The NFL regular season kicks off in less than a month. Right now, there are nearly 40 former Hawkeyes on an NFL roster.
Last year, Micah Hyde had a breakout season, intercepting two passes, returning two punts for touchdowns, and recording 59 tackles and a sack.
My Breakout NFL Hawkeye in 2015: New England Patriots tight end Scott Chandler
Why: Chandler has put up respectable #'s despite playing with mediocre teams and quarterbacks (Ryan Fitzpatrick, E.J. Manuel, Thad Lewis and Kyle Orton). Since 2011, Chandler has averaged 528 receiving yards and 4.25 touchdowns per season. Having Tom Brady throwing him the football (eventually), and playing in double TE sets with Rob Gronkowski should give the former Hawkeye plenty of chances to touch the football.
Which player who previously wore the Black & Gold do you think will shine brightest in 2015?
