Breakout player for the Steelers in 2012

I think Cortez Allen could have a big year and make a impact even if he doesn't start he will get alot of playing time. Not to the extent of Antonio Brown in 2011 making Pro Bowl and team mvp but I see him having a impact on the defense.

 

Jonathan Dwyer.

 

i do think those players will have good years, but i also like what i'm seeing so far by lewis. we need him to play big this year.

 

But I agree that Cortez Allen could have a breakout year as well.

 

If I had to pick one.....

 

I think Chris Rainey will have a great year. I know he's a rookie, but i think he's gonna make a splash on special teams and on offense when he gets his touches, whether it be screens or something of that nature.

 

Cortez Allen, Its a travesty he is not starting opening game.

 

Chris Carter

 

I'm going to go with Steve McClendon. I think your going to see less and less of Casey Hampton.

 

At some point this season Lewis is going to get burned, bad, on a couple of plays and you'll see Allen come in and never look back. I'd be willing to bet it's sooner rather than later.

 

^ I like this pick here. He's already shown a lot of improvement and I think he'll be a force to be reckoned with this season

 

ol cortez didn't look none to good in our last preseason game and brown has not looked great either so far. if he wants to start he's got a little more work to do. i thought lewis has looked pretty decent.

 

I agree.
I was quite worried after Hampton was hurt, and Hoke retired, but McClendon`s preseason gave me much hope, and optimism, that he can step up! :thumbsup:

 

I think it's time for Cam Heyward to show us why we spent a 1st round pick on him.

 

I think it will be Jonathon Dwyer. He came in last year considered by many to be the steal of the draft. I still believe that, but he didn't put the work in. I think he did this off season and is ready.
