Every NFL team’s breakout star for this season

Chigoziem Okonkwo Washington Commanders – Jahan Dotson

The Washington Commanders could be anything this season. They could be a playoff team who beats the odds and finds success under Sam Howell. They could be a team that’s fighting for the number-one overall pick. Ron Rivera definitely has a hot seat, but who knows with the Josh Harris group buying the team from Dan Snyder? This franchise has a lot going on off the field that the on-the-field product is taking a backseat.

However, once we get to Week 1, the only thing that matters is what’s happening between the hashmarks. Washington needs big seasons from the skill players on the offense. Terry McLaurin is going to lead the offense, but there’s an opening for the number-two wide receiver. Curtis Samuel could take that spot, but Jahan Dotson is going to end up being the guy. He was last year’s first-round pick, and he failed to show enough to convince he deserves the spot off the bat.

Dotson had just 35 catches for just over 500 yards last season. Now, the Commanders were a mess last season. Carson Wentz wasn’t the answer (surprise surprise). Dotson was trying to find his place in a weird offense.

This season, Dotson is going into this season with at least an established expectation. Eric Bieniemy is the new offensive coordinator, leaving the champion Chiefs for a new opportunity. He’s going to find the best of Dotson, making him a breakout star.
