Walks onto stage: "Hey everyone! How are we doing today?"

Crowd: " wooo!"

Me, optimistically: " who's ready to not judge underperforming 2020 rookies?!"

Crowd, angrily: "BOOOO"

Me: "Jordy Nelson didn't breakout until year fo.."

*tomato can hits me in face*

It's almost impossible to grasp when the career is playing out, but seriously, one or two of these breakouts (at RB/WR/TE) tends to happen every year.

Player development is not always a straight shot to the top.

Golden Tate, Davante Adams, Darren McFadden, Vernon Davis

Robert Woods, DeVante Parker

We've already forgotten Derrick Henry was a backup the first two and a half years of his career.

In most cases, we know who the good players are going to be very early on. No denying that.

But be aware that every player develops differently. Year one means different things to almost every player.
