6 Players Ready to Break out Under New Head Coaches

Players know they go back to square one whenever a new regime takes over."It's a complete reset," Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson told reporters about his team's new coaching staff. Quick note: None of the teams with new coaches, who previously served on the staff only to be elevated into said position, are included.As part of the Russell Wilson trade, Albert Okwuegbunam takes over as the Denver Broncos' TE1. "He always has something to add onto it to just kind of help." Of note, new Broncos offensive coordinator Justin Outten previously served as the Green Bay Packers' tight ends coach. Enter new head coach Josh McDaniels, general manager Dave Ziegler and the New England Patriots' way of doing things. Bricillo cut his teeth in the NFL as Dante Scarnecchia's coaching assistant and spent the last three seasons with the Patriots, where he helped develop Isaiah Wynn and Michael Onwenu.Jaylon Johnson is already one of the better young cornerbacks in the NFL, but new Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus sees room for improvement."Jaylon, you know a young player, is still a work in progress," Eberflus told reporters. Just keep working and we'll see where he goes."Instead of building around second-year quarterback Justin Fields, the Bears' brass placed a greater emphasis on their secondary based on how the board fell during the draft. The New York Giants' decision to not pick up Daniel Jones' fifth-year rookie option speaks volumes as the quarterback enters his fourth season. But a significant change had been made this offseason with former Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll taking over as the Giants' head coach and former NFL quarterback/Kansas City Chiefs passing game coordinator Mike Kafka slotting in as New York's offensive coordinator. Maybe the Dolphins quarterback had been held back by a defensive-minded head coach, the league's worst offensive line and a lack of weapons.
