and the versatile former University of Texas standout has made a combined 21 regular-season starts the past two seasons.

Denver Broncos: QB Drew Lock

Vic Fangio’s club won seven of its final 12 games after a 0-4 start. And under the command of quarterback Drew Lock, the Denver Broncos were a 4-1 football team the final five weeks of 2019. He threw for seven scores and just three interceptions during that stretch. Look for him to build on those numbers with a better supporting cast.

Detroit Lions: RB D’Andre Swift

The Lions’ ground attack has been missing in action for too long. The team used a second-round choice in 2018 on Auburn standout Kerryon Johnson but he’s failed to stay healthy. Enter 2020 second-round pick D’Andre Swift, who hopes to have the same impact as former University of Georgia running backs Sony Michel and Nick Chubb.
