Every NFL team’s potential breakout player for the 2022 season

Our NFL Wire editors examined one potential breakout player for every team ahead of the 2022 season.

There’s no underestimating the transition from college football to the NFL, where it takes some players time to fully adjust to the size and speed of the pro game.
It’s why rookies rarely thrive and why we see some substantial jumps for young players over the course of a few years.
There are a number of players around the league who are primed to make a leap this season due to their situation and/or opportunity following what’s been a whirlwind of an NFL offseason, which has featured its share of change among NFL rosters.
From second-year quarterbacks to talented, young wideouts, our NFL Wire editors examined one player from every team poised for a breakout year in 2022.

Are the Miami Dolphins considering trading Tua Tagovailoa?

Former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa could be on the move after one season with the Miami Dolphins. His landing spot? Houston.

The Miami Dolphins‘ No. 5 overall selection from the 2020 NFL draft, Tua Tagovailoa, had his rookie season end in an unfortunate fashion – a 10-6 season without a potential run in the playoffs.

While his performance throughout his first season wsn’t enough to make headlines, it was far from terrible.

He completed 186 passes on 290 attempts for 11 touchdowns and five interceptions.

Why would the Dolphins look to trade the former Alabama star? After all, he was supposed to be the quarterback of the future for the AFC East franchise.

Well, another opportunity for the team may present itself with a veteran, more established quarterback.

Houston Texans star passer, and former Clemson Tiger, Deshaun Watson is reportedly going to request a trade to get out of Houston, which finished 4-12 in 2020.

The Texans are about to begin a rebuild. They let go of Bill O’Brien after four games in 2020, despite an offseason full of questionable moves.

If Houston wants to restart, they’ll need new, young talent. The Dolphins own the Texans’ first and second round selections for the 2021 draft. Could they target that and Tua?

There’s been no official word from either team, nor have there been any reports that link the two teams together.

However, NFL fans and analysts are beginning to piece together hypothetical trade scenarios between Miami and Houston.
