Every NFL team’s breakout star for this season

Breakout NFL candidates for 2023: Buffalo Bills – Greg Rousseau

The Buffalo Bills have stars across the roster, and Gregory Rousseau will join the ranks of Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, and Von Miller. Rousseau had a great career at the University of Miami before joining the Bills two seasons ago as a first-round pick. Now, as he enters his third season, Rousseau is primed to turn into a premier pass rusher in this league.

He had a 14.4 percent pressure rate, improving on his respectable 11 percent from his rookie season. This is a player that joined the league when he was barely able to drink, so he’s a 23-year-old who is younger than some of the rookies in the league. Everything is pointing towards a great player finding his footing with a fantastic team.

Rousseau might hit his stride at the perfect time, as the Bills have yet to really find their best season. Despite looking great in the regular season, the Bills have yet to find postseason success. Maybe if Rousseau becomes that dominant pass rusher, and Von Miller can stay healthy, this defense can match the greatness of the offense.

Rousseau will gain a ton of headlines because of the team he’s playing on. He had eight sacks last year, doubling his rooking number. If he can add another four sacks, putting him at 12 on the season, he’ll be considered one of the best young sack artists in the league.
